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.

St Andrew's School (Secondary)

The school dates its founding to 8 September 1862, when the Anglican Church adopted an earlier Chin Chew Street institution. The Woodsville campus opened in 1940; the secondary school later used a new Potong Pasir site in 1986, before returning to Woodsville in December 2004 as part of St Andrew’s Village. The Village officially opened in August 2006. On 8 September 2025, the junior and secondary schools were renamed St Andrew’s School (Junior) and St Andrew’s School (Secondary), reflecting their shared identity rather than a newly established school.

The science page describes Secondary 1 investigations of Kallang River water quality and its ecosystem, followed by Secondary 2 ecological surveys at the park connector. In the Therapeutic Garden, pupils compare heat absorption across surfaces and containers using data loggers. Upper-secondary science offerings include Biology, Chemistry, Physics and combined-science options. The subject list does not guarantee every combination to every pupil. These practical descriptions show how scientific inquiry is introduced; they do not establish competition entry for all students or measured environmental outcomes.
