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.

St. Hilda's Secondary School

St Hilda’s traces its beginnings to Bethel English School, established on Ceylon Road in 1929. Archdeacon Graham White acquired it in 1934 and affiliated it to the Anglican Diocese. The school moved to Tampines and separated into primary and secondary schools in 1988; boys joined in 1989, and the two schools were officially opened in July 1990. In 2012, the secondary school’s Student Activity Centre opened with two indoor sports halls and a rooftop hockey pitch. Its 2024 ninetieth-anniversary programme included 90 Acts of Kindness. These milestones explain the school’s history without implying the primary and secondary curricula are interchangeable.

The iTHink Applied Learning Programme began with Secondary 1 in 2015. Its current description gives a progression: Secondary 1 has weekly Drama in Education lessons involving scripts, improvisation and speaking, plus an oracy project culminating in a podcast. Secondary 2 combines a local heritage learning journey with researched class debates. Secondary 3 brings together Social Studies issue investigation, CCE service and English advocacy in an integrated project. Pupils examine an issue, propose solutions and act on recommendations. These are specified learning activities; the stated aim of producing confident, caring and disciplined leaders is an aim rather than a measured result for every pupil.
