One of Leuser Nature School's mottos is “One student, one tree,” which means each student has to plant one tree near the beginning of their time at the school and remain responsible for the tree during the rest of their time there.
In previous years, the teachershave demonstrated how to plant the trees, covering everything from preparing seedlings to planting them out and maintaining them as they grow. In November 2020, for the first time, the school's senior pupils (grade 9) were given responsibility for guiding the grade 7 students to plant their trees in their second month at the school.
The grade 9 students helped the grade 7 students prepare and plant their trees, and also showed them how to document the process and keep records to enable them to monitor how well their trees grow - all part of the school's drive to build leadership and responsibility through practical activities.
The trees have now been in the ground for over a month and are growing steadily alongside the school community. Thank you for supporting this work - we hope it inspires as much hope in you as it does in us.
