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.

Edgefield Secondary School

Edgefield Secondary was established in 2011 and officially opened in July 2013. MOE records ALP and taekwondo LLP recognition in 2014, followed by mixed-stream form classes and a personalised-device pilot in 2019. Its history places those initiatives in the development towards Full Subject-Based Banding. That is useful context for its emphasis on technology and student choice, but a pilot designation is not proof of an individual child's friendships, learning progress or current classroom experience.

Growing the Edgefield Mindset uses future scenarios such as programming drones for a simulated earthquake search, designing for food or water scarcity, and modelling a floating city. These are learning scenarios, not actual disaster deployments. The school also documents ARTasFEST on 23 May 2025: Secondary 1 worked on merchandise with vendors, Secondary 2 coordinated food and beverages, and Secondary 3 designed carnival games. That dated event shows how entrepreneurial tasks were distributed across levels; it does not guarantee identical projects for every later cohort.
