Discover how our students explore science through hands-on STEM challenges and national competitions. See the achievements they have earned in biology, physics, chemistry, and more.
STEM Endeavors
STEM Playground Challenge organized by CPDD, Science Centre and The James Dyson Foundation
Organised by the James Dyson Foundation, Science Centre Singapore and the Ministry of Education (CPDD). The aim of the STEM challenges is to encourage and develop students’ interest, curiosity, and creativity. To enable this, opportunities were created for all students to participate in the challenge during curriculum time. As students immerse in the world of discovery, they demonstrated their creativity and critical thinking while igniting a passion for scientific exploration. Students had the chance to turn everyday things into extraordinary creations. They got to experiment with their ideas to continually enhance them, which is the spirit and essence of STEM!
Our school clinched 1st place at the national level in both 2025 STEM Playground Challenge 1 & 2. This exciting initiative inspires students to tackle real-world problems through creative, hands-on STEM exploration.
In Challenge 1, “A pH-antom Ship!”, participants designed boats made from recycled bottles, powered by chemical reactions — blending chemistry, physics, and design in one thrilling task. Challenge 2, “Slow Descent Helicopter!”, pushed teams to craft a paper-and-paperclip helicopter that glides gracefully from the second storey, testing their grasp of gravity and engineering.
Both challenges celebrated creativity, teamwork, and innovation, showing how curiosity and STEM concepts can come alive through fun, accessible, and sustainable materials.

Enrichment Activities
Our students were offered opportunities to take part in many external competitions to stretch their abilities.
Singapore Junior Biology Olympiad (SJBO) 2025
The Singapore Junior Biology Olympiad (SJBO) 2025 is a prestigious national competition that invites secondary school students to push their limits and explore the wonders of biology beyond the classroom. Through thought-provoking problem-solving and inquiry-based activities, students sharpen their analytical skills and uncover how biology connects to real-world challenges.
Singapore Junior Physics Olympiad (SJPO) 2025
The Singapore Junior Physics Olympiad (SJPO) is a prestigious national competition that challenges secondary school students to apply their understanding of Physics to complex and thought-provoking problems. This year, our students demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving skills, earning well-deserved recognition for their efforts.
Illustratum 2025
This is a competition organised by NUS High School that invited local students to showcase their science communication skills by presenting on a Physics concept of their choice. The event aimed to inspire creativity, clarity, and engagement in explaining complex scientific ideas to a broader audience.
Representing the school, Zheng Yongjie Andy, Kendric Ong Jian Xun, and Nga Jia Le from Class 401 participated in Illustrum with their project titled “Surface Tension of Water.” Through detailed research, experimentation, and clear presentation, the team demonstrated strong scientific understanding and effective communication. Their dedication and teamwork were recognised with a Distinction, reflecting their passion and excellence in Physics.
International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) - Science
ICAS provides an excellent opportunity for students to gain a measure of their academic abilities in an international external assessment. This year, our students achieved outstanding results.
ACJC Science Quiz
The Anglo-Chinese Junior College (ACJC) Science Competition is an annual event that provides secondary school students with the opportunity to apply scientific concepts creatively and critically in real-world contexts. This year, our students achieved commendable results, demonstrating both scientific rigour and enthusiasm for inquiry-based learning. reflecting their solid grasp of scientific concepts and perseverance.
