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.

Deyi Secondary School

Deyi was established in 1980, initially as Teck Ghee Secondary, to serve the growing Ang Mo Kio community. It moved to its present premises at 1 Ang Mo Kio Street 42 in 2002. MOE records performing-arts niche status in 2005 and recognition as a cluster Centre of Excellence for Performing Arts in 2007. Those milestones give context to the school’s arts emphasis; they describe its development rather than establish how a particular child will experience lessons today.

Active Voice Broadcast Journalism gives all Secondary 1–4 pupils baseline media skills, including storyboarding, filming, animation, layered audio, green-screen work, editing and subtitles. The second tier extends broadcasts, podcasts and live streaming through the Young Journalists’ Club. Specialised training and competitions form a third talent-development tier. English lessons also use text annotation and Padlet, and the department describes differentiated instruction for pupils taking more demanding English. A baseline workshop and sustained journalist-club membership therefore involve different commitments.
