Enrichment Programmes
Sec 2 Science Busking
Each year, our students have the opportunity to take part in Science Buskers, an annual competition organised by A*STAR and Science Centre Singapore. As a hands-on, interactive way of learning and sharing about Science, Science Busking sees students applying scientific concepts learnt to real-world situations and showcasing their ideas through skillful, live demonstrations using everyday objects. It is here that Science comes alive for our students, who experience first-hand just how powerful the subject is in undergirding all aspects of life!
Science Learning Journeys
Science Learning Journeys is a series of activities to enthuse our students to learn science beyond our classroom. It includes short workshops which allow them to apply what they have learnt in classroom to real world context. There are also research work which requires them to collect data for their experiment during School Holidays.

Conversational Chinese and Malay Language (CCM) Programme
Conversational Chinese and Malay Language (CCM) Programme aims to strengthen Singapore’s multiracial identity and expose students to a third language. Students will have an elementary understanding of a different mother tongue language and have the opportunity to explore cultural aspects of a particular ethnic group. Being able to communicate with others in a different mother tongue language will enable students to expand their cultural consciousness beyond their individual ethnic groups. At the end of the programme, students will be equipped with basic conversational skills to enable them to interact with native speakers confidently.
