NP-ITE Eco Camp 2006

2006-05-31T21:55:00.000+08:00

The Best Camp
Ever!!

Incredulous adventure and spirit warped the ERS organisers as well as our ITE Bishan counterparts.The ITE students storm started the camp with their group cheers making the spirit high in the air.

Some said, " Ngee Ann is so big! I can hardly find my way here and there!"What the ITE students said is true. An astonishing 35.4 hectares campus, incorporating a whole range of faclilities makes Ngee Ann one of the best polytechnic in Singapore.

The sleepover at Sentosa Underwater World was an eye-opener to all the participants. Many could not bear to leave the underground marine aquarium when time was up.

ERS celebrates the success of their first major collaboration event with ITE Bishan this year. ERS hopes for more opportunities to come. Upcoming events includes replotting session on the 10th June. Interested, pls email to environmental_rangers@yahoo.com.sg

A very activity-filled holiday

2006-04-27T22:05:00.000+08:00

A very fun-filled holiday, kicked start with a can tab campaign. The successful campaign received close to a total of 6000 can tabs! Thank you all who supported this campaign!

The replotting session was enjoyable, transfering the plantlings to the nursery. Whole morning of hard work paid off, and fortunately, it rained after the activity.

The committee meeting was a catch up with all members and to settle our administrations and work to be allocated to one another. Later, the clubhouse was repainted, and refurbished, waiting for the arrival of the new club members.

Packaging of goodie bags for the cca fiesta was tedious. Many were involved in the community service. With sheer determination of the members, 6000 goodie bags were packed and sorted nicely.

CCA Fiesta got back the greatest reward. Almost 100 interested parties wrote down their names, which meant that the new batch will have a larger batch of students.

Next will be the upcoming "Return Your Tray Campaign" during 2th-5th May 2006. Care to be involved in it? Reply to environmental_rangers@yahoo.com.sg then. :)

Looking for sth to do in the holidays? Isn’t it boring to always go to orchard or some other shopping mall? Try some of these nature activities. They are all organized by the various environmental groups by Singapore. The following are some which we think are more interesting. Do participate enthusiastically!!!

1st Oct (Sat): Lower Peirce Boardwalk free Nature Appreciation Walk

The 900m boardwalks take you through the forest then along the edge of the Reservoir. So you will encounter a wide range of wildlife from forest to aquatic creatures. And enjoy wonderful panaromas of waters surrounding by luxuriant forest. Shaded by the forest, the walk is pleasantly cool.

A relatively new reforestation plot, the saplings on the "CasuarinaPlot" are still too young to have crowns large enough to shade thesun-loving weeds out.

Time: 20th Aug, Sat, 9am – 12noon

If you are coming, please be prepared to work in the open field under the sun·
