Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road)

The ACS family began with a shophouse school on Amoy Street in 1886, but the Barker Road school itself was established in January 1994 with primary and secondary pupils. MOE’s Heritage Centre records the split into ACS (Primary) and ACS (Barker Road) in 1997, followed by a return to the rebuilt Barker Road campus in January 2003. A shared indoor sports hall was consecrated in 2022 after construction delays. This history helps distinguish the secondary school from the primary school on the same campus.

The Applied Learning Programme uses drama, debate and public speaking. Its published sequence starts with Secondary 1 storytelling workshops, moves to Secondary 2 drama and theatre exposure linked to the literature text, and adds debates, drama workshops and theatre exposure in Secondary 3. A separate talent-development tier offers training for speaking competitions, Model United Nations and emceeing school events. The distinction matters: the basic sequence describes broader provision, while competition preparation involves additional participation.

Broadrick Secondary School

Broadrick was founded in 1968 at Dunman Road with Chinese- and English-stream students, becoming English-medium in 1985. MOE’s Heritage Centre records mergers with Maju in 1996, Telok Kurau in 2011 and MacPherson in 2017. The current campus is at 61 Dakota Crescent. The school’s own heritage page places it within the wider Mountbatten neighbourhood, including Dakota’s former public housing and Kallang Airport. This history helps explain why more than one former school community is represented in today’s Broadrick.

The current ALP page describes foundational learning in Secondary 1 and 2 through Geography, Design and Technology, and Code for Fun. More advanced Secondary 3 opportunities are for pupils with strong interest and aptitude. The science page gives examples including designing sustainability prototypes, working with NIE researchers and a mentoring project for outdoor workers facing heat. These are useful descriptions of what students make and investigate. The selected programmes should not be presented as an automatic experience for every pupil.
