"Bio-Senses" has made the finals in the "Eco-Health and Well-Being" category, and the school is also represented in the "Eco-Innovation" category for "Plastic Greenhouse Fun".

Bio-Senses uses a sensory garden to raise awareness for those with autism, depression, ADHD and other issues, while Plastic Greenhouse Fun creates green-houses out of plastic in an effort to recycle plastics in a way that benefits the school community.

The YEA Ceremony will take place tomorrow at 2pm on ECO-UNESCO'S YouTube Channel.
