Get to know each school
Broadrick Secondary School
Broadrick was founded in 1968 at Dunman Road with Chinese- and English-stream students, becoming English-medium in 1985. MOE’s Heritage Centre records mergers with Maju in 1996, Telok Kurau in 2011 and MacPherson in 2017. The current campus is at 61 Dakota Crescent. The school’s own heritage page places it within the wider Mountbatten neighbourhood, including Dakota’s former public housing and Kallang Airport. This history helps explain why more than one former school community is represented in today’s Broadrick.
The current ALP page describes foundational learning in Secondary 1 and 2 through Geography, Design and Technology, and Code for Fun. More advanced Secondary 3 opportunities are for pupils with strong interest and aptitude. The science page gives examples including designing sustainability prototypes, working with NIE researchers and a mentoring project for outdoor workers facing heat. These are useful descriptions of what students make and investigate. The selected programmes should not be presented as an automatic experience for every pupil.
CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent
MOE traces the beginnings to the Church of St Teresa’s efforts to educate poor children around Kampong Bahru in 1929. The school took the name CHIJ St Theresa’s Convent at Hood Lodge in 1933, with 25 pupils learning English and Tamil. Its primary section was phased out by 1992. It returned to its upgraded premises in 2011, with the campus officially opened in 2013. These dates distinguish the school’s early primary history from the secondary school families are considering now.
The Applied Learning Programme builds on Education for Life, which began in 1992. Its current theme is Portable Skills and Real-World Problem Solving. Secondary 1 examples include MacRitchie water testing, Science Centre learning and connections between the environment, poetry and community history. Secondary 2 explores sustainability through the Sustainable Singapore Gallery, coding and prototypes. Secondary 3 investigates how Khatib Central can be more inclusive. The published sequence is concrete, but does not itself establish how every pupil’s project is assessed or what individual fieldwork adjustments are available.
