Get to know each school
Bedok Green Secondary School
Bedok Green Secondary opened in 2001 in holding premises and moved into its new campus the following year, with an official opening in 2003. MOE’s history records that Ping Yi Secondary merged into Bedok Green in 2023. That recent change matters when weighing older comments about either school. The heritage page also retains older programme names, while the present school site describes Design and Aeronautical Engineering as its Applied Learning Programme; current programme detail should come from that newer description.
Design and Aeronautical Engineering connects classroom learning to aeronautical science through observation, experiments, learning journeys and making flying aircraft models. This is more specific than a general claim that the school teaches innovation. The programme page gives an outline of the approach, but not a level-by-level timetable or a list of compulsory assessments. A child interested in this area would benefit from seeing an actual project and understanding how much design, testing and revision it involves.
Manjusri Secondary School
Manjusri’s history starts with the Singapore Buddhist Federation’s 1974 decision to establish a secondary school. The first pupils entered in 1982; the Sims Drive building opened officially in 1984. It began operating at Ubi Avenue 1 in November 2008, beside affiliated Maha Bodhi School, before the campus’s official opening in April 2010. The four virtues of its motto were represented in sculptures unveiled in 2022. That history explains its identity without implying that every pupil has the same religious background.
The Smart City and Assistive Technologies ALP asks groups of four or five pupils to learn programming and sensor functions with older people and less-abled users in mind. Sec 1 starts with the Potato Pirates card game, micro:bit connections and coding; Sec 2 develops and shares assistive designs and explores F1-car applications. Sec 3 and later experiences are labelled talent development, including Infineon production processes, polytechnic modules and engineer job shadowing. Those later opportunities should not be read as placements guaranteed to every student.
