The Astronomy Club was formed in 2005 and is steadily growing in strength. The Astronomy Club’s objective is to nurture students’ interest in Astronomy and Astrophysics and to undertake public education in Astronomy. We have been actively involved in various Astronomy activities and have conducted Astronomy trips to Malaysia and Perth to enrich our Astronomy experience. Students in Astronomy Club learn to use telescopes, identify celestial bodies as well as take stock of the many celestial phenomena.
