Get to know each school
Bukit View Secondary School
Bukit View Secondary began in 1986 with about 450 pupils and 15 teachers. MOE’s history records a 1999 Mandai Forest restoration project and later green learning spaces, including a solar-powered garden sprinkler. Clean Energy and Environmental Technology became its ALP focus, with the JOULES STEM emphasis sharpening from 2016. This helps explain why sustainability appears across the current programme, rather than only in one recycling event.
JOULES focuses on clean energy and environmental technology through design thinking and programming. The school lists Secondary 1 and 2 projects, a Secondary 2 Smart Cities showcase and a one-day Secondary 3 experience at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Examples include solar cars and assistive smart glasses. Further opportunities such as environmental leadership conferences and NXplorers are described for student leaders pursuing that interest. The scholarship table still uses older PSLE grades, so current eligibility needs direct confirmation before a family relies on it.
Chung Cheng High School (Yishun)
Chung Cheng High Yishun shares its 1939 origins with Chung Cheng Main. When the Goodman Road campus opened in 1947, the original Kim Yam Road campus became the Branch school. It moved to Guillemard Road in 1969, began English-stream classes in 1981, and operated across Guillemard and a Sembawang holding site during preparations for the northern move. The completed Yishun campus brought a new name in 2005; its official opening followed on 30 June 2006.
The aesthetics LLP lists Secondary 2 design-thinking and interest-based workshops, Secondary 1 interactive-video work, photography and engagement with artists. Its tiered structure also includes exhibitions and competitions; the page does not establish that every student receives every listed opportunity. MOE records a food science and technology ALP introduced in 2014. The current ALP page has little readable detail, so families should confirm today's year-level content rather than assume the historical description is the full current programme.
