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.

St. Gabriel's Secondary School

St Gabriel’s School began in 1953 with 212 pupils, spanning primary and early secondary levels. It became a full school in 1958 and split into separate primary and secondary schools in 1969. The secondary school remained on Upper Serangoon Road before moving to Serangoon Avenue 1 at the end of 1992. Its golden jubilee was celebrated in 2003. Later heritage projects included a replica of the old gate in 2016 and a time capsule sealed in 2018 for opening in 2053. This gives the campus’s history some context without assuming the primary school’s current programmes apply to the secondary school.

The Applied Learning Programme focuses on aviation and future transportation. The school describes recognition as a CAAS Aviation Initiative School and a partnership with Boeing Singapore. Secondary 1 pupils learn flight principles and design, build and test an unpowered glider; Secondary 2 introduces drone operations, basic coding, navigation, AI and automation. AeroWings uses simulation software for aircraft controls and flight missions. The page also lists competitions, workshops, learning journeys and overseas trips. Those enrichment platforms need cohort-specific confirmation: they are not a pilot licence, an industry placement or a promise that every pupil travels overseas.
