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.

Hua Yi Secondary School

Hua Yi started in 1956 as a government Chinese middle school on Fowlie Road. It moved through Winstedt Road and Margaret Drive before later operating at Depot Road, and reached its present Jurong West Street 42 premises in December 1999. MOE records English classes beginning in 1979 and the end of pre-university enrolment. Its heritage also includes xinyao compositions and bonsai cultivation. These explain the school’s cultural roots; they do not make today’s secondary programme a Chinese-only course or a pre-university route.

The August 2026 ALP page says Secondary 1 now uses micro:bit kits, transitioning from M5GO, for block-based coding and design projects. Secondary 2 progresses to AI for Fun using AI EF and ET Kit 2 hardware, while Secondary 3 has applied modules through polytechnics and ITE. The same page retains a pupil reflection about M5GO, so that account should not overwrite the newer equipment description. An overseas Taiwan exchange is described for a group of students, rather than as travel automatically available to everyone.
