Get to know each school
Canberra Secondary School
Canberra Secondary was established in 2000, first operating at what is now Sembawang Secondary before moving to 51 Sembawang Drive. MOE’s history records digital-media niche status in 2012 and the introduction of its digital-media ALP and community-leadership LLP in 2015. Teachers were designated Character Coaches in 2018. These milestones provide context for the current programmes; they are not a comparison of the school’s results or pastoral effectiveness with other schools.
The current Visual Arts, Design and Media ALP moves from finding a community need to planning, making and communicating through photos and video. Cohort 1 focuses on photography, editing and photo journals; Cohort 2 covers storyboarding, videography and video editing. Projects explore themes such as sustainability, food and health, and a diverse society. The school distinguishes Tier 1 knowledge-building from Tier 2 personal projects through the Digital Media in Visual Arts CCA, so the CCA extension should not be assumed for everyone.
Loyang View Secondary School
Loyang View was established in 2018 through the merger of Loyang Secondary and Greenview Secondary. MOE’s history records design and engineering ALP and sports and outdoor education LLP from its founding year, a James Dyson Foundation partnership in 2021, and a student-designed polo shirt introduced in 2023. Its shared identity therefore has a specific recent beginning, even though families and alumni may remember the two predecessor schools. Historical awards are part of that record rather than a guarantee of a new pupil’s results.
The ALP describes Sec 1 pupils making solar cars from recycled materials and racing them, while Sec 2 investigates clean energy before designing a gadget for a sustainability problem. Sec 3 experiences include applied-science enrichment and work with Dyson engineers on air pollution and prototyping. All Sec 1 and 2 pupils have the opportunity to participate in STEM Playground. Families can ask how projects are assessed and which Sec 3 modules suit their child, rather than assuming an engineering partnership means every pupil receives the same industry placement.
