     Thirty-five secondary schools, primary schools and kindergartens were commended today (May 20) at the prize presentation ceremony of the Greening School Project Award organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) in recognition of their meritorious green school projects and contributions to environmental greening.

     To enhance students' interest in and knowledge of greening, the LCSD's Greening School Subsidy Scheme provides subsidies to schools to organise more greening activities and encourage students to plant more trees and shrubs on campuses.

     Speaking at the prize presentation ceremony, the Chief Leisure Manager (Green Campaign) of the LCSD, Ms Wendy Or, said the Greening School Subsidy Scheme has been well received by teachers and students since its launch in 2000, with the number of participating schools increasing from around 300 in the first year to nearly 900 this year.

     Ms Or added that the standard of green projects has been rising. Both teachers and students have worked very hard to make their schools' environments greener and more beautiful.
