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.

St Andrew's School (Secondary)

The school dates its founding to 8 September 1862, when the Anglican Church adopted an earlier Chin Chew Street institution. The Woodsville campus opened in 1940; the secondary school later used a new Potong Pasir site in 1986, before returning to Woodsville in December 2004 as part of St Andrew’s Village. The Village officially opened in August 2006. On 8 September 2025, the junior and secondary schools were renamed St Andrew’s School (Junior) and St Andrew’s School (Secondary), reflecting their shared identity rather than a newly established school.

The science page describes Secondary 1 investigations of Kallang River water quality and its ecosystem, followed by Secondary 2 ecological surveys at the park connector. In the Therapeutic Garden, pupils compare heat absorption across surfaces and containers using data loggers. Upper-secondary science offerings include Biology, Chemistry, Physics and combined-science options. The subject list does not guarantee every combination to every pupil. These practical descriptions show how scientific inquiry is introduced; they do not establish competition entry for all students or measured environmental outcomes.
