Switch Off Campaign was launched last week. The response was very encouraging from students and teachers. This campaign shall continue until end of this year. We hope to see some reduction in electricity usage soon....Insyallah!



Event date : 1st July 2009

The fans are switched off only up to 10:30am ,after morning recess students are allowed to switch on back , we are not introducing any discomfort to our students cause the fan blackout period is only in the morning which is still considered a cooling period .

SRAIB @ Ma' Daerah


Event Date : 29-31 May 2009

Four of our students team and a teacher in charge - Ms Nor Aini were at BP Ma' Daerah Turtle Sanctuary Centre, Kerteh for 3D 2N Study Tour. The team had a good environmental exposure esp thru the talks conducted there by MNS, WWF and Fisheries Dept. Getting to know other school participants and learning on what others did to reduce their school's carbon foot prints at their schools thru the schools' exhibitions/presentations/games were another plus points in this stay here!!.
Also not to forget getting a true life experiences releasing baby turtle to the sea and watching real life turtles laying eggs - were wonderful moments and experiences one could ask for @ Ma'Daerah.

Thank you BP for giving us a chance to experience these!!
Our Winning Prize (Exhibition category) @ Ma'Daerah
We are proud of you guys...!!

Coming up next are ...our school Mini Gardens!!



Coming up with mini gardens are actually part of Irsyad Goes Green -Tree/Plant Planting project. We believe this project could help to offset carbon emmision @ school as plants are always a good counterbalance to carbon emission as they inhale or absorb carbon dioxide and exhale or emit oxygen. Apart from trying to offset this carbon emmision, our students could also get benefits from knowing/learning types of plants there are at these mini gardens, especiallly those that are rare and difficult to find outside..


So far, work already started on these 3 mini gardens .........


1. Hibiscus Mini Garden/Park...InsyaAllah. Variety types of hibiscus will be planted at this mini garden. At this moment , work already started with the garden's soil preparation.




2. Scented Mini Garden - Plot already allocated, Soil preparation already completed. Now few scented plants are started to be planted such as.....




3. Edible Mini Garden - will be planted with vegetables/fruits tree is still at its beginning stage of allocating the spot and fencing task...
