Our Water, Our Responsibility. Protect it. Respect it. Preserve it.

As part of Provo Water Company’s 15th Annual Drinking Water Week, we are inviting primary schools across the Turks and Caicos Islands to take part in our Water Smart School Challenge.

This two-week initiative is designed to help students build simple, lasting water-saving habits, both at school and at home. It’s practical, engaging, and a great way to bring students, teachers and families together around something that matters to all of us.

How it works

Schools take part over a two-week period, encouraging students to complete a series of easy water-saving actions. These can be done in the classroom, around the school, and at home.

Each school will:

• Track participation using a simple checklist
• Capture a few photos along the way
• Submit a short summary of what was achieved

What students will learn

• The value of water in everyday life
• How small actions can make a real difference
• The importance of protecting a shared resource

Prizes (School Challenge)

Prizes will be awarded to the top three schools to support their own water conservation projects:

1st Place: $500
2nd Place: $300
3rd Place: $200

Schools will be judged on participation, creativity and real impact.

Deadline

All submissions must be received by 18th May 2026 before 4:00 PM.

Entries should be delivered to the Provo Water Company office in Grace Bay (across from Club Med).

Winners will be announced on May 21, 2026 via Provo Water Company social media.

Judging Criteria

Schools will be evaluated based on:

• Participation – level of student involvement across the school or class
• Creativity – how the challenge was approached and presented
• Impact – evidence of real water-saving actions and awareness
• Engagement – enthusiasm shown by students and teachers
