Get to know each school
Admiralty Secondary School
Admiralty Secondary started in 2002 using Evergreen Secondary’s premises, with the official opening at its current Woodlands Crescent site in 2004. Its history records recognition of Robotics Enterprise as a niche in 2006. The school later developed Design Thinking through Innovation and Technology as its Applied Learning Programme, alongside a community-outreach Learning for Life Programme. That history explains why technology and service recur in its present programme descriptions.
The school’s ALP page sets out a foundation for all students, with fortnightly Secondary 1 lessons using tools such as Qdee robots and Microsoft MakeCode. In Secondary 2, the published curriculum asks groups to develop solutions around inclusivity, extending earlier design thinking and coding through micro:bit and Huskylens. Separate enrichment opportunities include the Innovation Programme, maker workshops and competitions for interested and able students. The distinction is useful: timetabled lessons for everyone and deeper specialist participation involve different commitments.
St. Hilda's Secondary School
St Hilda’s traces its beginnings to Bethel English School, established on Ceylon Road in 1929. Archdeacon Graham White acquired it in 1934 and affiliated it to the Anglican Diocese. The school moved to Tampines and separated into primary and secondary schools in 1988; boys joined in 1989, and the two schools were officially opened in July 1990. In 2012, the secondary school’s Student Activity Centre opened with two indoor sports halls and a rooftop hockey pitch. Its 2024 ninetieth-anniversary programme included 90 Acts of Kindness. These milestones explain the school’s history without implying the primary and secondary curricula are interchangeable.
The iTHink Applied Learning Programme began with Secondary 1 in 2015. Its current description gives a progression: Secondary 1 has weekly Drama in Education lessons involving scripts, improvisation and speaking, plus an oracy project culminating in a podcast. Secondary 2 combines a local heritage learning journey with researched class debates. Secondary 3 brings together Social Studies issue investigation, CCE service and English advocacy in an integrated project. Pupils examine an issue, propose solutions and act on recommendations. These are specified learning activities; the stated aim of producing confident, caring and disciplined leaders is an aim rather than a measured result for every pupil.
