CHIJ St. Joseph's Convent

The school began at Flower Road in 1938 with 21 pupils, one nun and two teachers. Its primary section was later phased out, and it moved to Sengkang in 2000; the new school was officially opened in 2003. MOE’s history and the school’s own chronology disagree on the precise year of the earlier Hillside move and completion of the primary phase-out. Those disputed years are omitted here, rather than combined into a misleadingly precise timeline.

The four-year Applied Learning Programme, The Art of Communication Through Theatre and Debates, runs across the school. It connects speech and drama with English, Literature and Mother Tongue work: published examples include analysing stories, storyboarding, vlogs, speeches and discussions. Students also encounter performances, workshops and competitions. These are different kinds of participation; a class task does not imply a place in an external competition. Families interested in public speaking can ask how the classroom sequence leads to those additional opportunities.

CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent

MOE traces the beginnings to the Church of St Teresa’s efforts to educate poor children around Kampong Bahru in 1929. The school took the name CHIJ St Theresa’s Convent at Hood Lodge in 1933, with 25 pupils learning English and Tamil. Its primary section was phased out by 1992. It returned to its upgraded premises in 2011, with the campus officially opened in 2013. These dates distinguish the school’s early primary history from the secondary school families are considering now.

The Applied Learning Programme builds on Education for Life, which began in 1992. Its current theme is Portable Skills and Real-World Problem Solving. Secondary 1 examples include MacRitchie water testing, Science Centre learning and connections between the environment, poetry and community history. Secondary 2 explores sustainability through the Sustainable Singapore Gallery, coding and prototypes. Secondary 3 investigates how Khatib Central can be more inclusive. The published sequence is concrete, but does not itself establish how every pupil’s project is assessed or what individual fieldwork adjustments are available.
