The school was invited by NParks to present student projects in the form of posters for Ubin Day 2018, held on 24th June at Pulau Ubin.

This year, three groups of Secondary Three students from the Extended Classroom Programme – Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (ECP-STEM) had the opportunity to work directly with NParks. The projects were Reforestation, Study of Birds@Ubin, and Study of Bats@Ubin.

In the Reforestation presentation, our students tagged trees to monitor their growth, and identified birds and butterflies as indicators of the biodiversity in the reforested areas. In the Study of birds@Ubin, they tagged birds using a harmless method called the ‘bird ringing method’, and identified bird species encountered in eastern Pulau Ubin. And in the Study of Bats@Ubin, they collected data of the types of bats found in Ubin and discovered certain species of bats found only in Ubin. The experience the students went through was real and beyond the classroom, and they were glad to share their learning from Ubin Day with their peers.
