“The Australian school is an environment-friendly school where students prepare plant food and fertilizers as well as plant trees inside the school that yields fruits and vegetables. They also conduct programs to reduce the use of plastics,”

“Our target is to take the school (Roxburgh Rise Primary) as an example in planning and carrying out activities,” said Zubair.
