Our Year 6 learners had the unique opportunity to engage with Dr. Renee Goreham, a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle specialising in nanotechnology, through the 'Skype a Scientist' programme. Dr. Goreham enlightened year 6 about the intricate and impactful world of nanotechnology, emphasising its revolutionary applications in fields like medicine, electronics, and environmental science. She shared her personal journey into this cutting-edge area of study, inspiring our learners with stories of challenges and triumphs. Dr. Goreham took the time to answer a myriad of questions from our eager learners about her journey into the field of nanotechnology, being a woman in science, and the intricacies of working with nanoparticles.
44 members of the NEXUS Community went together to watch ET in concert at the Esplanade Concert Hall on Friday 26th January.
It was an incredible and breathtaking performance by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra that left us all wondering how the conductor managed to stay in time to the movie. We were also left in awe by how non of the musicians had a mic and how the hall naturally amplifies the orchestra.
The Nexus music department regularly organises trips for our families to visit concerts and theatre performances. Look out for more information on whats coming up next!

Last term, the Primary Production, "Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits," unfolded over two enchanting nights. Our audience was whisked up, up, and away to a night of adventure in an ancient city overrun with tap-dancing camels, hidden caves, bumbling bandits, and the iconic flying carpet.
A huge congratulations to our learners in the production, the prop and tech crew, and a special shoutout to the dedicated teachers and parents who played a role in making this production truly magical!
