"We believe that 'science is for life'. We hope that
by capturing the interest and imagination of pupils we can
stimulate their life-long interest in the biological, chemical
and physical apsects of the world around them.
We also feel that the scientific approach to problem solving
through experimentation is an excellent foundation for their
future careers, scientific or otherwise."
