🌿 Growing Green Thumbs: Our Hydroponics Programme

Our Primary 3 and 4 students are diving into plant science by growing their own Kang Kong — minus the messy soil! Using our campus hydroponic systems, these young botanists are discovering how leafy greens thrive in nutrient-rich water. What Students Learn & Do:

  • Hands-On Farming: Actively managing every stage, from planting seedlings to monitoring growth and harvesting.

  • Real-World Science: Witnessing firsthand how water, light, and nutrients fuel the food cycle and sustainable agriculture.

  • Life Skills: Building teamwork, responsibility, and a genuine appreciation for where their food comes from.

More than just a science lesson, this programme connects our students directly to the natural world, one vibrant green shoot at a time!
