As students at Greenfield Community School, a Taaleem School, become more aware  of their environment, and actively get involved in trying to reduce their carbon footprint, the Grade 6-10 students look on in amazement as their new building comes to life. The building of phase 2 of Greenfield Community School started in December 2009, after students participated in the Ground Breaking Ceremony and placing of the Time Capsule. The design of the new building will allow natural light to flow into the classrooms and communal areas, thereby creating a more natural learning environment and reducing the need to use lights. This design will aid in helping the school reduce their energy consumption and the carbon footprint of its students. Students will have the opportunity to learn about plants in a green house, and tend to a rooftop garden, thereby becoming more aware of global warming and how plants can help reduce our carbon footprint. Parents at GCS were excited to be given the opportunity to view the progress of phase 2, on Thursday 20 May at 12:00 when they were taken on a guided tour around the inside of the new facilities.
