Campus notes: Dealing with waste in creative way
Exhibiting their creative skills to inspirit the idea of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, students of the pre-primary wing of Spring Dale Senior School proffered a creative way of dealing with waste material and de-cluttering their city and surroundings. The occasion was the annual art exhibition – “Innovatus”. Sahiljit Singh Sandhu said these young artists with help of their teachers of the ‘Creative Arts’ department of the school turned the school entrance and walkways into an art gallery, displaying the exhibits made entirely out of the recycled material obtained from the school stores. This year’s exhibition’s theme being “Healthy Food”, all the exhibits showcased, were the models of the healthy food options available in form of fruits, vegetables and home cooked food items, as a true depiction of the theme.
