Get to know each school
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.
St. Gabriel's Secondary School
St Gabriel’s School began in 1953 with 212 pupils, spanning primary and early secondary levels. It became a full school in 1958 and split into separate primary and secondary schools in 1969. The secondary school remained on Upper Serangoon Road before moving to Serangoon Avenue 1 at the end of 1992. Its golden jubilee was celebrated in 2003. Later heritage projects included a replica of the old gate in 2016 and a time capsule sealed in 2018 for opening in 2053. This gives the campus’s history some context without assuming the primary school’s current programmes apply to the secondary school.
The Applied Learning Programme focuses on aviation and future transportation. The school describes recognition as a CAAS Aviation Initiative School and a partnership with Boeing Singapore. Secondary 1 pupils learn flight principles and design, build and test an unpowered glider; Secondary 2 introduces drone operations, basic coding, navigation, AI and automation. AeroWings uses simulation software for aircraft controls and flight missions. The page also lists competitions, workshops, learning journeys and overseas trips. Those enrichment platforms need cohort-specific confirmation: they are not a pilot licence, an industry placement or a promise that every pupil travels overseas.
