The wall newspaper and poetry composition contest, aimed at protecting nature and endangered wildlife, attracted nearly 600 entries. This is one of the activities proposed by members of the Core team to protect the Pu Mat forest and members of Join Me to protect the Pu Mat forest as part of the Nature and Wildlife Conservation Education Program.
In order to join hands in protecting nature and wildlife, from April 1, 2024, to May 10, 2024, the core force at the school, including one member of the core team and five students from Club, proposed ideas for a conservation project at the school. The project aims to foster a love for nature and raise awareness of the important role of wildlife among teachers, students, and parents. Additionally, it seeks to increase local community participation in proposing, coordinating, and implementing conservation activities.
