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.

Peicai Secondary School

Peicai Secondary was established in 1984 from Parry Secondary and Hwi Yoh Secondary, initially using the latter’s facilities. The school says its name combines the Chinese names of its two predecessors and means nurturing talents. Its current ALP pages describe Seek. Make. Advocate, while MOE’s school-history body still describes The Science of Food. The current school publication is used for the programme account below; the older description is not silently treated as the same curriculum. Past programmes and predecessor memories need their own dates and context when comparing with today’s school.

Seek. Make. Advocate was co-created with SUTD for Secondary 1–2. The common tier uses blended learning, coding, video editing and data analytics to investigate social causes, with Microbits or augmented reality among the tools for prototypes. Themes named include mental wellness and animal welfare. Selected project groups then pitch to the community and explore implementation with organisations. Those pitches are a further opportunity, not proof that every prototype is adopted or that all pupils work with an external partner. Programme aims such as resilience are not independently measured results.
