Get to know each school
Anglican High School
Anglican High was founded in 1956 by Chinese-speaking Anglican congregations. Its first 123 male pupils studied at St Andrew’s Secondary before the Upper Changi Road buildings were completed in 1960. The heritage page records its later selection under the Special Assistance Plan, the phasing-out of pre-university classes and subsequent campus upgrading. This explains the school’s Chinese educational and church background. The present school is a secondary-school choice; its historical pre-university section should not be presented as a current route.
The two-year i-SCoRe programme connects Food and Consumer Education with Design and Technology through Design Thinking. Published tasks include sustainable packaging for a hawker dish, a meal for someone with a diet-related condition, and projects using 3D printing or micro:bits. Students work from a persona and empathy research, then present a proposed solution. This provides useful detail for a parent interested in applied learning: ask how the child investigates a person’s needs, tests an idea and explains the choices made.
CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent
MOE traces the beginnings to the Church of St Teresa’s efforts to educate poor children around Kampong Bahru in 1929. The school took the name CHIJ St Theresa’s Convent at Hood Lodge in 1933, with 25 pupils learning English and Tamil. Its primary section was phased out by 1992. It returned to its upgraded premises in 2011, with the campus officially opened in 2013. These dates distinguish the school’s early primary history from the secondary school families are considering now.
The Applied Learning Programme builds on Education for Life, which began in 1992. Its current theme is Portable Skills and Real-World Problem Solving. Secondary 1 examples include MacRitchie water testing, Science Centre learning and connections between the environment, poetry and community history. Secondary 2 explores sustainability through the Sustainable Singapore Gallery, coding and prototypes. Secondary 3 investigates how Khatib Central can be more inclusive. The published sequence is concrete, but does not itself establish how every pupil’s project is assessed or what individual fieldwork adjustments are available.
