Science Laboratories

The Science Laboratory is constructed according to the specifications and needs of the users.

It is divided into five areas namely: Integrated Science Room, Biology Room, Chemistry Room, Physics Room, Dispensing and Storage Room. Each room has whiteboard, laboratory tables, stool and demonstration tables. The Chemistry laboratory tables are equipped with gas outlet. A shower room is also provided for emergency purposes.

Between the Biology and Chemistry Rooms is the dispensing and storage area for easy transport of the tools and equipment and other materials needed during experimentation. The Science Laboratories provide adequate and sufficient laboratory equipment and consumables. The maintenance and improvement is done by a laboratory custodian. A yearly inventory is conducted by her to determine which materials need replenishment, repair or replacement and request for such.

The Laboratories are well-ventilated. A display cabinet is installed in each room.

The Biology Room serves as the Multimedia room for the science courses. 

The Exhibit room is a place to showcase the best projects of students.

Laboratory activities are designed by the science teachers to develop in the students the interest for science and to fully understand the basic concepts and principles learned from the natural set-up. Skills like observation, data gathering, analysis and interpretation of data, drawing conclusion and handling and manipulating laboratory tools and instruments are developed through these activities. Critical thinking, resourcefulness and environmental awareness are also developed. Thus, student's curiosity is aroused and their sense of inquiry and discovery is magnified by conducting investigatory projects.

Science and Technology, Technology and Livelihood Education, Computer and Speech play very important roles in the teaching and learning process of every student and teacher.
