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.

Kranji Secondary School

Kranji Secondary began in 1995 at Chestnut Drive Secondary before moving to 61 Choa Chu Kang Street 51 in 1996. It returned to its upgraded premises in December 2018 after PRIME works. Its ALP started in 2016 with a thinking curriculum and was repositioned in 2021 around design thinking for sustainable living. The history also records a community Mid-Autumn partnership dating from 2005. These milestones connect its current environmental projects and community leadership with longer-running strands of school life.

Lower-secondary pupils complete the year-long THINK programme, learning design thinking, research and information literacy before developing solutions to a sustainability issue. Published visits include farming and green-solution organisations, and pupils present work at a THINK carnival. Green Ambassadors are an interested group with additional responsibilities: facilitating an eco-trail, conserving Kranji Marshes, supporting a pollinator-friendly garden and teaching younger pupils about biodiversity. Those roles are more selective than the lower-secondary foundation. Some described campaigns have no clear event year, so the listed partners and visits are examples rather than an assured future itinerary.
