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.
Yuan Ching Secondary School
MOE records Yuan Ching’s establishment in 1978 as an English and Chinese integrated government school and its official opening on 28 August 1980. It became English-medium in 1988 and offered pre-university Arts and Commerce courses between 1987 and 1990. Those courses are historical, not current entry options. The campus was rebuilt from 2006–2009. MOE’s history also retains older Marine Robotics and sports-based programme names; the current school pages describe broader R.E.A.P engineering learning and Community Youth Leadership. Present programme descriptions should therefore be checked against those current pages.
The Applied Learning Programme’s common tier includes coding, an AI camera and land, marine and aerial robotics. Secondary 1 land robotics involves building remote-controlled vehicles; another project adds water-quality sensors to Seaperches for geographical investigation at Jurong Lake Gardens. A programme launched in 2024 uses temperature and humidity sensors with microgreens. Deeper-interest pupils have a separate talent-development route involving advanced construction, Python and other enrichment, with competitions at its higher end. These distinctions matter: shared exposure is not a guarantee of every specialist course, external visit or competition place for every pupil.
