The End of our Recycling Campaign

Our Recycling Campaign for year 2009 has come to an official end!

We thank all CHS-ians for your support -- and are particularly impressed by classes who have managed to bring above a hundred kilograms of old newspapers! Without the contribution of every student and the heart to go green, this campaign would not be as successful as it is.

To those classes who have made huge contributions, your effort will not go down the drain, because you guys will be well rewarded :)

The habit of recycling our old newspapers should be practiced often, and not only during the duration of our campaign. We hope that this campaign has succeeded in instilling environmental values in you and bringing awareness concerning recycling issues to all of you in CHS.

Be prepared to beat your current record when we host this campaign once again next year! We look forward to seeing all CHS-ians work together for the sake of Mother Nature once more!

:D

Take good care of nature, and you'll bask in its fruit!

LAS Trip 2009

All right, people! We will be having our LAS Trip again.

To those who have missed out on the fun last year, you can join us this year!

We promise you guys plenty of fun and games -- ALL UNDER RM100 !!

Date: 3/7/2009 - 5/7/2009 (Friday to Sunday)

Venue: Lembah Pangsun, Ulu Selangor
(less than an hour's drive from here)

Time: 2.30pm (3/7) - 4.30pm (5/7)

Here are the list of activities that will be carried out:

• Water Rafting
• Obstacle Course

• Paintball (cancelled because it could add another RM50 to your total expenses)
• More to come...

Please do remember to pay your deposit of RM50 to our dearest president, Yee Hui Sin of 5P3. It is most important that you reserve a place for yourself and it will also give the organizing committee a guideline on the activities that can be carried out with the number of people participating.

For those who have had bad experiences of living in tents (especially damp ones!), fear not, for we will be lodging in a hostel for the duration of this trip.

The afternoon session will have to miss a day of school, which is on Friday -- it is up to yourselves to decide whether it is a good thing or not ;)


We'll keep you guys updated! Do remember to check

Earth Day

Earth Day falls on the 22nd of April annually. This modern environmental movement was celebrated since 1970, and was founded by Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator then from Wisconsin. He proposed the first nationwide environmental protest "to shake up the political establishment and force this issue onto the national agenda. " "It was a gamble," he recalls, "but it worked."

On April 22, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment. Denis Hayes, the national coordinator, and his youthful staff organized massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.

Thus, Earth Day united people who were fighting valiantly for the survival of Earth and our future generation, and is still an even celebrated annually till today.
