As part of the department’s efforts to excite the students about Math and Science beyond the classroom,
‘Math & Science AHA!’ was introduced as part of the madrasah’s pre-assembly programme.
Teachers and students conduct Math quizzes and Science demonstrations on alternate Thursday mornings which never fails to
peak students’ interest and create a positive buzz before they start their lessons.

Math and Science AHA! Is conducted on Thursday mornings before assembly from 7.20 – 7.35am
with the Math AHA! and Science AHA! being on alternate weeks.
