SLL hosts secondary school students at NIE Rain Garden as part of Geography Curriculum

On 24 May 2023, Asst Prof Edward Park and Asst Prof Wang Jingyu from NIE hosted 25 students from the Singapore Chinese Girls School (SCGS) for a 1.5-hour field trip at the NIE Rain Garden. This place-based learning is part of the secondary school Geography curriculum. During the programme, the students immersed in hands-on field activities to broaden their perspectives towards sustainable water management via nature-based solutions. The Rain Garden is a low-impact development technology that works with nature to reduce storm run-off and localised flooding. It was co-built by PUB, AECOM, Greenearth Consultancy Limited and NIE to support sustainability pedagogy. Details of the water filtration process of the Rain Garden can be found here.
