The Form IIs have been studying the effect of anthropogenic waste on oceans as part of the Geography curriculum. Case studies and YouTube clips which focused on plastic in our environment were discussed and the section culminated in the girls being asked to design an appropriate logo and visual material for a shopping bag to create awareness of this issue. This task demanded their creative input, as one of the requirements was to make use of recycled materials.
