Get to know each school
CHIJ Katong Convent
Katong Convent began in 1930 as a private English primary school on Martia Road, with 197 pupils. During the war it used Ceylon Road premises and the name Ceylon Road Girls’ School. It later developed a strong tradition of literature, choral speaking and Shakespeare productions. After the primary section merged with Opera Estate Convent in 1990, Katong Convent operated solely as a secondary school at Marine Terrace. The school gained autonomous status in 2003; primary-school experiences belong to the separate CHIJ Katong Primary entry.
The Communicative, Performing and Visual Arts programme uses three levels: experience for everyone, enrichment for an identified group, and extension for pupils ready for further challenge. Upper-secondary pupils offering Art can access the Enhanced Art Programme’s artist workshops and learning journeys. The Drama Elective Programme describes practical and theoretical theatre study, artist-led masterclasses and performance experiences. The selected drama page still uses O-Level terminology; families choosing a future examination cohort should check the applicable subject name and entry requirements instead of assuming every pupil takes drama as an examination subject.

Junyuan Secondary School
Junyuan Secondary began in January 1999 with 280 pupils and 17 staff, according to its school history. The account describes successive phases of development, from school values to the Champion Mindset and innovation. These are historical descriptions of the school’s direction, rather than current enrolment figures. Junyuan Secondary and Junyuan Primary are separate schools, so primary-school programmes and parent experiences should not be used to describe this secondary campus. The present programme pages provide the stronger basis for understanding what a prospective Secondary 1 pupil would encounter.
The FISH ALP stands for Food, Innovation, Science and Health. Secondary 1 Food and Consumer Education culminates in a mini-MasterChef, while Geography considers rice cultivation and sustainability and Malay explores grains in different cultures. Secondary 2 uses nutritional choices in camp orienteering and a MasterChef cook-off. Upper-secondary examples include coffee making, tea appreciation, mushrooms and alternative proteins. The concrete theme connects subject knowledge with preparing food and evaluating choices. Competitions and learning journeys extend that work, with participation details to be checked for the particular cohort.
