Get to know each school
Bendemeer Secondary School
Bendemeer Secondary opened in 1977 along Serangoon Road and also served as a pre-university centre from 1980 to 1995. It merged with Whampoa Secondary in 1994, then moved to the former Whampoa site at 1 St Wilfred Road in 1998. These are distinct events in MOE’s history record. Older alumni memories may include the pre-university years or the former campus, rather than the present secondary-school setting.
The current ALP introduces all students to sustainability over Secondary 1 and 2. The first year covers food, water and land through design-thinking projects and waste-reduction campaigns. The second turns to energy: students examine carbon footprints and life-cycle assessments, and use micro:bit technology for systems such as energy monitoring or smart lighting. The ALP Eco Stewards talent-development programme goes further into inquiry and national-level initiatives. That extension is separate from the two-year programme for the whole cohort.
Evergreen Secondary School
Evergreen Secondary opened in 2000 with 320 students and 12 teaching staff, moving to 11 Woodlands Street 83 in June that year. MOE's history records its North Zone Centre of Excellence in National Education designation in 2003, followed by NE awards in 2004 and 2008. Later developments included communication-based applied learning in 2015 and sports-based learning for life in 2016. These are dated milestones rather than a present-day ranking. They help explain why public communication, citizenship and sport recur in the current programme descriptions.
The current ALP is titled Bilingual Voices, Active Citizens. It links communication in English and Mother Tongue Languages with discussion of real-world and civic issues. Its lower-secondary Music component uses writing and performing raps to help pupils express their perspectives. This gives a concrete classroom activity behind the programme name. The page's introductory claim about musical talent is broader than the detail in its body: it does not establish specialist music tuition, an audition pathway or proven gains in bilingual proficiency for every pupil.
