Friday flyer: issue 122

Hello everyone, it’s Friday again!

Since the handing down of this Society from the founding members, the current team has been on quite a journey, actively organising and participating in many school events. Lots of discussion sessions, posters, meetings, and summaries were prepared and hosted on a weekly basis. Of course, this inevitably led to the development of unique perspectives regarding scientific affairs and a piqued further interest in and a burning passion for science. Although it’s (still) quite challenging for us, to manage a Society while keeping up with our own academics, we as Society members can agree that it is worth the hard work.

In our Society, we’ve incorporated all aspects of science from hot topics such as abortion to more creative, uncommon topics such as space travel and music therapy. Holding the majority of our Society’s sessions as discussions, we’ve managed to gather interesting thoughts and share our different perspectives with each other. This student-led Society offers a fantastic platform for us to share our enthusiasm. Not only students, but several teachers have taken part in our sessions, with their specific questions and supportive comments - it is great to have them join us!

You may wonder if there’s more coming up? YES, we’re happy to say - there will be many more intriguing events coming up in this half-term, varying from the collaboration with BSE and Comfort Society in their personalised subject week, to an experiment session which involves us making ‘Edible Water Bubbles’! Other than that, a KS3 Science Fair and a Live Talk with science professionals in the industry are also pending and in progress -we are extremely excited!

Although we have a few more sessions left, we will soon be handing the society down again to a new, exciting team of core members! The current core members (Jing Xean, Thaaranniyah, Elizabeth, Khai Yue, Keira and Darshinie) have enjoyed all that we’ve done within our time leading this Society, and we wish the same for the new ones too. Applications for new core members will be open until the 30th of September 2022, so if your interests and passions lie within science, we encourage you to take this opportunity to lead a student-led Society with a team.

We hope to see you there for the few remaining sessions, and a thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged us up until now :)

Have a good weekend!
