Each year, Dunearn Secondary School holds a thrilling week of Math and Science related activities which provide students with the opportunity to get hands- on and discover the joy of learning in Math and Science. The week started with a quiz challenge, with students answering a series of Math and Science related trivia questions. During the week, fun facts related to Math, Physic, Chemistry, Biology and Food Science were shared by the Science Ambassadors.
Students in Lower Secondary also participated in a series of learning experiences such as Bowling Trail, Escape Room activities, and Artec Blocks workshop on 2 April and 3 April 2019. These learning experiences enable students to better visualize, understand and apply concepts and skills of Science and Math in a fun and enjoyable manner for everyday use. Besides having fun, these activities also provided valuable lessons in teamwork.
Recently the secondary two cohort went for their 4D/3N outdoor adventure camp at Sembawang's BB/GB Adventure Campsite. The camp was a good platform to promote class bonding, strengthens teacher-student relationship and also provided opportunities for our Dunearnites to lead one another through various tasks and challenges. The camp managed to inculcate the school values and develop social emotional competencies of self-awareness. Activities such as dragon boating, tent pitching, 3 different high elements and outdoor cooking provided an excellent avenue for ruggedness and appreciation for nature for our Dunearnites. Campers were awarded a camp tee and also a certificate of achievement. We are looking forward to our next camp in 2020!
On the 23th of February, seven secondary three SAP students celebrated their successful completion of the STEP Sunburst programme and received their certificates.

The team of Dunearn Health Ambassadors participated in the Design Thinking and Innovation Boot Camp organised jointly by Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP, School of Design) and the Health Promotion Board on 19-20 March 2019. The team brainstormed ideas to address the problem statement of youths who smoke because they want to belong and be cool. They went through the design process guided by the lecturers from NYP and spent 2 days designing their prototype, working on the storyboard and filming for the video. They finally presented and delivered their ideas to a panel of judges. Their hard work paid dividends as they emerged as the winners for the “Most Implementable” design.
