About the department
Learning by discovery
We turn curiosity into understanding, one experiment at a time.
The Science Department is committed to excellence in science education, preparing students for careers in medicine, engineering, research, agriculture and technology.
Our inquiry-based approach encourages students to ask questions, design experiments and analyse data. With eight laboratories and experienced teachers, students gain the practical experience that brings textbook concepts to life.
