INTRODUCTION
Science is one of the strengths of the school. It is taught by enthusiastic and experienced teachers who are all experts in their field. Scientists ask BIG questions - What is the world made of? How do our bodies work? Why do things move? As you study science here you will begin to find answers to these sort of questions. You will learn by doing experiments and investigations and watching spectacular demonstrations. Not only an exciting challenge, you will also discover some amazing things.
