The Science department joined the scheme of “Green Living Starter” which is held by the La Violet education. 15 S2 students in the Science Enrichment Class participated in this programme. Through the programme, students have learnt how to put the concept of green living in practice. Combining the design thinking concept and technology, students designed suitable proposal to conserve energy and keep a green living style.
Students working on their own model prototypes
Our alumni, Adans Ko conducted a talk with title “Mars Rover Curiosity from the beginning to Now” to our S4 Physics students. 39 S4D students attended the talk and they raised a lot of questions concerning the topic.
Students show great interest in the content of the talk on Mar Exploration
