Chemistry

Staff Members: Mrs Mungur ,Miss Soukhee, Mr Beedassee & Miss Ghallu (integrated Science)

Ever since RTSS has been integrated in the MGI family, the main aim of the new administrative & teaching team has been to achieve excellence through quality teaching. Science is one of the most challenging fields of studies and so far considered to be an area reserved for the most brilliant students. At RTSS, the very first batch of students taking part in SC examination(in 2006), consisted of 60 chemistry students out of approximately 109 students, the second batch (2007) comprised of 72 students out of around 125 students and this year(2008) , there are 66 out of 107 students taking chemistry. In both 2006 and 2007, the results were 100 %, with a marked improvement in the quality of results in 2007. However, it is worth pointing out that RTSS does not have the best of intakes at Form I level.

Our aspiration in the Chemistry Department is to make chemistry the first choice of students rather than it being considered as a tough subject. We try to market the subject from Form I level itself by laying emphasis on its core aspects. For instance, we try to develop awareness in students that chemistry is present in their daily life and also make them appreciate that a sound knowledge of scientific (chemical) concepts is important.

The study of Chemistry develops certain skills in students, like observation, analysis, ability to discriminate and compare. At RTSS, students are introduced to laboratory apparatus and chemicals from Form I so that they develop a particular liking for subject and look forward to come in the chemistry class.

Chemistry is an ever-changing field of study, with new concepts being developed and new technological advances. We believe that our students should not lag behind and always keep in touch with the dynamic science field.

Our motto is to make the best of our limited resources so that our students benefit the maximum.
