As of Tuesday, 11 October, Union High School boasts probably the most modern science classroom in the Eastern Cape.

The recently refurbished classroom was unveiled to learners and staff at the start of the 4th term and, going forward, will help create many a “wow moment” in education for Union’s learners.

As the school’s Physical Sciences classroom and laboratory was decades old, 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧, 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚.

“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 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.”

𝙄𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙞𝙣. It is light, embracing, crisp, and colourful. The space celebrates the spirit of science and chemistry, the cobalt blue, the flame of the Bunsen burner, the array of the periodic table, and the endless chains of chemical compounds.

It is geared perfectly for practical demonstration. This is further complimented by an interactive digital teaching screen with excellent audio features. 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙣’𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚.

The feedback from learners and staff has been extremely positive and all are tremendously excited about this new addition to the school’s campus.
