Rouxville Primary School recently had a series of exciting achievements highlighting the learners\u2019 creativity and commitment to environmental sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, following specialised training, teachers Evelyn Moodley and Keenan Daniels introduced a STEM (science, technology, mathematics) club at the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe managed to secure a R5 000 kit with equipment for science, technology, and mathematics \u2013 that included micro bits, games, microscopes, and games circuits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis initiative has sparked significant interest among our learners, encouraging them to explore these subjects in new and innovative ways,\u201d Moodley says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The learners\u2019 artistic talents shone through when the school entered the Cartoon Network Climate Champions competition, hosted by Disney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They created impressive artwork using recyclable toilet paper rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOut of 250 competing schools, we were thrilled to place in the top 10 nationally, winning R3 000.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moodley says they also submitted a project for a science competition with an environmental and climate change theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur entry \u2013 featuring Candy Park and gumball machines \u2013 was selected as one of the top 10 winners, earning another R3 000 for the school\u2019s science department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of Rouxville\u2019s ongoing commitment to sustainability, the school\u2019s garden entered into a weekly environmental competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This earned teacher Almar\u00e9 van Zyl and the school\u2019s Environmental Club R2 000 in goods from Builders Warehouse to use towards their efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moodley says the school received their prize payments in October. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more proud of our learners and their hard work.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These accomplishments demonstrate their creativity and problem-solving skills but also reinforce environmental consciousness in today\u2019s world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to continue this journey and look forward to even more success in the future,\u201d Moodley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She thanked the principal for allowing learners to participate in extracurricular activities that promote their holistic development and expose them to national platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also want to thank Cartoon Network and Disney for recognising our learners\u2019 skills and creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initiative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Cartoon Network their Climate Champions Schools Initiative is dedicated to empowering children aged 6 to 12 to tackle climate change head-on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 250 schools nationwide participated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Cartoon Network survey revealed that 94% of South African children are concerned about climate change, 95% want to take action, and 90% are eager to learn more. The initiative aims to turn these concerns into real-world impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weekly schools received resources on essential environmental topics such as recycling, energy conservation, plant life, plastic pollution, and e-waste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative provided facts, videos, quizzes, and challenges, enabling teachers to integrate climate education into their classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learners were enthusiastic participants, engaging in activities like rainwater harvesting, clothing recycling, and climate-focused presentations. Schools submitted their efforts for a chance to win eco-friendly prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rouxville Primary\u2019s junior learners constructed an impressive model of a bee using recycled materials, including toilet paper rolls, pipes, and plastic bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The senior learners\u2019 created mandala wall art using toilet paper rolls painted with beautiful vibrant colours for their project (Candy Park). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
