COE for Innovations in Science

Mission / Objectives
The Centre of Excellence (COE) at Dunman focuses on Innovations in Science, and prides itself to lead in continuous improvements in the teaching and learning of Science with originality and creativity. Through its diverse programmes and activities for both students and teachers, the COE hopes to increase its outreach to more schools in the East Zone. By creating opportunities in the learning and teaching of Science beyond the classroom, the COE aims to inspire both students and teachers to cultivate the spirit of innovation in Science, so as to build a desired culture at the individual and school level.

Programmes and Activities
This year, there will be a range of programmes and activities offered by the COE that cater to both students and teachers in the subject area of Biology/ Life Science, Physics, Chemistry and Environmental Science. The workshops are categorized mainly under the following areas: students (scheduled date), students (flexible date), teachers and TSOs.
For Biology/ Life Science,
the Life Science Centre at Dunman continues to offer interesting Life Science
workshops for primary and secondary schools in the East Zone. The Centre also
supports schools to customize workshops for their teachers and students. East
Zone students and teachers can make use of the facilities in the Centre to
carry out Science research projects. Schools are also welcomed to use the
Centre to conduct lessons in Life Science as part of their science curriculum.
We have also started a new collaboration with AMGEN foundation and Science
Centre to offer Biotechnology workshop to create a more enriching experiences
for students in life Science applications.
For Chemistry, there will be a
one-day camp on Kitchen Chemistry for upper primary students to engage their
sensory and visual skills while they learn Chemistry in a fun and innovative
manner.
For Physics, the partnership
with Science Centre offers a series of workshops for teachers. CRADLΣ Physics
workshops conducted by Science Centre trainers will be hosted in Dunman, so
teachers in the East Zone can find greater convenience in travelling and enjoy
the opportunities of professional development. For the first time in Dunman,
there will also be workshop conducted for students by CRADLΣ. On top of this, there
will be a one-day camp on Junior Scientist for upper primary student to engage
their sensory and visual skills while they learn Physics in a fun and
innovative manner.
For all student programmes, there is provision of 100% or 50% subsidies for programme costs less than $10/student or more than $10/student respectively.
Details of the programmes offered in 2018 can be found here.
