At the beginning of this term, the RRR Comenius group initiated a design contest for waste paper collection in the classrooms. The students were asked to use old cardboard boxes and to design them. In these boxes, waste paper can easily be collected in the classrooms. Naturally, the boxes can be reused as long as they are treated well ... And at the end of the term, they can be put into waste paper bins, too. So the three key words concerning the dealing with waste are found in the designed box: “reduce”, “reuse” and “recycle”.
The classes 6d and 6a won the competition because they convinced the student jury from the Comenius project even though it was a very difficult decision.
This contest was to bring also the younger students closer to important topics like the protection of our environment, which can be started easily with little things like recycling. The big participation of the classes shows that environment does matter to the students of the NGB. And there was another incentive: the winners got prizes from our school’s newly founded environment and recycling shop (you can buy reusable lunchboxes and bottles as well as eco-friendly exercise books there and we collect for example old printer cartridges and mobile phones).
