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.

Mayflower Secondary School
Mayflower Secondary began in 1981 with 408 pupils in Ang Mo Kio and officially opened on 15 July 1983. Space constraints led it to use two campuses from 2001, including the former Bowen Secondary site. It came together in a new building in 2005, with a 200-seat theatrette and dance studio. That history is relevant to its present arts emphasis, though the school’s programme pages give a better guide to current access than old anniversary accounts or alumni destinations.
Effective Communication is the ALP. English activities include Secondary 1 speech and drama and Secondary 2 journalism and broadcasting; mother tongue follows a different sequence, with Secondary 1 reading, Secondary 2 speech and drama, and Secondary 3 journalism and broadcasting. Pupils practise scripts, presentations and reporting. More advanced workshops in translation, debate or recital depend on interest and aptitude, with selected pupils entering competitions. The webpage retains some older stream labels, so families should ask how the current cohort’s subject levels map to those activities.
