Vision
Curious Minds, Custodians of the Environment

Mission
We are committed to instilling in every child a passion for Science, a sense of wonder and curiosity about their surroundings and developing pupils who possess the right attitude towards our environment.

Teaching of Science Process Skills

The rationale of this programme is to expose and teach the pupils the vocabulary and the answering techniques used in tackling process skill questions. At the end of P6, pupils would be equipped with all the necessary science process skills.
