Social Studies Seminar I: Financial planning with the Singapore healthcare system in focus

Dear Sec 3 students,

Come next Wednesday, the Social Studies team has invited a professional speaker to address you on the Singapore healthcare system and its underlying financial intricacies.

This is in conjunction with the third topic in the syllabus where you had learnt about the healthcare systems in Singapore and the United Kingdom. Through this talk, we hope to share with you on how some of the healthcare policies have been implemented in the Singapore context, using real-life case studies. You will also learn about some key strategies on how one can manage his own healthcare needs, in the face of rising healthcare costs.

Below are the details:

Date: 18 July 2012 (Wednesday)

Time: 1400 - 1500 hrs (participants are to be seated by 1345hrs)

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.
