Primary school pupils win top prize in environmental competition with their role-playing game

SINGAPORE - The year is 2100 and rising sea levels have forced Singaporeans to live atop a floating city.

The team of 11 pupils emerged joint first-prize winners in the Green Wave Environmental Care Competition in the primary school category, along with pupils from Westwood Primary School. Other winners included pupils from Yishun Primary School, who turned sugar cane pulp into useful biodegradable products such as flower pots, and students from Anglican High School, who used shrimp shells to come up with bio-plastic packaging as well as fertiliser.

"Competitions like Green Wave have provided them an opportunity to identify real life problems, work in teams, undertake research and come up with practical solutions."
