Environmental Education Workshop on Microplastics and Oceans in Trouble

Our Geography Department, Biology Department and Gifted Education Team co-organized an environmental education workshop on 24 February 2023 for our Form 3 to Form 5 Geography, Biology and gifted students to delve deeper into the issue of global plastic problems. Through the 1-hour hands-on session, our students got to know more about the rising concerns of microplastics, plastic-free seas and the use of microbeads in skin care products.
