Get to know each school
Bukit Panjang Govt. High School
Bukit Panjang Government High opened on 11 January 1960 at Jalan Teck Whye, bringing Chinese- and English-stream pupils into one government secondary school. Its heritage page traces this to the joining of Bukit Panjang Secondary and Chua Chu Kang Government Chinese Middle School. The school moved to Choa Chu Kang in 1993 and became autonomous in 1994; its new campus was officially opened in 1995. Those are separate milestones. Folk dancing was one early activity used to bring the two pupil communities together.
The school’s page describes Secondary 1 and 2 Code for Fun and AI for Fun sessions held from 26 to 28 May. Over ten hours, students used microcontrollers, basic programming and design thinking before presenting prototypes for sustainability problems. Examples included a dust sensor, motion-triggered lights and energy-saving home systems. The page includes pupils’ positive comments about coding and working with friends. These are school-published accounts of that activity, rather than an independent survey of all students’ enjoyment or computing proficiency.
Hai Sing Catholic School
The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary founded Hai Sing Girls’ High School in 1959 to educate girls from less fortunate families. It became coeducational when it moved to Pasir Ris in 1990, and adopted the Hai Sing Catholic name in 1999. The school reports returning to 9 Pasir Ris Drive 6 in January 2026 after refurbishment from 2023 to 2025. Its account of the 17 April 2026 campus blessing connects that return with its mission-school origins, rather than presenting the school as newly established.
The school’s official FAQ says Catholic student leaders lead morning prayer. Non-Catholic pupils may pray according to their own faith or observe quietly; monthly Mass and Catholic formation are described for Catholic students. This gives families a more useful description of religious participation than the school label alone. The curriculum also includes service, citizenship and career exploration. For a child of another faith, the next useful question is how the school organises the timetable during Catholic-specific sessions and communicates those arrangements to parents.
