INNOVATION FROM WASTE COMPETITION

DGPS has always encouraged and aimed at creating
awareness on the importance of reducing waste and
contributing towards sustainability among students as well
as faculty members.

The enthusiastic students of Years 4-6 participated in the
Innovation from Waste competition organised by Dubai
Chamber of Commerce.

The contest encouraged students to make the most out of
waste materials, unused items and neglected objects to
produce works of art and thus promote environmental
awareness in the community. The judges from the Centre
visited the school on the morning of 20 November and
th
were very impressed and appreciative of the displays
created by the students.
