Get to know each school
Compassvale Secondary School
Compassvale Secondary began in 2000, spending its first six months at Sengkang Secondary before moving to Compassvale Crescent. The campus officially opened in 2002. MOE’s history records an aeronautics Applied Learning Programme and a community-and-youth-leadership Learning for Life Programme from 2016. The current programme pages show how those themes have developed: aeronautics now sits within ACES, while the current Learning for Life Programme is Green Compass, unified in 2024.
ACES covers Aeronautics, Coding, Engineering and Sustainability. All lower-secondary students take the formal programme, exploring flight principles and working on coding, engineering or green-design projects. The school gives examples such as a motor-operated toy car, a stationery holder with a potted plant and LED memo sheet, and a solar charger. Students completing the programme at the end of Secondary 2 receive Singapore Polytechnic’s Young Engineers Award (ALP). STEM elective modules and visits extend the classroom work. Competitions and specialist CCAs offer further development for talented or strongly interested students; participation in every extension is not promised.

Hai Sing Catholic School
The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary founded Hai Sing Girls’ High School in 1959 to educate girls from less fortunate families. It became coeducational when it moved to Pasir Ris in 1990, and adopted the Hai Sing Catholic name in 1999. The school reports returning to 9 Pasir Ris Drive 6 in January 2026 after refurbishment from 2023 to 2025. Its account of the 17 April 2026 campus blessing connects that return with its mission-school origins, rather than presenting the school as newly established.
The school’s official FAQ says Catholic student leaders lead morning prayer. Non-Catholic pupils may pray according to their own faith or observe quietly; monthly Mass and Catholic formation are described for Catholic students. This gives families a more useful description of religious participation than the school label alone. The curriculum also includes service, citizenship and career exploration. For a child of another faith, the next useful question is how the school organises the timetable during Catholic-specific sessions and communicates those arrangements to parents.
