Honsbridge Inauguration O Level Science Enrichment Presentation Day
It gives me great pleasure to welcome all my beloved students, supportive teachers and parents to the inauguration of the Honsbridge Science Enrichment Presentation 2011. In Honsbridge, aside from delivering quality O Level tuition, we hold high regards for the extra-curricular activities that we offer to students. Through the Science Enrichment curriculum, it is Honsbridge’s commitment to develop students for the love of science, the joy and benefit of learning science for the 21st century, the knowledge century.
I wish to give thanks to the Science Enrichment Teacher in- Charge, Mrs Dana for mentoring the students and making this special event possible for the first time. Mrs Dana has played an important role in promoting the learning of science through Science experiments and presentation. Also to thank Mr Dominic for steering the students to complete the Science projects where needed. I will also like to thank all the parents for your interest and commitment to the youth of tomorrow. You have given our young an opportunity to develop their interest and potential in the exciting field of Science.
In this society and age, no discipline is as important as science. I like to believe so not just because I hold a Masters in Science from the Uni of Liverpool. But science and technology play crucial roles in the social and economic development of a country. For instance, there are many medical treatments of breast cancer due to breakthrough of science and technology that will give hopes to stay alive. For me, I have had the honour to be part of a dynamic R & D team in GSK to develop drug in the laboratory to production in a factory plant, in order to carry out clinical trials for the efficacy of the drug back in 2008. To all of us, what is even more important is that learning science will help us find answers in response to our changing human needs, for instance finding viable alternatives to the depleting reserves of crude oil.
Later on, we shall enjoy a variety of science presentations which are factual and ones that create theories based on experiments. We will see the culmination of hard work and courage that the students have to make the presentation possible for us. It is my honour to pass on the best wishes to all the students who have contributed to the success of the Honsbridge Science Enrichment Presentation 2011. Winning a science presentation competition is something to a great achievement, but more than anything else, as long as you have given the best to prepare for the Science Presentation and where learning experiences have occurred, you are all winners! Your exhibits exist, your experience has been learnt and you have gained exposure that not many have. You would also have learnt something about yourself; how well you can find and fix problems; how well you receive advice and lastly how to work as a team.
Today, I am proud to celebrate the success of your exceptional learning experiences in the Science Enrichment Curriculum proudly organised by Honsbridge. Congratulations in advanced to all students, you are all winners in my opinion for trying and experimenting.
I wish to see many more budding scientists in Honsbridge Science Presentation 2012. Please remember to nominate the presentation that you believe is the best. Cheers everyone!
If you think this post will inspire students to love science and its endless possibilities, please feel free to share the post with your friends. Thank you.
