The phrase \u201cJalan Jalan\u201d implies a sort of walkabout in the broader world. For four hours every Wednesday, high school<\/a> students take part in Kinitiative designed to provide space for longer-term engagement in projects with real impact in the world.<\/p>\r\n \u201cWhere does it go?\u201d is the theme for Year Nine students taking part in projects this term which all focus on waste and pollution.<\/p>\r\n At the moment the projects running are: looking at school transportation, with a focus on a possible bio-diesel bus; restoration of the Ayung River watershed; and reimagining the waste management process on campus, specifically through a redesign of the recycling and waste bins.<\/p>\r\n Parent mentors from the Green Team (a body of parents supporting sustainability projects within the school community) pitched their passion projects to the students, and won student volunteers. Students are now actively working with the parent mentors and faculty organizing team to move the projects forward, as equal partners in vision and execution.<\/p>\r\n
