Science

The Science Department is dedicated to sparking curiosity and developing scientific literacy in every child. Our curriculum is designed to nurture students as inquirers who can make sense of the world around them through the lens of science. Our engaging learning experiences develop not only conceptual understanding and process skills but also strengthen students’ ability to apply scientific knowledge to real-life situations in responsible and ethical ways. Through hands-on investigations, Science outdoor learning, and our signature LLP in Environmental Education, students learn to ask questions, explore ideas, and think critically about global and local issues. Emphasising the development of values such as responsibility, curiosity and integrity, our science curriculum seeks to inspire a lifelong interest in science while equipping students with the competencies needed to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

Three photos capture hands-on experiments. On the left, students sit at a desk closely examining a plant sample and taking notes. In the center, three students lean in together to observe a chemical reaction inside a glass test tube. On the right, a boy uses a dropper to carefully mix liquids, producing a glowing blue reaction under UV light.

Three photos highlight interactive science exhibits. On the left, students gather around a handler during a "Visiting the Bug City" showcase. In the center, three students look at a large informational board titled "Animals in Our City." On the right, a girl leans over a shallow touch tank at the S.E.A. Aquarium to gently reach for a starfish.
