Welcome

our vision & mission

to provide every hendersonian with a solid foundation in scientific concepts to aid lifelong learning.

to nurture individuals with enquiring minds, critical awareness and appreciation of the co-existence of man and the environment.

Announcements

Welcome to the Science Family!

During the 4 to 5 years in Henderson, our students go through a challenging and interesting Science curriculum, which is made up of the following disciplines - Biology, Chemistry and Physics. In the Lower Secondary levels, our students take General Science.

For students studying in:

The Express and Normal (Academic) streams
In Secondary One, the focus is on Physics and Biology topics. In Secondary Two, the focus is on Physics and Chemistry topics. In Upper Secondary level, students have a combination of choice within the three disciplines.

The Normal (Technical) streams
In Secondary One, the focus is on Physics and Chemistry topics. In Secondary Two, the focus is on Chemistry and Biology topics. In Secondary Three, the focus is on Physics Topics. In Secondary Four, the focus is on Chemistry and Biology topics.

Some of our approaches are:

Self-directed learning aided with information technology through inquiry-based learning and online learning programme, e.g. sciberdiver, modules involving usage of dataloggers

Enhanced Learning Experience through learning journeys and competitions.

Enjoy exploring!

Walk on Water Training 2010








It was a day of fun and laughter for the boys from 2E3, Chow Siang Yong and Stanley Sia, who were selected by Mr. Roland Tan to participate in this year's Walk-on-Water competition. Together with Clinston Wang Kuan Jie, the boys will be competing on the 27th of June, during the 2010 Singapore International Water Festival, which will be held at Marina Barrage.

The boys put in a lot of effort to learn how to apply Physics principles to the sport, like squatting down to keep their centres of gravity low when they are falling, and to avoid wasting energy in lifting the water shoes out of the water due to the surface tension of the liquid, but to slide the shoes on the water surface instead. It was a very innovative way for the students to learn about science in the wet way!
