Dear readers, Education in the world has evolved so much since the days when i was a student at CGSS in Singapore. Without a doubt, the single most dynamic tool that students today rely on is the internet rather than the textbooks and the library that i used to rely so much on. Nowadays, the time spent on the internet for learning in relation to studies is hard to gauge, as it all depends on the discipline of the student. In Honsbridge, teachers maximises the contact time with the students as learning is so much more than learning from the internet. During the teaching contact time, learning takes the students back to the very basic of being an independent learner. The students learn to take notes in good handwriting on their subject notebook, students learn to have time management in doing quiz and tests. Students learn to be disciplined by being focus and not checking on their mobile phones etc. Our teachers have engaged students of many talent in many exciting projects, experiment...

Dear readers, Recently on the 17 Feb, I had the chance to involve students in conducting their own chemistry experiments in the laboratory. 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.

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 ...

Dear one and all, In a short space of time since the new academic year has begun, students in the Fast Track O Level Tuition program have engaged in a dynamic learning curriculum to drive discipline and independent learning. Indeed, the students have worked hard. When the time has come to bring in the Year of the Rabbit, we have decided to organise the Chinese New Year celebration on the Jan 26 (Wed 13:00 - 15:30), 2011 with catered lunch followed by performances for students to recharge and rebond in Honsbridge. The celebration has brought together the support of many parents, students and teachers, without which, sweet success would not have been possible. Here is a special compilation of the celebration by Mr Dom for all of us during the CNY Prize Winnning Ceremony today. As teachers, we are delighted to see our students encouraging one another to out perform themselves each time, whose talents are only limited by themselves, like wise in their academic achievements. Students are e...

To all the parents, teachers and students, We are delighted to welcome back the returning teachers, students and the freshies of the Fast Track O Level Tuition Program and the Lower O Level Tuition Program . There are now many value added features in the Honsbridge learning curriculum in the new year. We trust that the additional subjects such as English Literature and Biology will complete the subjects available to all the students. We have also spear headed the Honsbridge Enrichment Classes, such as Music Appreciation classes proudly conducted by Mr Brian JohnYim and two sessions of PE weekly. Mandarin classes are also being introduced to all the students. The students have found the Enrichment classes an amazing way to learn and have fun with all the students. The Enrichment classes will serve as platforms to give the students an all-round learning curriculum. Bravo to all the teachers who have contributed to the success of the Enrichment Curriculum. Here are some of the h...
