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.

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.
