Get to know each school
Chung Cheng High School (Yishun)
Chung Cheng High Yishun shares its 1939 origins with Chung Cheng Main. When the Goodman Road campus opened in 1947, the original Kim Yam Road campus became the Branch school. It moved to Guillemard Road in 1969, began English-stream classes in 1981, and operated across Guillemard and a Sembawang holding site during preparations for the northern move. The completed Yishun campus brought a new name in 2005; its official opening followed on 30 June 2006.
The aesthetics LLP lists Secondary 2 design-thinking and interest-based workshops, Secondary 1 interactive-video work, photography and engagement with artists. Its tiered structure also includes exhibitions and competitions; the page does not establish that every student receives every listed opportunity. MOE records a food science and technology ALP introduced in 2014. The current ALP page has little readable detail, so families should confirm today's year-level content rather than assume the historical description is the full current programme.
Greendale Secondary School
Greendale Secondary welcomed its first 320 Secondary 1 pupils on 2 January 2006 and officially opened in 2007. MOE records its first Secondary 4 graduating cohort in 2009, the launch of design-and-engineering and outdoor-adventure programmes in 2014, and Subject-Based Banding for the 2017 Secondary 1 cohort. Those milestones describe the secondary school’s development; they should not be confused with nearby Greendale Primary or used as current subject-placement criteria.
The ALP gives Secondary 1 pupils coding and electronics work with Arduino, including LEDs, buzzers and servo motors, alongside CAD and 3D printing. Secondary 2 adds Annikken Andee interfaces that control projects from mobile devices, plus exposure to AI and drones. The SIT Community Challenge brings pupils together with community organisations to develop solutions and pitch them to judges. The published programme awards YEA (Applied Learning) after completing the Secondary 1–2 programme. Overseas STEM trips and upper-secondary competitions involve selected students.
