CAS Activity to Clean Campus

The students of grade 11 in CAS activities- the class was split into two groups, one who worked on decorating the classroom soft boards and the other who cleaned the school's indoor fish pond.

Cleaning the fish pond, as an activity, was relatively new to all of the students. We soon found out that it required a meticulous approach and lots of teamwork. The first thing we did was catch and remove the turtles and fish from the pond and place them in a separate tank for the time being, after which some of the students got into the water and began removing the large rocks that covered the floor of the pond. The students set up a makeshift assembly line that would ensure that each individual rock was scrubbed of dirt and algal growth before being returned to the pond. Using mops and scrubbers, we scraped the walls of the pond clean before returning the clean rocks to the pond.

A good environment to thrive in is important for all living beings and it was really great to be able to help the school out, especially when we learned a few new skills in the process. As a result of our perseverance and teamwork, the fish have a more hygienic home to thrive in.
