Beatty Secondary School: Repurposing Workshops with Students, PSG and the Community April 2026

We were happy to collaborate with Bukit Timah Primary School on two engaging sustainability programmes, generously supported by the school's corporate partner organisation EPSON. In our first session, 30 Primary 5 students and EPSON staff members rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on workshop and transformed pre-loved school uniforms into a large Merlion artwork. As they cut, arranged and pieced together fabric scraps, conversations naturally flowed about textile waste, reuse and how everyday items can be given a second life. At a separate morning assembly, we spoke to over 1,000 students about waste reduction and sustainable consumption. Through interactive quizzes and sustainability challenges - with prizes at each level - students reflected on how small actions can make a meaningful difference. During recess after the assembly, the Epson team joined us to host a lively uniform exhibition and sustainability games. Students built tangrams from uniform scraps, estimated the number of buttons collected from donated uniforms, and turned textile recycling into a fun and memorable learning experience. Together, these sessions combined creativity, education and play and empowered students to see sustainability not as a concept, but as something they can practise every day.
