Get to know each school
Clementi Town Secondary School
Clementi Town Secondary opened in 1980. Its computing history includes a 1994 Apple Macintosh laboratory under the Smart Classroom pilot and a 1997 IT masterplan. After PRIME upgrading, the school returned to its Clementi campus in 2008. Students and alumni began staging biennial musicals in 2009, starting with To Kill a Mockingbird. In 2015 it received its STEM ALP and leadership-through-uniformed-groups LLP. These milestones explain its programme background without implying that every former initiative continues unchanged.
The MARS ALP integrates STEM skills into lower-secondary English, Mathematics and Science. Its second tier offers interested students deeper workshops, enrichment and competitions. Science-in-Action involves Secondary 2 and 3 pupils in a year-long project with a teacher or tertiary mentor; computing extensions include AI and coding projects. The school documents 17 Secondary 3 pupils taking part in a May 2024 Hwa Chong computing exchange, and projects such as a recyclable-sorting machine and canteen queue estimator. These are examples of extended participation, not the experience promised to every student.
Geylang Methodist School (Secondary)
Geylang Methodist's origins lie in a class of 27 girls within Geylang Chinese Methodist Church in 1924. Secondary classes began in 1950. In 1984 the institution split into separate primary and secondary schools and became co-educational; the secondary school became single-session in 1999. The schools marked their centenary in 2024 with The Living Gallery heritage museum. The shared heritage should not blur their different programmes: the secondary school's sustainability ALP is distinct from the primary school's English communication programme.
The Tier 1 ALP is integrated into science for all lower-secondary pupils, with one hour a week over ten weeks. Secondary 1 investigates the urban heat-island effect, while Secondary 2 explores urban agriculture through experiments, fieldwork and a mini-project. Tier 2 is for interested Secondary 3 pupils seeking further STEM work. This is a useful distinction between scheduled general exposure and additional opportunities. Parents can ask what the project demands, how work is assessed and how pupils with different science subject levels are supported.
