Pui Va Middle School and Pui Ching Middle School have been given awards by Macau’s Office for the Development of the Energy Sector (GDSE) for being “model schools” in terms of energy conservation. The two local schools were ranked best in the Secondary and Primary Education categories respectively, for the “Model School of Conservation Energy Award”, following several months of educational activities on energy conservation.
This year, 38 primary and secondary schools participated in the “Energy Conservation Culture Activities in Schools”. The activities have been held annually since 2008 and are intended to encourage teachers and students to put energy conservation into practice in a variety of ways and to create an energy conservation environment and culture on the school campus.
Activities begin annually in March and during the three-month competition period, schools organize activities according to their own interests. They can include exercises in energy management or the improvement of facilities and energy education.
In addition to recognizing schools for their overall performance, the event also awards individuals, groups or school sections that have distinguished themselves for their outstanding performance in specific projects. The detailed list of winners can be found on the GDSE’s website.
At the end of October, the GDSE will hold an Award Ceremony and an “experience sharing session” for teachers and students of different schools to share their achievements in energy conservation. DB
