Science
The Science Program is designed around a ‘Three-dimensional approach’ to learning science. We nurture a fascination with the natural world, guiding students to explore scientific principles and phenomena. The curriculum focuses on developing a deeper understanding of science concepts, encouraging active, hands-on learning, applying concepts to solve real-world problems, and integrating science and engineering design principles and processes.
Learning Area Purpose
The Science Program equips learners to
- Develop a love of exploration and scientific questioning, leading to a richer understanding of science.
- Engage in hands-on activities to grasp the dynamic nature of science.
- Develop interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration skills to equip students to solve real-world problems.

Key Learning Experiences
Three-Dimensional Learning Approach
Our Science Program follows a three-dimensional learning approach, integrating Science and Engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, and core disciplinary ideas.
Usage of Science Kits
Our Science Program uses specially designed ‘Science Kits’ to promote active engagement and hands-on learning. Students gain practical experience through experimentation and observation within the Science classroom.
Science Through Stories
In our Primary Science program, students explore engaging fiction and non-fiction stories. This helps them grasp scientific concepts and their real-world applications, while also learning about the behaviours and attitudes of scientists.
Well-Equipped Science Lab
Our well-equipped Science Labs provide students with hands-on, engaging experiences that bring science learning to life. This deepens understanding, sparks curiosity, and encourages a lifelong fascination with science.
