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.

West Spring Secondary School
West Spring Secondary began operating in 2001 at Zhenghua Secondary, then occupied the former Teck Whye Secondary campus in 2002. Students and staff moved to the Senja Road premises in December 2004, after the pioneer cohort had completed its time at the school. The official opening followed in September 2005. Its history also records selection for the Full Subject-Based Banding pilot in 2019 and mixed form classes in 2021. Early examination percentages and award tables are historical, not a prediction of outcomes for a new intake.
The current ALP is Advocating for Sustainability (ActS), rather than simply the media-literacy programme named in its older history. The page describes 2025 Sec 1 projects on environmental waste, with design-thinking work, reflections, infographics and advocacy to patrons at Senja Hawker Centre. Sec 2 projects addressed the needs of seniors and children through social-service partnerships. These examples explain how communication and community work fit together. They are dated cohort activities; families should confirm the next intake’s projects and how contributions are assessed within a group.
