Green spaces are essential for human health and lengthen life expectancy. Unfortunately, green areas on the Maltese Islands are very limited.

In order to contribute towards this goal, the school is planting more trees and flowers. Furthermore, each class has its own green section where herbs, flowers and vegetables are cultivated.
