Get to know each school

Bedok View Secondary School

Bedok View began in temporary premises in 1977 and moved to 6 Bedok South Avenue 3 in January 1978. Its official opening followed in September 1979, as the first government secondary school built in Bedok New Town. MOE’s history records the completion of PRIME upgrading in 2005, including an indoor sports hall and synthetic soccer field. The school’s global-awareness and values programmes were both accorded their ALP and LLP status in 2015.

BV Navigator gives different tasks to different year groups. Secondary 1 focuses on responsible consumption and production, with examples such as portable composting devices and cardboard chairs. Secondary 2 applies design thinking to a Singapore issue linked to one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In Secondary 3, students choose one project area: STEM innovation, global leadership, or communication and digital skills. Secondary 4 and 5 move towards self-initiated external projects and mentoring younger students. Competitions and model-government events are examples within the programme, rather than activities every student necessarily attends.

Compassvale Secondary School

Compassvale Secondary began in 2000, spending its first six months at Sengkang Secondary before moving to Compassvale Crescent. The campus officially opened in 2002. MOE’s history records an aeronautics Applied Learning Programme and a community-and-youth-leadership Learning for Life Programme from 2016. The current programme pages show how those themes have developed: aeronautics now sits within ACES, while the current Learning for Life Programme is Green Compass, unified in 2024.

ACES covers Aeronautics, Coding, Engineering and Sustainability. All lower-secondary students take the formal programme, exploring flight principles and working on coding, engineering or green-design projects. The school gives examples such as a motor-operated toy car, a stationery holder with a potted plant and LED memo sheet, and a solar charger. Students completing the programme at the end of Secondary 2 receive Singapore Polytechnic’s Young Engineers Award (ALP). STEM elective modules and visits extend the classroom work. Competitions and specialist CCAs offer further development for talented or strongly interested students; participation in every extension is not promised.
