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.
Ngee Ann Secondary School
Ngee Ann Kongsi proposed the school in 1991. It began operating in 1994 with about 600 students in 15 Secondary 1 classes, temporarily at Springfield Secondary, before moving to its own premises that June. Its official opening followed on 3 August 1996. The school links its founding to the closure of Tuan Mong High and the Kongsi’s continuing education work. Its technology emphasis also has a history: it became the East Zone ICT Centre of Excellence in 2007. The heritage record gives conflicting autonomous-status years, so no precise year is assigned here.
YouNG Academy @ NAS, or YANAS, coordinates Skills Discovery Electives and Applied Learning Modules. Secondary 1–3 students choose electives consisting of five weekly sessions, across areas such as aesthetics, business and finance, languages, digital skills, STEM and sport. ApLM@Poly offers a taste of applied learning at a polytechnic to support later education choices. The published description gives a useful distinction between short exploratory electives and deeper pathways; it does not establish that every student attends every external module.
