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.
Serangoon Garden Secondary School
Serangoon Garden Secondary began as Lichfield Secondary in 1959, became Serangoon Garden Government High in 1960, and merged with Hwi Yoh Vocational School in 1969. A further merger with Serangoon Garden Technical School in 2003 formed the present school, which moved to Serangoon North Avenue 1 in March 2004. Its history includes English and Chinese streams, technical education and periods of pre-university teaching. Those earlier offerings explain its development; they are not a description of the courses available to today’s secondary pupils.
The ALP, Researching Society through Media Literacy, uses Design Thinking to investigate societal issues. Its first tier covers all lower-secondary and Sec 3 pupils. Sec 1 includes checking information across sources and basic photography; Sec 2 develops videography and ethical use of varied media. The extension tier is for pupils with higher aptitude and interest, through talent development, Earth Club and Media Club. Selected pupils attend master classes and learning journeys. The published progression separates broad participation from extra opportunities, rather than promising identical access for everyone.
