Get to know each school
Chua Chu Kang Secondary School
The current school was formed by the 2023 merger of Chua Chu Kang Secondary and Teck Whye Secondary. It retains the English name Chua Chu Kang Secondary and the Chinese name 德惠中学. The former Chua Chu Kang school was established in 1992, with its pioneer intake in 1993; Teck Whye’s history dates to 1966. Older reviews of either predecessor describe a different school organisation. MOE’s earlier robotics history also needs to be read alongside the merged school’s current sustainability ALP.
Sustainable Living for a Resilient Future is the current ALP. Its published examples include farm-to-table work, Secondary 1 mushroom cultivation, recycling food waste, corridor farming and orchid pollination or hybridisation with visiting Japanese pupils. These examples show the kinds of applied work described, without establishing a place in every activity for every pupil. Community Youth Leadership connects this learning to residents: student leaders learned vegetable growing with NUS students and shared their work at the Chua Chu Kang Community Centre National Day carnival.

Edgefield Secondary School
Edgefield Secondary was established in 2011 and officially opened in July 2013. MOE records ALP and taekwondo LLP recognition in 2014, followed by mixed-stream form classes and a personalised-device pilot in 2019. Its history places those initiatives in the development towards Full Subject-Based Banding. That is useful context for its emphasis on technology and student choice, but a pilot designation is not proof of an individual child's friendships, learning progress or current classroom experience.
Growing the Edgefield Mindset uses future scenarios such as programming drones for a simulated earthquake search, designing for food or water scarcity, and modelling a floating city. These are learning scenarios, not actual disaster deployments. The school also documents ARTasFEST on 23 May 2025: Secondary 1 worked on merchandise with vendors, Secondary 2 coordinated food and beverages, and Secondary 3 designed carnival games. That dated event shows how entrepreneurial tasks were distributed across levels; it does not guarantee identical projects for every later cohort.
