FAQ

What are the key features of a ‘Green School’?
A Green School segregates and composts waste, saves water and harvests rainwater, uses natural light and electricity carefully, plants native trees and gardens for biodiversity, and maintains a clean, safe and inclusive campus.

Why does a room under the shade of a tree or with a white-painted roof stay cooler in summer?
Tree canopies block direct sunlight and cool the air through transpiration, while a white roof reflects sunlight instead of absorbing heat.
