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.
Seng Kang Secondary School
Seng Kang Secondary began on 4 January 1999 as the first secondary school in the Sengkang housing estate. Its first 283 pupils occupied the former Hai Sing Girls’ High premises before moving to 10 Compassvale Lane on 12 March that year. The campus formally opened in July 2001. The anchor in its crest refers to the district’s earlier harbour identity. The temporary use of Hai Sing’s premises is part of its founding story; it does not mean the two schools were the same institution.
The dedicated ALP page describes Health Science and Technology, using Design Thinking and VIA learning journeys to understand real users’ needs. The 2027-intake DSA page instead describes “Food for the Future”, including urban farming and food investigations. Both remain published. Families should ask which description applies to their child’s cohort and how these activities fit together. The different titles alone do not establish that one programme has replaced the other.
