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.
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.
