Dear parents and students, It is time of sharing the sweet success that we have had with our students over the course of time. Coaching students and monitoring students' progress are two complimentary strategies towards academic success. Coaching and monitoring is what we achieve for the students at Honsbridge. It is like a continuous cycle as students are expected to turn in their assignments on time. Punctuality for lessons is also stressed upon the students so much that penalty exists for a reason. A day in day out routine for all of us. We thank our dedicated teachers for their passion and our enthusiastic students for their valuable feedback and for contributing so well in their lessons. Academic progress feedback We emphasises on personal achievements of our students as regular meetings with parents and students are held every term. It is our pride when we receive strong feedback from students that they have learnt a lot on English, Chemistry, Physics, M...

Tree Planting-An Extraordinary Green Affair

Hello all, Together with the parents and students @ Honsbridge, we are making a difference by making regular contribution to the Forest Care fund, the fund goes to support the tree seedling and planting projects. On the early morning of 24 Sat, Sat. Along with our students & teachers, some 500 volunteers gathered at the Raja Musa Peat Swamp Forest to plant trees in conjunction of the Earth Day. We started the day with breakfast at the Kayu Restaurant that is nearby Honsbridge, before we set off in our cars to the forest. The journey didn't take very long as we arrived to see many cars and buses parked just outside the forest. The spirit of tree huggers was immense as we saw hundreds of people clad in boots, hats, gloves and garden tools. The hundreds of tree huggers were like season tree planters and we felt great to be part of the worthy cause. But we didn't expect to get as wet as what was to come. The FUN has begun!!! Join us next time! Emma, Dominic, Joshua, Shahmeer a...

Chemistry Volcano Experiment

Hello All, Just before the first term of the year ended on 29 Mar, i gave the class a chemistry experiment to prepare for the last lesson. As with all experiments, the students learnt to write a report and along with it have a lot of fun setting up the experiments. Title: My Volcano Experiment Aim: To study the rate of reactions Equipments: As seen in the photos Procedure: Basically, we kept everything constant and we varied the temperature of the vinegar. We used a fixed quantity of hot, ice cold and ambient vinegar. We used the hair dryer to warm up the vinegar; we used an ice /salt bath to cool the vinegar down to below zero. Conclusion: The rate of reaction between hot vinegar and sodium carbonate was the fastest, followed by ambient vinegar and cold vinegar. This is because, molecules at high temperature have high kinetic energy that will collide more frequently and at greater speed to produce effective reation. Here are some amazing photos that the students have taken. I hope ...
