Get to know each school

Fairfield Methodist School (Secondary)

Fairfield's origins lie in Sophia Blackmore's 1888 class for eight Peranakan girls. In 1983 it moved to Dover Road and became two co-educational schools. The secondary school went single-session in 1995 and gained autonomous status in 1996. Its current history explains the shared name, badge and Methodist mission, including the One Fairfield alignment in 2011. These links do not make the primary and secondary programmes interchangeable. The secondary school's rules explicitly describe daily devotions after the national anthem and pledge; families should understand how religious activities fit into school life.

The Full SBB page records mixed form classes for the 2023 Secondary 1 intake, sharing Art, CCE, Design and Technology, Food and Consumer Education, Music and PE. It also describes opportunities to take History at a more demanding level. However, the detailed thresholds refer to 2022 marks and older Express, Normal (Academic) and Normal (Technical) arrangements. A 2026 webpage update does not make those thresholds current for a new intake. Parents should request the incoming cohort's subject-level criteria and review arrangements instead of planning from the historical examples.

Fuhua Secondary School

MOE’s narrative dates Fuhua Secondary’s founding to 1999, with its first pupils in 2000 and official opening in 2002. It records robotics niche status in 2007, forensic-science ALP in 2015 and community-youth-leadership LLP in 2016. Later additions include the 2022 Living Lab for inquiry into plant growth and sustainability, and the 2024 i-GEN Studio for making and experimentation. Its chronology and programmes are separate from the much older Fuhua Primary; the similar names do not make their student experiences interchangeable.

All lower-secondary pupils undergo a one-year forensic-science programme. Lessons use hands-on investigation, moving through evidence, research, experiments, data interpretation and evaluation of findings. The page does not specify which lower-secondary year hosts that course. Specialist modules, such as digital forensics, are offered to selected pupils with a deeper interest. This gives a clear distinction between the common science experience and further study; a family should ask about the actual cohort schedule and how elective selection works.
