Dinja Waħda – Environmental Walk 23th March ‘14

Ghadira

Our school is taking part in the Dinja Waħda activities for the second consecutive year. All the activities, thirty in all are found both in a book published by Birdlife Malta, as well as on the Dinja Waħda website. Bird Life Malta.

All the activities tie up with school syllabi and are very interesting, creative and educational.

This year the Senior School students have also been included in these activities. In addition our students are rangers because they take part in cleaning up certain parts of our diminishing countryside from the rubbish people leave behind while on picnics.

Last year the Newark School won the Gold Award – a very satisfying reward for all efforts.

The school hopes to see all parents and students taking part in environmental walk this year.
