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.

Kranji Secondary School
Kranji Secondary began in 1995 at Chestnut Drive Secondary before moving to 61 Choa Chu Kang Street 51 in 1996. It returned to its upgraded premises in December 2018 after PRIME works. Its ALP started in 2016 with a thinking curriculum and was repositioned in 2021 around design thinking for sustainable living. The history also records a community Mid-Autumn partnership dating from 2005. These milestones connect its current environmental projects and community leadership with longer-running strands of school life.
Lower-secondary pupils complete the year-long THINK programme, learning design thinking, research and information literacy before developing solutions to a sustainability issue. Published visits include farming and green-solution organisations, and pupils present work at a THINK carnival. Green Ambassadors are an interested group with additional responsibilities: facilitating an eco-trail, conserving Kranji Marshes, supporting a pollinator-friendly garden and teaching younger pupils about biodiversity. Those roles are more selective than the lower-secondary foundation. Some described campaigns have no clear event year, so the listed partners and visits are examples rather than an assured future itinerary.
