(20120225) Invitation to schools to contribute write-ups from staff and students to MOE’s IremembermySchoolDays project

In Sep 2011, MOE launched the iremembermySchoolDays project to collect memories of school days from within schools, MOE HQ and the public. This project is part of the National Library Board’s larger Singapore Memory Project to collect, preserve and provide access to the memories of our nation, with the target to collect 5 million stories by 2015 in commemoration of Singapore’s 50th birthday.

iremembermySchoolDays aims to allow members of the public, staff and students to share personal memories of their school days, to deepen the sense of shared heritage and rootedness to Singapore.

The NE Unit would like to invite school staff and students to contribute write-ups to share their memories of how core NE events (e.g. Total Defence Day, Racial Harmony Day) are or were commemorated in school. Such write-ups could share personal perspectives of what the events meant to the individual, and could include photographs or videos.
For sample write-ups, please refer to http://www.iremember.sg/

Memories of NE events can be sent to moe_cceb@moe.gov.sg
Please indicate name, school, class (for students), date and email address.

Thank you for your contribution to the Singapore Memory Project.

2012 Science Lecture Series (Sec 3): The Chemistry of Love - Rated PG

The Science Department is launching the 2012 Science Lecture Series for Sec 3 students this week.

To kickstart the series, we are proud to have Dr Christopher Slatter (Subject Head, Chemistry) to deliver a lecture entitled The Chemistry of Love.

Synopsis: The Chemistry of Love - Rated PG

People involved in a loving relationship are often said to have a certain "Chemistry", but does a loving relationship really involve molecules and chemical reactions? It certainly does! In the first SST Science Lecture of the year we will discover the role that Chemistry - with a little help from Biology, Mathematics and Psychology - has to play in the human emotion called "Love."

The presentation will cover:

  • + The Chemistry of men - testosterone.
  • + The Chemistry of women - oestrogens.
  • + The Mathematics of beauty.
  • + Pheromones - the smell of love.
  • + The colour of love.
  • + Love as a drug - the central nervous system.
  • + Addicted to love.
  • + The Mathematics of dating.

  • Dates: 9 Feb (Thur), 14 Feb (Tues)
  • Time: 1430-1530h
  • Venue: Lecture Room
  • Maximum number of participants: 100

Interested students who do not have formal lessons, Support Class or CCA on these days, are welcome to attend the lecture.
