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.
Nan Hua High School
Nan Hwa Girls’ School began on Coleman Street in 1917 as a Chinese-medium school supported by Cantonese businessmen. It added secondary classes in 1957 and became fully secondary in 1964. Following relocation to Clementi, it became a co-educational English-medium school in 1984. SAP status followed in 2000; the current Clementi Avenue 1 premises opened for operations in January 2004. It became Nan Hua High and autonomous in 2006, introducing its Bicultural Programme in 2009. This is the secondary school’s history and should be kept distinct from Nan Hua Primary.
The science department says STEM Playground participation is offered during curriculum time to all pupils. It gives examples from the 2025 challenges: a chemical-reaction boat made from recycled bottles and a slow-descending paper helicopter. Beyond these shared experiences, the page describes external competitions and a student physics presentation on water’s surface tension. Such examples show both practical classroom exploration and opportunities for further interest. Awards belong to the participating teams; they should not be treated as a measure of every child’s science attainment or an automatic competition place.
