Students Get First Glimpse of Seria Energy Lab’s Newly Revamped Exhibition Hall

After being temporarily closed to the public for two years due to renovation works, Seria Energy Lab has recently reopened its doors with a refreshed and modernised exhibition centre. Four of our students were fortunate to be given an exclusive preview of the newly revamped hall ahead of its official opening on 28 November 2025.

The visit began with a briefing in the theatre by Mr. Allen Jaffran Angi, Lead of the Exhibition and Education Department of Seria Energy Lab, followed by an engaging Science Show conducted by SEL’s very own science communicator, Nurul Fathien Amirul, who captivated the students with two exciting fire experiments.

Our students were among the very first to explore the brand-new exhibits.

One of the highlights is the “Aqua Lab,” the centrepiece of the exhibition. This immersive section showcases a new ecosystem of freshwater aquariums featuring iconic species found in Brunei’s freshwater habitats.

The “Oil and Gas” exhibit takes students on a fascinating journey through the formation of hydrocarbons and the process of oil and gas extraction. Visitors can view real rock samples and learn about Brunei’s onshore and offshore drilling technology.

Meanwhile, the “Smart Science” section offers hands-on activities where science, technology, engineering and mathematics come alive through play and discovery.

Another crowd favourite is the “Discover Little Borneo” exhibit, where students can explore the rich biodiversity of Borneo and encounter various creepy crawlies up close. This section was co-designed by SEL and UBD Museum and includes an innovative interactive quiz game developed in-house by SEL’s own talented team. Using a touch-screen computer interface, the game challenges visitors to test their knowledge about Brunei’s wildlife in a fun and engaging way.

Our students thoroughly enjoyed the experience, especially the interactive displays, which sparked their curiosity and made the learning journey both engaging and memorable.

On November 18, 2025, 46 students from 9 S and 9 A paid a visit to Laksamana College of Business. The tour was intended to provide kids with an opportunity to learn about future courses and careers.

Year 8 Students of Chung Ching Middle School Visited Gadong Police Headquarters and Police Museum

On 13 November 2025, fifty Year 8 students from Chung Ching Middle School, accompanied by five teachers, visited the Gadong Police Headquarters and the Police Museum for an outdoor learning activity. The aim of this visit was to help students gain a deeper understanding of police duties and public safety, as well as to enhance their awareness of the rule of law and social responsibility.

During the activity, police officers conducted a briefing for the students, providing detailed explanations on the definition of crime, common types of offences, and the basic contents of criminal law.

The visit then continued to the Health Promotion Centre with the aim of strengthening students’ knowledge about healthy lifestyles and personal health care. There, students were exposed to a variety of interactive exhibits related to balanced nutrition, physical activity, and mental health. This trip not only provided an enjoyable learning experience but also helped cultivate a sense of responsibility towards personal health.

On 11th November, the Year 10 classes, comprising 58 students and 4 teachers in charge, conducted an educational field trip to the Royal Brunei Air Force base in Rimba.

The group was welcomed and briefed by Warrant Officer 2 (U) Pengiran Shahbuddin bin Pengiran Haji Md Tejuddin, who introduced the students to the RBAirF. This was followed by a static display showcasing RBAirF assets and equipment.
