Let's Race

In our efforts to galvanise Regenites towards becoming socially responsible stewards of the environment, our school embarked on a 5-week journey to empower students to “Reduce our Air pollution and Carbon Emissions” (RACE). This is especially relevant as climate change continues to be a pervasive issue that requires our attention.

Our journey towards achieving a more sustainable lifestyle started with our dedicated Environment Champions passionately raising awareness among their fellow peers on the detrimental effects that climate change has on the planet and how human actions are escalating its effects. Our Champions advocated for a greener lifestyle through everyday actions that Regenites can take at home and in school to reduce their carbon footprint, which included simple actions like walking.

At the same time, Regenites were introduced to “The Stridy Challenge”, which involves the use of the “STRIDY” mobile application to record the number of litter items collected and walking distance covered. Through the usage of the STRIDY application, Regenites were not only able to catalogue the different types of litter collected (e.g. cigarette buds, cans, plastic bottles, tissue paper), but also acquired insights into the collective positive impact that their classmates, schoolmates, and even Singaporeans are leaving on the environment, one piece of litter at a time. 

To create a healthy level of competition within the respective levels, classes were encouraged to catalogue their litter items and walking distance over a span of five weeks to clinch 2 coveted titles. “The Litter Heroes” was awarded to the class that recorded the highest number of litter items picked, and “The Regent Walkers” was awarded to the class that recorded the longest walking distance covered. Congratulations to all the classes on their wonderful efforts to make a difference to our environment.
