Venue: Bhagya Lakshmi Farm
Programme Type: Full-Day Sustainability Field Investigation
Age Group: 14–15 years
Duration: Full Academic Day
Core Lens: Interdependence • Resource Management • Sustainability • Ethical Stewardship
This Stage 9 field investigation examines how human survival depends on responsible management of natural systems and resources.
Using Bhagya Lakshmi Farm as a live sustainability model, students analyse:
Agricultural input–output systems
Biodiversity and ecosystem balance
Animal welfare and ethical responsibility
Waste-to-energy innovation
Water stewardship and future farming models
Inquiry progression:
Systems Mapping → Resource Flow Analysis → Impact Evaluation → Ethical Judgement → Action Planning
The focus is analytical and evidence-driven, aligned to Stage 9 expectations of systems thinking and evaluative reasoning.
