Water & Sanitation

Cut municipal water for Grade 2-7: We continue to use our borehole water and JOJO tanks in as many ways as possible. This year our grade 7 bathroom block was taken off municipal water and connected to borehole water. This means that we now have our grade 2 – 7 toilets on borehole or JOJO tank water. Additionally, there is a water fountain that has been built outside the grade 6 & 7 toilet block. For this reason we were able to move the basin water in this block over to the borehole water as well.

Extend the indigenous gardenThe large tarmac area between two classroom blocks was, in 2022, converted into another lovely indigenous garden! We are extending this garden slightly so that two previously separated areas are joined with paths and a large chess board in between.

Production, Consumption & Waste

To recycle white paper, cardboard and PET plastic, great opportunity for women in the community to make money off our recycled material: We still have our Mpact paper recycling bin and so all paper and books that need to be recycled are deposited in this bin.

We also collect white paper for a company called Eazi Waste. They are able to recycle white paper only.

We make our own workbooks and therefore use more paper than other schools which use textbooks, however, as far as possible we make use of both sides of the paper that we use and the pupils are encouraged to recycle their books and booklets at the end of the year. Whenever possible, paper is recycled within the classrooms as scrap paper for the pupils to use.

Cardboard is collected in our cardboard shelter and community members who collect cardboard for recycling as income can access this.

We have asked the same community member if she would also like our plastic PET waste and cans. She will be collecting this too from now on.

To set up a glass recycling depo for the wider community: We have finally managed to convince The Glass Co that we should receive a glass bank (they said that our collection was too small – we argued that we are a small school and that surely a glass bank was a recycling initiative and not just a money making one!) We have this near our car park and have also invited the wider Manor Gardens community to make use of this.
