New science classroom for Union High school

GRAAFF-REINET NEWS - On Tuesday, 11 October, Union High School in Graaff-Reinet, had the opportunity to boast the most modern science classroom in the Eastern Cape.

These classrooms were unveiled to learners and staff at the beginning of the fourth term.

The school's Physical Science classrooms and laboratories were outdated and needed a fresh perspective. The angle of the design was to create a visually stimulating, but also practical environment for learners to utilise.

Features included an impressive digital teaching screen, a design of the periodic table and audio features.

“Our dream was to convey the study of chemistry and science with as much enthusiasm as possible. It is so much easier with the right tools, technology and infrastructure,” said Mr David Langmead, Union’s Governing Body vice-chair. “What we now have is a visually stimulating high-tech space, where we can place special emphasis on experimental learning, enriched by media and electronic support.”
