Science Ecogarden
Introduction
The Science Ecogarden, nestled within the classroom block (Block C) of our school, is a vibrant oasis of greenery and life. Situated near the Ang Mo Kio Town Garden East, it enjoys frequent visits from a variety of insects and other animals, contributing to the flourishing ecosystem within.
An Outdoor Classroom
Beyond its role in enhancing the school's aesthetics, the Ecogarden serves as an invaluable outdoor classroom. It provides students with a unique opportunity to engage with and appreciate the rich diversity of plants and animals. To facilitate learning, informative placards printed with QR codes are strategically placed throughout the garden. These QR codes enable students to embark on self-directed learning journeys, empowering them to delve deeper into the fascinating world of flora. By simply scanning the QR codes with their mobile devices, students can access a wealth of information about the plants.

Our selection of plants has been meticulously curated to expose students to a wide spectrum of botanical wonders, each with its own distinctive characteristics. From aquatic plants to medicinal herbs, climbers to flowering marvels, the Ecogarden boasts a diverse ensemble of plant life. This carefully crafted ecosystem provides opportunities for students to observe the intricate interactions between flora and fauna.
Overall, the Science Ecogarden stands as a testament to our commitment to environmental education and experiential learning. It invites students to explore, discover, and connect with the natural world in a dynamic and interactive setting.
