You will have the privilege of being taught by these charming teachers below:

Congratulations to all our Physicists of the Month for all our S3-S6 classes! Check out the notice board to see who they are!

Physics qualifications give learners an insight into the underlying nature of our world and its place in the universe. From the sources of the energy we use, to the exploration of space, Physics covers a range of applications of the relationships that have been discovered through experiment and calculation.
