• Curriculum

Form 3: The curriculum includes several parts of the New Senior Secondary (NSS) curriculum: Cell and Molecules of life: cellular organization and Cellular energetics (metabolism, enzymes and enzymatic reactions); organisms and Environment: Essential life processes in animals (Nutrition in Human).
Form 4-6 (NSS 1-3): This curriculum aims at providing students with basic biological knowledge, as well as the basis in scientific investigation, nature of science and STSE.  The curriculum includes the advanced syllabus of cells and molecules of life, movement of substances across cell membrane, enzymes and metabolism; nutrition, gas exchange, transport, detection, coordination, support and movement, reproduction in human as well as in plants. Besides, the concept of ecology, basic and molecular genetics, evolution would also be included.
Form 7: This curriculum aims at providing students with respective biological knowledge, as well as the trainings on the skills for public examination. The curriculum includes nutrition; gaseous exchange and transport; sensitivity, response and coordination; support and movement; homeostasis; continuity of life, growth & development; health and diseases.

• Co-curricular activities

Several co-curricular activities such as field studies, site visits and Biology-related seminars and workshops will be organized for F.3 to F.7 students to arouse students’ interest in the subject matter. Internally, we will organize activities related to animal caring and environmental protection in order to raise students’ awareness to the society.
