Singapore, 30 September 2016 – Senoko Energy heartily congratulates Bukit View Secondary School (BVSS) for receiving the President’s Award for the Environment. BVSS is one of three winners to receive the award from President Tony Tan at the Istana earlier this week.
Mr Paul Maguire, President & CEO of Senoko Energy, said: “Our congratulations to all the teachers and students for winning this prestigious award. We are indeed happy that the school’s efforts to promote environmental awareness have been recognised with the highest environmental award in Singapore.”
In return, Mr Vasuthevan, BVSS’s principal, thanked Senoko Energy for being a partner through its continuous support in the school’s eco efforts. Mr Vasuthevan said: “We are really humbled and honoured to be given this award. To us, it is important that our students learn about energy and water conservation as part of their education. This will help them to know the importance of conservation and how it affects the environment. We are grateful to Senoko Energy for supporting our efforts”.
As a recipient of the same award in 2008, representatives from the management of Senoko Energy were present to witness the award ceremony at the Istana. Senoko Energy’s collaboration with BVSS can be traced back to 2005 when BVSS took part in Senoko’s National Weather Study Project (now called the Senoko Sustainability Challenge). Since then, BVSS and Senoko have been in regular contact to work together on bringing about greater learning for the schools’ students.
