Billabong High School Noida

Posted by Billabong High International School Noida on January 17th, 2020

We, at Billabong, truly believe in developing a green and sustainable school campus. Keeping in mind our motto, we have successfully been able to develop an energy efficient school campus which is running on a 200 kV solar panel grid. The school completely runs on solar energy during the winter season and has cut down the dependency on fossil fuels to a great extent. The school is equipped with approximately 70 solar panels to meet the electricity requirements. Also, it helps in minimising the ill effects of air pollution and global warming. 60% of the total annual energy consumption is offset through installation of renewable energy sources onsite.

The infrastructure of the school is designed in such a manner that all the classrooms and corridors are well lit. Also the fans, internal lighting and ACs used in all the classrooms are minimum BEE 3 star rated and LED lights are used in the school for minimal voltage consumption.

To reduce Carbon dioxide emissions from Transport to-and –fro from school premises, CNG buses are used. After every 6 months service of the vehicles are done to ensure the smooth running. Also, after every 3 months pollution check for the buses is done.

Now, let us have a glimpse on the activities under the category of WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

As a part of proper water resource management, our school has installed three rainwater recharge pits with a capacity of 30000 L. The rainwater gradually seeps down the surface and helps in the recharging and replenishment of the groundwater resources. As a whole, we at BHIS, Noida pledge towards making our environment a better, cleaner and healthier place to live in.

Now, let us have a look on the category of WELL-BEING AND SOCIAL ASPECTS

We, at Billabong High School Noida, truly believe in sensitizing learners towards maintaining healthy life style for which workshops are conducted on a regular basis.

We at BHIS, Noida have a nutritionist who on daily basis monitors the menu of the food to be served to the students as nutritional status directly affects mental capacity among school students. Also, it can influence the cognitive ability and intelligence levels of students. We have also built Barrier- free environment for the persons with disabilities and elderly persons like ramps, lifts and washrooms, ”

Also, environmental awareness amongst students and staff is promoted in the school by conducting campaigns and audits.

On a whole, the school strives to make its student an eco saviour, who works for the management and development of his/her environment and works towards the sustainability of the mother Earth.

We are the first schools in Delhi NCR region to get equipped with the Aerobin waste management facility.
