Get to know each school

Bartley Secondary School

Bartley opened in 1952 with 81 boys and 10 girls. Its secondary section later became a boys’ school, before returning to co-education in 1995, when it moved to its present premises at 10 Jalan Bunga Rampai. The pre-university section was phased out in 1996. Those changes help explain why older accounts of Bartley may describe a different school structure from the secondary school families are considering today.

The Applied Learning Programme uses fragrance to introduce chemistry and applied science. Secondary 1 students learn about essential oils and separation techniques alongside computer-aided design and micro:bit coding. Secondary 2 adds perfume formulation and a design-thinking project in which students develop a prototype around a problem. Upper-secondary extensions are more selective: students showing stronger interest and ability may take part in competitions, attachments and learning journeys. Singapore Polytechnic’s perfumery and cosmetic-science module gives priority to CurioSTÉ Club members.

Hua Yi Secondary School

Hua Yi started in 1956 as a government Chinese middle school on Fowlie Road. It moved through Winstedt Road and Margaret Drive before later operating at Depot Road, and reached its present Jurong West Street 42 premises in December 1999. MOE records English classes beginning in 1979 and the end of pre-university enrolment. Its heritage also includes xinyao compositions and bonsai cultivation. These explain the school’s cultural roots; they do not make today’s secondary programme a Chinese-only course or a pre-university route.

The August 2026 ALP page says Secondary 1 now uses micro:bit kits, transitioning from M5GO, for block-based coding and design projects. Secondary 2 progresses to AI for Fun using AI EF and ET Kit 2 hardware, while Secondary 3 has applied modules through polytechnics and ITE. The same page retains a pupil reflection about M5GO, so that account should not overwrite the newer equipment description. An overseas Taiwan exchange is described for a group of students, rather than as travel automatically available to everyone.
