Integrated Science

 Curriculum Objectives

The Science (G7-9) curriculum provides science-related learning experiences that develop students’ interest in science and lay a foundation for their studies of various science curricula at the senior secondary level. It also focuses on the development of scientific literacy for living in and contributing towards a scientific and technological world.

The aims of the Science (G7-9) curriculum are to enable students to:

  • develop curiosity and interest in science;
  • acquire fundamental scientific knowledge and skills, and appreciate the relationship between science and other disciplines;
  • develop the ability to make scientific investigation and solve problems;
  • use the language of science to communicate science-related ideas;
  • develop a basic understanding of the nature of science;
  • develop the ability to integrate and apply scientific knowledge and skills with other related disciplines;
  • recognise the social, ethical, economic, environmental and technological implications of science, and develop an attitude of responsible citizenship and a commitment to promote personal and community health;
  • be prepared for further studies in STEAM-related disciplines; and
  • become lifelong learners in science for personal development.

(Biology)

An integrated curriculum is adopted in G9, which consists of Physics, Chemistry and Biology component. The integrated curriculum allows students to be more specialised in different fields of science. Students can have an overview of the NSS and IGCSE curricula, so as to make informed decisions on subject choice and prepare better for their further studies.

Talk from Scientist

It was our great honour to have Professor Lo Yuk Ming Dennis deliver a speech to our G7-G9 in the OLE period. In the talk, Professor Lo shared his journey from his dream to his career; how he was inspired. turned his findings to his research topic and how it is shared with the community. Our G7 - G9 students were inspired and actively participated in the Q&A session.
