Abstract

This study aimed to determine the level of ecological awareness and practices of the internal stakeholders of San Roque Elementary School to serve as a foundation for developing a school-based greening program. The researcher used a survey questionnaire to collect and obtain information from 100 students, 30 parents, and 30 school personnel. Results revealed that the stakeholders are moderately aware of policies and environmental concepts but very aware of waste disposal and campaigning. They seldom practice recycling and planting trees but often practice segregation, recycling, reusing, reducing, disposing of, proper food consumption, water preservation, proper energy use, and vegetation. Additionally, after analyzing the result of the survey the researcher designed the school-based greening program, and it was perceived as effective by the respondents. It is suggested that the future researcher concentrate on recycling, planting trees, and disseminating knowledge about environmental policies and concepts in designing the school-based Greening Program.
