INSTEP Promotes Sustainability Agenda among Primary School Students

Posted date: 06 December 2022

Nearing the year end does not deter INSTEP’s spirit to promote sustainability agenda, by conducting the second part of the signature CSR programme Sentuhan Edu-Lestari. The half-day programme is the continuation of the first session where 160 students participated in planting 80 mango trees (Harumanis) at INSTEP compound.

The Sentuhan Edu-Lestari Programme is conducted as a part of fulfilling the PETRONAS sustainability aspiration through the key areas of high-impact Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programmes. The programme took up two days from 23-24 November 2022, involving 160 participants from eight schools from the districts of Kuala Nerus and Setiu, Terengganu.

The programme included a session of interactive engagement with the students. A sharing on “Waste Classification” with fun games and activities throughout the session were prepared for the students. Enthusiastic and high-spirited cheers filled up the room during the session, with the students’ eagerness to answer questions and share their thoughts on the sustainability concepts.

INSTEP Chief Executive Officer, En. Idris bin Ibrahim enthusiastically delivered his welcoming remarks during the event.

INSTEP Chief Executive Officer, En. Idris bin Ibrahim in his speech during the event highlighted the importance of instilling the interest of being an active player in taking care of the nature from the young age. “I am very optimistic that this programme will spark your interest in giving a hand for nurturing the nature, and I hope you will continue to play your part in carrying out the sustainable practices in our daily lives”.

Taking it down a notch from the outdoor mango tree planting, in this session, the students were given chance to grow green beans in a used container, which aligned with the topic of “Waste Classification and Sustainability”. The students were asked to bring their own container from home, which called for their awareness on the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) concept.

The students actively participated in various activities during the session.

En. Idris bin Ibrahim also emphasised on the sustainability concept in his speech. “Sustainability is a continuous thing. Though we are doing it now, but the result is yet to come, the benefits will come into the picture later”.

The students came forward to share their thoughts on the activities and new knowledge gained from the session.

During the students’ sharing session, Husain Hilmi bin Mat Atar, a student from SK Bukit Wan mentioned about the essence of 3R. “If I were given a chance to make a change, I would like to add more bins according to the waste classifications, in order to have a cleaner school area.”

In addition, Nurul Hajar Nadiah binti Ramzi from SK Maras shared about the new knowledge she gained by participating in this event. “By coming to today’s session, I learnt a lot of new things, such as e-wastes, organic waste and sanitary waste”.

The students expressed their creativities through their artworks during the sharing session.
