Apart from having fun and applying key concepts in the topic on Rates of Reaction. The safe use of chemicals such as using secondary containment and safety spectacles; data recording in the chemistry report were discussed. This was part of bringing out the discipline required of students to do higher science. Readers of Chemistry will learn that the speed of reaction depends on five major factors. The examination questions base on this key concept are in fact easy to score. Student should understand in terms of molecular movement with respect to: 1. Temperature of the reaction mixture 2. The surface area of the reactants 3. The pressure of gaseous reactants 4. Presence of catalyst 5. Concentration of the reactants In this investigation, the students namely Syaqil, Faheem and Isaac (first left, middle and right) have charged equal volume of Vinegar

Dear readers, Passion in teaching and mentoring students does wonders in helping them to ace their exams. Along with the students' preserverance and commitment to exceling in their studies, they genuinely do very well in a short time. We are delighted to share with everyone that our graduates in the second batch of O Level Exam session have done well. Given the graduates have completed the One Year Fast Track O Level tuition program and they have achieved results being A*, A, B and C in English, Combined Science, Math, Business Studies and Bible Knowledge, as teachers and parents we are really proud of the achievements. The results did not come easy as a lot of extra lessons and hard work have been put in by the teachers and students, hard work and faith have really paid off :) Micheleine, who dropped in to share with everyone her O Level results. We wish her the very best for her further education in the States. Gratitudes come in many shapes and forms, here was a cake from Shaun
