Get to know each school

Christ Church Secondary School

Christ Church began as a private Anglican school on Dorset Road in 1953. It became fully government-aided and took the secondary-school name in 1973, moved to the former Victoria School premises on Tyrwhitt Road in 1985, and relocated to Woodlands in 2001. The Woodlands campus was officially opened in 2004. Woodlands South MRT opened beside the school in 2020; the current FAQ places the back gate next to that station and also identifies bus services from Woodlands interchange.

Health Science and Technology@CHR introduces Secondary 1 to computational thinking, electronics and a group project. Secondary 2 uses design thinking to develop healthcare or assistive products with partners including Woodlands Health Campus and Republic Polytechnic. The separate CHOPE health-advocate route is for interested students, involving medical professionals, seniors and wellbeing outreach. The science department also describes a lower-secondary miniature-zipline project using recycled materials, connected to resilience-camp learning. Research fairs and technical-skills competitions are stretch opportunities for pupils showing interest and potential.

Evergreen Secondary School

Evergreen Secondary opened in 2000 with 320 students and 12 teaching staff, moving to 11 Woodlands Street 83 in June that year. MOE's history records its North Zone Centre of Excellence in National Education designation in 2003, followed by NE awards in 2004 and 2008. Later developments included communication-based applied learning in 2015 and sports-based learning for life in 2016. These are dated milestones rather than a present-day ranking. They help explain why public communication, citizenship and sport recur in the current programme descriptions.

The current ALP is titled Bilingual Voices, Active Citizens. It links communication in English and Mother Tongue Languages with discussion of real-world and civic issues. Its lower-secondary Music component uses writing and performing raps to help pupils express their perspectives. This gives a concrete classroom activity behind the programme name. The page's introductory claim about musical talent is broader than the detail in its body: it does not establish specialist music tuition, an audition pathway or proven gains in bilingual proficiency for every pupil.
