A Green Day with Yishun Secondary School

Our Green Day in the Community

Yishun Secondary School, in collaboration with the Nee Soon South Zone H Resident Network (RN), proudly organized Green Day in the Community—an event dedicated to promoting biodiversity, environmental sustainability, and green living practices within our neighborhood.

Supported by the National Environment Agency (NEA), ALBA, Xishan Primary, Northland Primary, Northland Secondary, and Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary, the event brought together residents and students for a day of engaging, exciting, and educational activities.

From hands-on workshops to interactive exhibits, participants gained valuable insights into sustainable living, environmental conservation, and the importance of protecting our natural ecosystems. The event aimed to empower the community with knowledge and inspiration to take meaningful steps toward a greener future.

Together, we celebrated our shared commitment to a more sustainable world—one small green step at a time.
