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.

Yuhua Secondary School
Yuhua Secondary opened in 1986 and officially opened its Jurong West Street 41 premises on 16 September 1988. Its 2019 merger with Shuqun brought in a much older heritage, tracing to Tuan Cheng Public School in 1925. That does not mean Yuhua itself was founded in 1925. The merged school continued at Yuhua’s premises and combined practices from both schools. Older references to CODER belong to that development history; the current ALP page calls its programme Yuhua Changemakers. A source about pre-merger Shuqun should retain that context rather than automatically describe today’s whole school.
The current common Applied Learning Programme focuses on environmental sustainability in Secondary 1, social innovation around the school community in Secondary 2, and student-initiated future-focused projects in Secondary 3–5. The page describes an annual Design Thinking Festival in the last week of Term 4. A targeted second tier has leadership and innovation strands, with a summit and opportunities for volunteering, job shadowing and internships. Those external experiences are not promised to every pupil. Families can ask what a typical common project looks like, how pupils test whether it helps users, and how the deeper tier is selected.
