Project ECO 2025 Public Health: Primary School

Project E.C.O. 2025 – Public Health - Primary

Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School – Gold

The project team from the Student Council embarked on a seven-month long education campaign, promoting dengue prevention to their school and community. The students were motivated by concern for the elderly in their neighbourhood and its history as a dengue red-cluster zone.

The students crafted educational materials including presentation slides for different age groups. They also designed interactive games like "Swat the Aedes Mosquito" and "Repel the Mosquito" to further engage participants. The team carried out a community outreach in partnership with Bukit Timah Community Club at the "Majulah Bukit Timah" Celebrations, conducting their community outreach in both English and Mandarin, aligned with the school's mission to develop bilingual students. The team also did a presentation to kindergarteners from Glory Kindergarten. Similar activities were carried out in school. The students gave a school-wide presentation during assembly and conducted interactive recess activities to educate and engage their peers on dengue prevention.

The team's initiatives successfully achieved their goals, with post-activity surveys showing that all participants could recognise Aedes mosquitoes and identify at least one way to prevent mosquito breeding.

The project team embarked on a seven-month project to raise awareness among students, teaching staff and wider community on dengue prevention measures. After conducting research, they designed a dengue fever prevention poster, and created an educational skit for the school community, making key messages engaging and memorable. To reach beyond the school, they partnered with Lions Befrienders to reach out to elderly residents, set up an interactive booth with hands-on activities at Sengkang Community Club, and shared their findings with peers from other CCAs and student care centres.

1. Unity Primary School – Bronze

The project team embarked on a six-month project to raise awareness and promote responsible toilet habits. They carried out research, explored best practices and deliberated on creative ways to engage their target audience. For outreach within the school community, the team produced a campaign video all by themselves, rewriting the lyrics of a Taylor Swift song for a new song titled “Flush It Off”. They also organised mini games on toilet cleanliness during the school’s annual Science & Green Carnival. To extend their outreach to the wider community, the team designed simple card games to introduce the topic of  toilet cleanliness to kindergarten children. They also encouraged the preschoolers to bring the messages back to their families.

2. APSN Chaoyang School – Bronze

The project team embarked on an initiative to promote environmental awareness and community cleanliness in Ang Mo Kio. Students surveyed the area around their school and observed the littering patterns. and identifying that grass patches were particularly affected by improper waste disposal. Through their research, they discovered that many residents were not using rubbish bins effectively, prompting them to develop creative solutions. Working in pairs during environmental CCA periods, students brainstormed ways to make bins more attractive to encourage proper litter disposal.

They designed vibrant rubbish bins featuring creative concepts including a trash-eating monster and a litter-free landscape. With guided support from teachers and collaborating with town council, the students painted the bins, which were then placed around public spaces in Ang Mo Kio estate.

The team also organised community clean-up activities where students, equipped with garbage bags and tongs, picked up litter around residential blocks. Through these hands-on activities, students demonstrated leadership, teamwork and creativity whilst raising anti-litter awareness amongst approximately 300 residents in their neighbourhood, encouraging responsible waste disposal and fostering lasting community pride.
