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.

Hua Yi Secondary School

Hua Yi started in 1956 as a government Chinese middle school on Fowlie Road. It moved through Winstedt Road and Margaret Drive before later operating at Depot Road, and reached its present Jurong West Street 42 premises in December 1999. MOE records English classes beginning in 1979 and the end of pre-university enrolment. Its heritage also includes xinyao compositions and bonsai cultivation. These explain the school’s cultural roots; they do not make today’s secondary programme a Chinese-only course or a pre-university route.

The August 2026 ALP page says Secondary 1 now uses micro:bit kits, transitioning from M5GO, for block-based coding and design projects. Secondary 2 progresses to AI for Fun using AI EF and ET Kit 2 hardware, while Secondary 3 has applied modules through polytechnics and ITE. The same page retains a pupil reflection about M5GO, so that account should not overwrite the newer equipment description. An overseas Taiwan exchange is described for a group of students, rather than as travel automatically available to everyone.
