Science Year 7
Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life
-Markus Aurelius
Welcome
Dear parents and students,
We would like to welcome you to our Year 7 Science page. This academic year Ms Amina, Ms Nisha and Ms Mayar will be your teachers. We hope that you will enjoy this year with us.
There is no doubt that each new year brings its challenges , but it is a great opportunity for students to showcase their strengths, potential and their commitment to learning in order to achieve their desired success.
As teachers we promise to seek the best methods to ensure the delivery of high quality learning through face to face and online sessions.
