Every term, students in STEM Club actively participate in various Science, Engineering, and STEM competitions. These competitions are designed to challenge students’ understanding and application of STEM principles in innovative and creative ways.

Our club meets every Thursday after school, where students stay behind to work collaboratively in teams. Before the start of each session, students are provided with hot or cold nutritious food options, ensuring they are well-fed and energised for the activities ahead. During these sessions, students engage in hands-on projects and problem-solving activities, preparing for upcoming challenges. This teamwork helps them develop essential skills such as critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.

STEM club provides a supportive environment where students can explore their interests, share ideas, and learn from each other under the guidance of dedicated mentors. We believe that through these activities, students will develop a passion for STEM and build a strong foundation for their future academic and career pursuits.
