Get to know each school
Bedok South Secondary School
Bedok South Secondary was established in 1980 and initially shared premises with Temasek Secondary and Kong San Primary. It moved to 1 Jalan Langgar Bedok in December 2002, and the campus officially opened in February 2004. MOE’s history records the later Project S.H.I.N.E innovation programme and SHAPE sports-and-outdoor emphasis. The history page gives inconsistent introduction and implementation years for SHAPE, so those dates are not used here to make a precise chronology.
The school’s current DSA programme description lists Secondary 1–2 design-thinking workshops and learning journeys involving makers and social entrepreneurs. It separately identifies makerspace activities for selected lower-secondary students, innovation competitions for selected Secondary 3 students, and an overseas ALP/LLP trip for selected Secondary 2–3 students. These distinctions matter: seeing a named competition or overseas trip on the website does not establish participation for every pupil. The DSA page is useful for programme scope but contains a conflicting intake-year sentence in its timeline.
Bukit Panjang Govt. High School
Bukit Panjang Government High opened on 11 January 1960 at Jalan Teck Whye, bringing Chinese- and English-stream pupils into one government secondary school. Its heritage page traces this to the joining of Bukit Panjang Secondary and Chua Chu Kang Government Chinese Middle School. The school moved to Choa Chu Kang in 1993 and became autonomous in 1994; its new campus was officially opened in 1995. Those are separate milestones. Folk dancing was one early activity used to bring the two pupil communities together.
The school’s page describes Secondary 1 and 2 Code for Fun and AI for Fun sessions held from 26 to 28 May. Over ten hours, students used microcontrollers, basic programming and design thinking before presenting prototypes for sustainability problems. Examples included a dust sensor, motion-triggered lights and energy-saving home systems. The page includes pupils’ positive comments about coding and working with friends. These are school-published accounts of that activity, rather than an independent survey of all students’ enjoyment or computing proficiency.
