Learning Outcomes

In alignment with the mainstream Primary Science Curriculum, St. Andrew’s Mission School (SAMS) aims to equip our students with the skills and processes needed to apply scientific knowledge to:

• develop inquiry thinking,
• draw evidence-based conclusions, and
• make informed decisions about the natural world and the impact of human activities.

Pedagogical Approaches

The Science curriculum is organised into five themes of Diversity, Cycles, Systems, Interactions and Energy. These themes cover a core body of concepts in both the life and physical sciences, offering students a broad-based understanding of the environment while laying a strong foundation for further study.

We support students in developing essential science inquiry skills through:

• Hands-on experiences, such as conducting experiments and working with resource kits.
• Exploration of natural settings, including school gardens and physical structures.
• Integration of science into daily life by using authentic scenarios.
• Collaborative programs with mainstream schools and industrial partners, which provide exposure beyond the syllabus.
