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.

Mayflower Secondary School

Mayflower Secondary began in 1981 with 408 pupils in Ang Mo Kio and officially opened on 15 July 1983. Space constraints led it to use two campuses from 2001, including the former Bowen Secondary site. It came together in a new building in 2005, with a 200-seat theatrette and dance studio. That history is relevant to its present arts emphasis, though the school’s programme pages give a better guide to current access than old anniversary accounts or alumni destinations.

Effective Communication is the ALP. English activities include Secondary 1 speech and drama and Secondary 2 journalism and broadcasting; mother tongue follows a different sequence, with Secondary 1 reading, Secondary 2 speech and drama, and Secondary 3 journalism and broadcasting. Pupils practise scripts, presentations and reporting. More advanced workshops in translation, debate or recital depend on interest and aptitude, with selected pupils entering competitions. The webpage retains some older stream labels, so families should ask how the current cohort’s subject levels map to those activities.
