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.

Chung Cheng High School (Yishun)

Chung Cheng High Yishun shares its 1939 origins with Chung Cheng Main. When the Goodman Road campus opened in 1947, the original Kim Yam Road campus became the Branch school. It moved to Guillemard Road in 1969, began English-stream classes in 1981, and operated across Guillemard and a Sembawang holding site during preparations for the northern move. The completed Yishun campus brought a new name in 2005; its official opening followed on 30 June 2006.

The aesthetics LLP lists Secondary 2 design-thinking and interest-based workshops, Secondary 1 interactive-video work, photography and engagement with artists. Its tiered structure also includes exhibitions and competitions; the page does not establish that every student receives every listed opportunity. MOE records a food science and technology ALP introduced in 2014. The current ALP page has little readable detail, so families should confirm today's year-level content rather than assume the historical description is the full current programme.
