On Wednesday 9th November we welcomed two auditors from Green Growth Asia Foundation, here to assess our Green Flag Award application submitted last year by Ms Davies. The wonderful news received this week of our\u00a0successful application\u00a0is really down to the students they met on that day and those who have been working hard for many years in and outside of Eco Warrior meetings to move KIS in a more sustainable direction. We would like to say a huge well done and thank you to\u00a0all\u00a0past and present Eco Warriors and particularly to Kayla Khoh, Serene Chia, Sophia Chua and Andi Andellia from the Primary Eco Warriors who presented to the visitors and to Tiggi Mornington-Sandford, Hannah Hammer, Sabrina Maichel, Isabelle Clifford, Fion Ho, Ada Pian and Grace Lee from Secondary who confidently shared the projects they are passionate about and have been working on in school. They were a credit to KIS and the visitors were full of praise for our young leaders in the quest for a truly sustainable school!<\/div>\n
