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.

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.
