Though World Environment Day was officially observed on June 5, the school extended the spirit of the occasion by organising the event later in the week to ensure full student involvement. The aim was not only to beautify the school but also to instill a sense of environmental responsibility among young learners. The event concluded with a short awareness session where students pledged to care for the plants and spread the message of environmental protection within their communities.
