Eco-Outreach in School

Mayflower Secondary is honoured to continue the partnership with Cicada Tree Eco Place (CTEP) in 2009.

The first event that was held in partnership was CTEP was the Eco-Outreach held on 9th January 2009, during the CCA exhibition for the Secondary One Orientation.

Cicada Tree Eco Place set up two exhibitions to share with the students and parents about Eco-living in school and at home.

These were the familiar YEGs who has helped to promote Shoo Mozzie since 2008 at the Singapore Garden Festival.


Being in the YEGs allow our students to have opportunities to practise their salesmanship skills.

A new group of YEGs set up the exhibition at about 12.30 p.m.

The container that is used to hold the lemon grass is made of cane and is recycleable.


Banana leaf was used as table cloth instead of the normal plastic one to demonstrate that it is possible to be organic when a little more effort is put in.

The YEG will be promoting the Love Earth Gift Pack on Valentine's Day.
