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.

Queensway Secondary School

Queensway Secondary opened at Margaret Drive in 1961. MOE’s history describes growth to two sessions and additional classroom blocks as the neighbourhood expanded. Mei Chin Secondary merged with it in 2000 and Buona Vista Secondary in 2001; the upgraded school’s official opening followed in 2003. The history records environmental science and sports-and-outdoor-education signature programmes introduced in 2014. Those are historical milestones: the current July 2026 LLP page instead describes Community Youth Leadership, so an older programme label should not stand in for today’s published curriculum.

The Applied Learning Programme gives all S1 pupils water-treatment learning, energy-from-water activities and a sea-perch construction project for navigation and water testing. S2 content moves to nutrition, food production, innovation and waste management. A separate Tier 2 AI programme covers generative AI, art and coding, and microcontroller applications; its public page does not specify selection criteria or guarantee access to every pupil. These are clearer points of comparison than a general claim that a school teaches sustainability: families can ask what their child will build, test and explain.
