This research uses a qualitative descriptive type of research using observation interviews and documentation as data collection techniques from the school principal, 1 class IVA teacher, 28 class IVA students, and 2 cleaners at SDN 1 Kota Bengkulu. Data collected through the process of data collection, data compression, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity tests in this research include credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability tests. Research findings show that schools carry out activities such as (1) making eco bricks from dried plastic waste, (2) making eco enzymes from organic waste, and (3) crafts from plastic waste and used newspapers. The research results show that the Pancasila student implementation profile which focuses on creativity has the potential to increase students' creative abilities and student involvement in various creative activities. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for educators, school administrators, and policy makers to design effective strategies and policies in encouraging student creativity through the implementation of the Pancasila student profile.
