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.

Pei Hwa Secondary School

Pei Hwa Secondary began in January 2005 and officially opened on 28 July 2007. The Pei Hwa Foundation, formed by alumni of the former Pei Hwa Public School, supplies bursaries and scholarships; this connection does not mean the present secondary school began in the former school’s founding year. The opening launched a Jalan Kayu Heritage Trail. Later developments included the indoor sports hall in 2018 and Full Subject-Based Banding pilot participation in 2020. In 2023, project work was repositioned as the Future Leaders Programme, integrating technology, leadership and community needs.

The Robotics and Programming ALP joins the Community Youth Leadership LLP through the Future Leaders Programme. Secondary 1 projects address the school’s immediate context; Secondary 2 widens the focus to the external community and environment. Streamnovation Week includes a level-wide making challenge plus optional visits, talks and making activities. Maker Monday is an interest group, rather than the whole cohort’s weekly entitlement. The school’s hackathon is for primary-school competitors: participating secondary pupils can train as assistant maker coaches and facilitators. That distinction prevents a primary outreach competition being mislabelled as every secondary pupil’s contest.
