320 Students on board for ViA Programme on Sustainability

Type:

Value-in-Action (ViA) Programme

Dates:

26 Feb 2026 - 27 Apr 2026

Partners:

Victoria School

Engaging an entire school cohort in a meaningful Values-in-Action (VIA) programme is no small feat. Even more remarkable is when every student not only learns about sustainability, but also contributes to a real-world project that benefits the wider community. From February to May 2026, all Secondary 1 students at Victoria School embarked on a hands-on sustainability journey that transformed pre-loved school uniforms into opportunities for learning, creativity and community impact. The Circular Classroom was excited to partner with Victoria School on this unique programme, which introduced students to the Singapore Green Plan, circular economy principles and the importance of reducing textile waste. Using pre-loved school uniforms as a starting point, students gained a deeper understanding of how everyday actions can contribute to a more sustainable future. The programme began with the collection of old uniforms, encouraging students to view discarded materials not as waste, but as valuable resources with the potential for a second life. During the interactive sessions, students explored concepts such as circular economy, waste reduction and responsible consumption. Through guided activities, online tutorials and hands-on exercises, they learned simple fabric-cutting techniques and experienced how materials can be prepared for repurposing. The sessions also focused on experiential learning, combining sustainability education with teamwork, empathy-building and problem-solving through engaging games and challenges. Beyond the cohort-wide activities, a group of student leaders took their learning further by participating in a special intergenerational project with seniors from local Active Ageing Centres (THK Active Ageing Centre Cassia and Kaki Bukit).
