Singapore Junior Biology Olympiad (SJBO) 2025

Our girls participated in the Singapore Junior Biology Olympiad (SJBO) 2025, organised by the Singapore Institute of Biology, in collaboration with Science Centre Singapore and supported by the Ministry of Education.

This competition provides a platform for students to challenge themselves in the field of biology, with a strong emphasis on critical thinking skills.

In the theory round of the competition, RGS achieved the following results: 

Student Reflection:

SJBO was an unforgettable journey that allowed us not only to dive deeper into biology beyond the school curriculum, but also to create lasting memories together.

Through the theory round, we were able to apply our critical thinking skills and explore subjects beyond the usual syllabus; while the practical round offered us a rare glimpse into marine biology, and the many conservation efforts that Singapore has and informed us on the biodiversity in Singapore’s waters.

As a team, we quickly forged strong bonds, encouraging one another through intense lab sessions, hours of theory revision, and the challenges of the competition itself.

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to explore biology outside the classroom, learn more about Singapore's marine biology and for the unwavering support and guidance of our teachers throughout the entire competition season.
