One of the school’s policy is ‘Basura ko, Uwi ko’ and inside the classroom different garbage bins are labelled as ‘ Nakakalason’, ‘Nabubulok’, ‘Nareresiklo’and ‘Latak’.

One of the main goal of the school is to reduce the consumption of electricity. This is the main concern of the Green School Program and so the school sees to it that it strengthens its programs on indigenous and renewable energy resource development, energy efficiency and conservation not only to reduce its dependence on imported fuels for its energy need but also for sustainable development.
