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.

Woodlands Ring Secondary School

Woodlands Ring Secondary received its first 395 Secondary 1 pupils on 2 January 1998, with 15 teachers. Fuchun Secondary had begun on 2 January 1986 with 109 pupils and nine teachers. Their merger was completed in January 2025. The current school publishes both histories, including Fuchun’s earlier performing-arts development and Woodlands Ring’s robotics background. This matters when reading reviews: a graduate’s pre-2025 timetable, facilities, subjects or friendships describe a predecessor cohort, rather than automatically represent the merged school’s current experience.

The Future of Transportation ALP has a Tier 1 programme for all Secondary 1 and 2 pupils. Secondary 1 uses LEGO Spike Prime and Scratch-based drag-and-drop coding to build and programme robots for transport challenges. Secondary 2 starts with Tinkercad Circuits simulation before using physical Arduino systems, including LEDs, sensors and robot-car movement. Tier 2 deepens learning through Robotics and Singapore Youth Flying Club CCAs. Aviation examples include gliders, model aircraft, drones and a flight simulator. These are distinct routes; broad ALP exposure does not guarantee a flying-club place or a pilot licence.
