=Welcome to rsVIAscience!=

What does 'rsVIAscience' stand for?

'rs' - Rosyth School. This project for the time being belongs to staff and present pupils of Rosyth. The day may come whe we open our doors to collaborate with others. Our learning begins in our home first.

'VIA'

Community Involvement Programme (CIP) will now be reframed and called "Values In Action" (VIA). This is to give greater focus to students in acquiring values. Some information on VIA... CIP is an important component of school co-curriculum in building social cohesion and civic responsibility. It has built a spirit of volunteerism so that students become active contributors and concerned citizens. Students have learnt to take ownership and have meaningful experiences in serving the community. Values In Action (VIA) builds on the strengths of CIP. VIA focuses on students living out core values through age-appropriate and sustained experiential learning, with progressive development, starting from taking responsibity for their own spaces in class and at home. The two key changes are: There will be facilitation of students' reflection in the lead-up to/after a VIA activity. There will be development for more sustainable learning through community involvement. Hence, let's work together in promoting VIA and see our children grow to be citizens with good values.

'VIA' also stands for 'via', which means 'by way of' or 'by means of'. Thus 'via science' means we learn about science in our environment. From our learning, we will be involved in service. We learn about this habitat and share the information with others, especially those in Rosyth School. In summary, we inculcate values of sharing and caring, learn Science and share our learning with others.

That is Service Learning too. We have many good things all rolled into one. Cheers!
