Get to know each school

East Spring Secondary School

East Spring Secondary was established in 1999, initially operating at Junyuan Secondary before moving to Tampines Street 34. In 2019 it merged with East View Secondary, retaining the East Spring name and campus. The combined school adopted East View's Health Science ALP, replacing the earlier energy-themed programme recorded in MOE's history. Older reviews may therefore describe either predecessor school or a different programme. The history has differing entries for the exact campus-move year, so that detail is not treated as settled here.

The Mathematics department describes a Learning Support Programme for pupils with lower readiness, alongside ACE and Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad opportunities for higher-readiness learners. Classroom tools include GeoGebra and manipulatives, with an online resource repository and tasks applying maths to daily life. The school records competition results and an overseas learning journey, but these do not establish participation for every pupil or comparative teaching quality. Families should ask how support and enrichment placements are identified and reviewed, including for subjects taken at different levels.

Seng Kang Secondary School

Seng Kang Secondary began on 4 January 1999 as the first secondary school in the Sengkang housing estate. Its first 283 pupils occupied the former Hai Sing Girls’ High premises before moving to 10 Compassvale Lane on 12 March that year. The campus formally opened in July 2001. The anchor in its crest refers to the district’s earlier harbour identity. The temporary use of Hai Sing’s premises is part of its founding story; it does not mean the two schools were the same institution.

The dedicated ALP page describes Health Science and Technology, using Design Thinking and VIA learning journeys to understand real users’ needs. The 2027-intake DSA page instead describes “Food for the Future”, including urban farming and food investigations. Both remain published. Families should ask which description applies to their child’s cohort and how these activities fit together. The different titles alone do not establish that one programme has replaced the other.
