Vision
A Community of Learners, Sharing the Joy of Inquiry Science.
Key Strategies
QtPS Science Teaching & Learning aims to nurture reflective learners by providing our students with engaging learning experiences that develop their process skills, habits of mind and attitudes for scientific inquiry. In the design of the learning experiences, students will be able to relate the role of Science in their daily life, society and the environment.
Our Science curriculum focuses on teaching and learning through inquiry via a variety of ICT tools, the use of toys as learning tools and experiential hands-on experiments. These opportunities are provided to stimulate curiosity in our students to become problem solvers that explore within and outside the confines of the classroom. They learn to collaborate in groups to formulate predictions, organise and interpret data, and communicate results while learning Science in a fun way.

Outdoor Learning
The school conducts outdoor learning which brings the students out of the class and textbooks. Outdoors and the wider community provide rich and authentic learning environments that allow students to learn and see Science in action.
