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.
Dunman High School
Dunman High was established in 1956 as Kallang West Government Chinese Middle School, renamed after moving to Dunman Road in 1957, and became a SAP school in 1979. It moved to Tanjong Rhu in 1995 and began its Integrated Programme in 2005. The current structure has four Junior High years and two Senior High years leading to A levels. This review concerns the secondary stage; Senior High subject offers, scholarships and JC-entry experiences need to be read separately.
The Junior High English page describes oral presentations, multimodal-text analysis, group discussion and Socratic seminars. Literature in English is taken by all lower-secondary pupils; in Years 3 and 4, pupils with an interest may choose it as a Humanities subject. Literature work includes close reading, role play, scriptwriting, research and multimedia presentations. These are specific classroom approaches, rather than evidence that one language dominates all school interactions. Current subject combinations and any requirements for choosing upper-secondary Literature should be confirmed for the relevant cohort.
