11B-Ocean Conservation is the protection and preservation of ecosystems in

oceans and seas through planned management in order to prevent the GRADE 11-B

exploitation of these resources. So, in order to have a perception about this,
students of 11 B were engaged in their Drop-Down Day (8 Sept,) which is also
called ‘off-timetable day.’
The main purpose of this day is to replace structured classroom lessons, with
activities that strengthen students’, practical application of skills and provide
a deeper learning experience. Our school provided a platform to our students
to highlight the need for Conservation of Ocean. It provided everyone with
a chance to interpret and create an avenue towards change.
The class was enthralled by PowerPoint presentations and interactive video
sessions which had active involvement of the students. The class members
discussed the actual state of how our ocean is depleted globally as well as
setting up a strategy for adopting measures which would let us live and let
live peacefully.
After these sessions, a poster making activity was held in which students
were told to make posters on marine conservation. Students were delighted
to have this opportunity to share their ideas on marine conservation.
Students were divided into groups and posters were made with creative and
inventive ideas. Finally, the posters were all pasted in a chart forming poster
collage.
The activity was intended to make the students know about how marine

species face difficulties in their life due to our convenient and greedy life.
‘’ I am disappointed that we human treat this species so lowly but after this

has come to light, we need to take due measures and responsibilities to

ensure that they also live a happy life’’, said a student. This campaign mainly

concentrated on the causes, its impact and solutions to the issue.
Students were all excited to make posters which would moreover create
awareness among others as well. The discussions and ideas were openly and

lively addressed to enhance the posters and the groups made wonderful and
many more colorful creations which would attract the prompt attention of
others
towards this issue.
Eventually the activity created awareness amongst students regarding the
marine conservation. Finally, students took oath to promote healthy and safe
ocean ecosystems and to help prevent things that threaten oceanic and human

life. Drop-Down day provided students with the ability to be equipped with

valuable life skills which extend beyond the classroom context, serving to
promote overall health and well-being. It concluded with a strategic

mission in creating an approach towards our marine friends and our
environment.
