At St.Lawrence High School and Junior College, the students learnt how leather is made and how it can be transformed into different objects, for example, clothing, shoes, bags, belts, furniture and soft furnishings. The Grade 1 Students were taught the complete leather making process. Leather is a strong, flexible and durable material obtained from tanning, or chemical treatment of animal skins and hides to prevent decay.

As leather is made from animal hide or skin, the students came up with different ways to reduce the use of leather in their lives, in order to safeguard animals. While learning the process step by step they imbibed the value to co-exist peacefully with other species on Earth because after all it is the home of all living beings.
