Scholarship Physics

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Shafie.

For Physics Scholarship, the assessment will be limited to the same Level 3 physics achievement standards (Mechanics, Electricity, Waves and Modern Physics). A strong foundation in mathematics (especially in Calculus) is key and physics students attempting Maths Scholarship are encouraged to take up the challenge. Students will be provided with practice materials and are encouraged to form study groups to be engaged in rigorous discussions.
