St. John International School always provides students with opportunities to learn through meaningful experiences. The Beach Clean-Up Drive was one such initiative for the students of Grade XII.
On 30th May 2026, 40 students (14 from XII Commerce and 26 from XII Science) and 3 staff members participated in a Beach Clean-Up Drive at Shirgaon Beach, Palghar. The students collected plastic bottles, flower garlands, snack wrappers, and other waste scattered along the shoreline. Approximately 18–20 bags of waste were collected and disposed of in designated waste bins.
The activity helped students understand the impact of human actions on the environment and encouraged them to adopt responsible practices for keeping public spaces clean. It was an enriching experience that promoted environmental awareness and social responsibility.
