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!

Mini Wind Turbine Competition - Preliminaries









On the 18th of August, Mr. Chui Kiam Ming and Mr. Chris Yang led a group of students comprising Inez Celia (3E1), Wang Peiqi (3E1), Iskandar (3E4), Woo Li Han (2E3), and Jason Pang (1E1), to participate in the preliminary round of the Mini Wind Turbine Competition, organized as part of the Engineering and Science Challenge 2010. The competition is jointly organized by the 5 polytechnics, and more than 37 schools participated in the preliminaries. Our students spent many days after school has ended to create an innovative and original design for the wind turbine, while studying real wind turbines to see how they could make one for themselves.

The preliminaries were very exciting, and the students (and even the teachers) were taking the opportunity to learn from other teams as well. The results of the preliminary round was not announced on the spot, so the team had to be kept in anticipation until another week. However, we had confidence in our design, and hence the students were not fazed at all =)
