Recently, we held a fundraiser called the "Garden Drive" to raise funds to plant Central's new community garden!  Games, crafts and healthy snacks were provided for students while adults talked over coffee and refreshments.  We'll be holding a "Planting Day" on Wednesday, so more pictures to come!  View more photos from the "Garden Drive" (including photos of the raised beds) after the jump...

Where is the Greenest School? Bali, Indonesia

Via CNN

The Green School in Bali, Indonesia is a radical international school.  Made from bamboo and cooled using the wind, the school is a model of sustainability. The school harnesses the power of the sun and the nearby river to supply electricity. In the school farm, students learn how to grow rice and vegetables.  Food from the farm is used to prepare the daily, local lunch.  Students from 17 countries, including children from Bali, attend the school.  Courses are taught using a "learning by doing" method.  The focus of the curriculum is on working together and teaching eco-friendly practices.  This may be an extreme learning environment, but perhaps we can apply some of these ideas here in BC.
