VICTORIA, Seychelles — Baie Ste Anne school took another meaningful step toward environmental sustainability last week through a collaborative effort with the Seychelles Centennial Women Lions Club and the MJF Lions Club. The event brought together students, educators, and Lions Club members for a tree-planting activity, along with the presentation of a special donation to support the school’s thriving greenhouse project.
The greenhouse, originally donated to Baie Ste Anne school in 2020 by the Seychelles Centennial Women Lions Club (SCWLC), continues to be a hands-on agricultural learning space for students. Last week, SCWLC and the MJF Lions Club donated chicken wire to support the maintenance and protection of the greenhouse. The chicken wire will enhance the structure’s safety and support its continued success as a teaching tool for sustainability, gardening, and environmental responsibility.
Speaking at the ceremony, representatives from the Lions clubs emphasised their continued commitment to supporting youth development and environmental education. The event also featured a symbolic tree-planting ceremony on the school grounds, where a coconut tree was planted in honour of the late Mariam Kante, a beloved and dedicated member of the SCWLC. The tree now stands as a living memorial to her legacy. School officials expressed heartfelt appreciation for the ongoing partnership, noting that the greenhouse continues to inspire students’ interest in agriculture and nature-based learning.
