THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Science is a body of empirical, theoretical
and practical knowledge about the natural world produced by scientists who
emphasise the observation, explanation and prediction of the real world. It provides satisfactory answers for
countless questions that arise in our mind, in the form of easy experiments,
projects, models .. It provides creative
learning and practical knowledge about the phenomena that we see in our daily
life.
Until
1996 students from the areas
surrounding Bajpe were deprived of science education after finishing
school. So with the intention of providing
quality education, a discussion began at the time of the Golden Jubilee
celebrations in 1995, under the leadership of the Principal, Br. Conrad. His ideas were executed by his successor, Br.
Hector, and the rest is history.
Today, prospective students are offered
three choices of subject combination :
PCMB, PCMS and PCMC, which
combine the foundational Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with the options of
Biology, Statistics or Computer Science.
The laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science
are spacious, well illuminated and well-equipped, with a ready water
supply. There is a healthy relationship
between the lecturers and students. The
lecturers are not only experienced, with an ample amount of subject knowledge,
but also caring, always ready to clarify things for students who require help,
especially those with a less comfortable background. And students on their part are perpetually
ready to offer their services to help in various ways, like preparing solutions
in Chemistry, arranging specimens and bringing raw materials of nature in
Biology, resetting wires in Physics labs,
offering helpful software in
Computer Science .. .. enthusiastic ever. The relationship is symbiotic, and the
outcome is that all benefit ; students
who enter with an indifferent record often leave with something to be proud
of. Of course, the students will benefit
from the rural reservation quota when they apply for engineering, medical and
so on. From the tentative 30
students who initiated the Science section, there are now sufficient
numbers to merit a second section from
2014-15.
As a senior member of the faculty, I would
like to commend the management for being
always ready to procure whatever equipment and consumable material that is
required, without being deterred by cost.
It has been my good fortune to work in this institution.

Lecturer in Biology
