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.

Hua Yi Secondary School
Hua Yi started in 1956 as a government Chinese middle school on Fowlie Road. It moved through Winstedt Road and Margaret Drive before later operating at Depot Road, and reached its present Jurong West Street 42 premises in December 1999. MOE records English classes beginning in 1979 and the end of pre-university enrolment. Its heritage also includes xinyao compositions and bonsai cultivation. These explain the school’s cultural roots; they do not make today’s secondary programme a Chinese-only course or a pre-university route.
The August 2026 ALP page says Secondary 1 now uses micro:bit kits, transitioning from M5GO, for block-based coding and design projects. Secondary 2 progresses to AI for Fun using AI EF and ET Kit 2 hardware, while Secondary 3 has applied modules through polytechnics and ITE. The same page retains a pupil reflection about M5GO, so that account should not overwrite the newer equipment description. An overseas Taiwan exchange is described for a group of students, rather than as travel automatically available to everyone.
