Get to know each school
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.
Chua Chu Kang Secondary School
The current school was formed by the 2023 merger of Chua Chu Kang Secondary and Teck Whye Secondary. It retains the English name Chua Chu Kang Secondary and the Chinese name 德惠中学. The former Chua Chu Kang school was established in 1992, with its pioneer intake in 1993; Teck Whye’s history dates to 1966. Older reviews of either predecessor describe a different school organisation. MOE’s earlier robotics history also needs to be read alongside the merged school’s current sustainability ALP.
Sustainable Living for a Resilient Future is the current ALP. Its published examples include farm-to-table work, Secondary 1 mushroom cultivation, recycling food waste, corridor farming and orchid pollination or hybridisation with visiting Japanese pupils. These examples show the kinds of applied work described, without establishing a place in every activity for every pupil. Community Youth Leadership connects this learning to residents: student leaders learned vegetable growing with NUS students and shared their work at the Chua Chu Kang Community Centre National Day carnival.
