Physics

Our Physics teachers are very experienced and always explore different strategies in teaching and helping students undertake the challenges of the Physics curriculum in the public examination. 

In order to stimulate students’ interest and motivation for learning, everyday contexts for deeper understanding and relevancy are introduced. Through the learning of Physics, students will acquire conceptual and procedural knowledge relevant to their daily lives. Apart from acquiring content knowledge, our curriculum also emphasizes and develops our students, so that they can integrate and apply their knowledge and skills in problem-solving and even design inventions with hands-on experience. Therefore, our teachers always provide different opportunities for senior forms students to organize and run STEM/Physics counters. Besides, students gifted in STEM/Physics are also selected and coached to join external STEM/Physics competitions.
