Get to know each school

Evergreen Secondary School

Evergreen Secondary opened in 2000 with 320 students and 12 teaching staff, moving to 11 Woodlands Street 83 in June that year. MOE's history records its North Zone Centre of Excellence in National Education designation in 2003, followed by NE awards in 2004 and 2008. Later developments included communication-based applied learning in 2015 and sports-based learning for life in 2016. These are dated milestones rather than a present-day ranking. They help explain why public communication, citizenship and sport recur in the current programme descriptions.

The current ALP is titled Bilingual Voices, Active Citizens. It links communication in English and Mother Tongue Languages with discussion of real-world and civic issues. Its lower-secondary Music component uses writing and performing raps to help pupils express their perspectives. This gives a concrete classroom activity behind the programme name. The page's introductory claim about musical talent is broader than the detail in its body: it does not establish specialist music tuition, an audition pathway or proven gains in bilingual proficiency for every pupil.

Greendale Secondary School

Greendale Secondary welcomed its first 320 Secondary 1 pupils on 2 January 2006 and officially opened in 2007. MOE records its first Secondary 4 graduating cohort in 2009, the launch of design-and-engineering and outdoor-adventure programmes in 2014, and Subject-Based Banding for the 2017 Secondary 1 cohort. Those milestones describe the secondary school’s development; they should not be confused with nearby Greendale Primary or used as current subject-placement criteria.

The ALP gives Secondary 1 pupils coding and electronics work with Arduino, including LEDs, buzzers and servo motors, alongside CAD and 3D printing. Secondary 2 adds Annikken Andee interfaces that control projects from mobile devices, plus exposure to AI and drones. The SIT Community Challenge brings pupils together with community organisations to develop solutions and pitch them to judges. The published programme awards YEA (Applied Learning) after completing the Secondary 1–2 programme. Overseas STEM trips and upper-secondary competitions involve selected students.
