Science Laboratories

After generations of Familians, the present Familians have now become owners of brand new science and mathematics laboratories.  The PTA undertook the renovations of the laboratories in the year 2008 as one of their projects. These labs are situated on the North side of the school.

At present there are many facilities provided for students who engage in experiments.

We have five laboratories. Namely;
