Our students shine as Eco-friendly heroes on World Cleanup day.
“Cleanliness is not just a habit, it is a reflection of our responsibility towards the planet we call home.”
On September 20, 2025, the students of Beaconhouse School System Gulshan Campus joyfully celebrated World Cleanup Day at Jamshed Ansari Park. With great enthusiasm and team spirit, students from Grades 6 to 8 came together to make a meaningful difference in their community.
The event was a vibrant reflection of Beaconhouse’s mission towards sustainable development and environmental stewardship, as students actively participated in cleaning the park, collecting litter, and spreading awareness about the importance of keeping our surroundings clean and green. Through this initiative, our young learners took a step towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — particularly Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and Goal 13 (Climate Action). Teachers guided the students in understanding how small acts of care can lead to long-term environmental impact. Discussions on waste management, recycling, and eco-friendly habits helped instill values of responsibility and sustainability in their everyday lives.
This engaging activity was not only about cleanliness; it was a celebration of community spirit, civic engagement, and global citizenship. The smiles, teamwork, and sense of purpose shown by our students truly embodied the Beaconhouse vision of nurturing responsible, conscious, and active global citizens who care deeply for their environment.
The day concluded with reflections and a renewed pledge to keep our world cleaner, greener, and better for generations to come. As it is rightly said,
“When you clean up the Earth, you clean up your soul.”
