Get to know each school

Cedar Girls' Secondary School

Cedar Girls’ Secondary was established in 1957 at its Sennett Estate premises with 18 teachers. Its history describes a track-and-field tradition dating to the 1960s, single-session schooling from 1992 and autonomous status in 1996. The Victoria-Cedar Alliance began in 2012. The history page also announces rebuilding of the track in 2026; it does not confirm completion. These are secondary-school milestones, distinct from the similarly named Cedar Primary and its mergers.

For the 2027 intake, the DSA page distinguishes a four-year SEC Programme from the six-year Victoria-Cedar Alliance IP, with four years at Cedar and two at Victoria Junior College. The IP page describes collaboration in CCAs, leadership and talent development. The FAQ says some pupils may be invited to consider changing track after lower secondary, based on performance and learning disposition. It also says Cedar has no affiliated junior college; IP progression to VJC should not be confused with an affiliation bonus for SEC applicants.

Changkat Changi Secondary School

Changkat Changi began in 1966 on a small hill at Jalan Tiga Ratus. Its pupils included children from Pulau Ubin and Pulau Tekong, who travelled by morning and evening ferry. Lessons initially used English, Mandarin and Malay; English became the teaching language by 1973. The school moved to 23 Simei Street 3 in 2001. Its aviation ALP started in 2015. These dates help distinguish stories about the original campus from the school families visit today.

All lower-secondary pupils attend weekly SOAR lessons on flight principles, glider construction and drone programming. Further opportunities depend on interest and aptitude: flying-machine competitions, Singapore Polytechnic or Rolls-Royce workshops, and aviation exchanges. The page records French exchanges in May 2024 and Shanghai and Hong Kong travel in November 2025; these are past examples, rather than trips promised to every child. Applicants without prior STEM experience may be assessed on potential. Pupils admitted through this DSA talent area commit to relevant activities from Years 1 to 4.
