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.
St. Hilda's Secondary School
St Hilda’s traces its beginnings to Bethel English School, established on Ceylon Road in 1929. Archdeacon Graham White acquired it in 1934 and affiliated it to the Anglican Diocese. The school moved to Tampines and separated into primary and secondary schools in 1988; boys joined in 1989, and the two schools were officially opened in July 1990. In 2012, the secondary school’s Student Activity Centre opened with two indoor sports halls and a rooftop hockey pitch. Its 2024 ninetieth-anniversary programme included 90 Acts of Kindness. These milestones explain the school’s history without implying the primary and secondary curricula are interchangeable.
The iTHink Applied Learning Programme began with Secondary 1 in 2015. Its current description gives a progression: Secondary 1 has weekly Drama in Education lessons involving scripts, improvisation and speaking, plus an oracy project culminating in a podcast. Secondary 2 combines a local heritage learning journey with researched class debates. Secondary 3 brings together Social Studies issue investigation, CCE service and English advocacy in an integrated project. Pupils examine an issue, propose solutions and act on recommendations. These are specified learning activities; the stated aim of producing confident, caring and disciplined leaders is an aim rather than a measured result for every pupil.
