Get to know each school
Geylang Methodist School (Secondary)
Geylang Methodist's origins lie in a class of 27 girls within Geylang Chinese Methodist Church in 1924. Secondary classes began in 1950. In 1984 the institution split into separate primary and secondary schools and became co-educational; the secondary school became single-session in 1999. The schools marked their centenary in 2024 with The Living Gallery heritage museum. The shared heritage should not blur their different programmes: the secondary school's sustainability ALP is distinct from the primary school's English communication programme.
The Tier 1 ALP is integrated into science for all lower-secondary pupils, with one hour a week over ten weeks. Secondary 1 investigates the urban heat-island effect, while Secondary 2 explores urban agriculture through experiments, fieldwork and a mini-project. Tier 2 is for interested Secondary 3 pupils seeking further STEM work. This is a useful distinction between scheduled general exposure and additional opportunities. Parents can ask what the project demands, how work is assessed and how pupils with different science subject levels are supported.
Peicai Secondary School
Peicai Secondary was established in 1984 from Parry Secondary and Hwi Yoh Secondary, initially using the latter’s facilities. The school says its name combines the Chinese names of its two predecessors and means nurturing talents. Its current ALP pages describe Seek. Make. Advocate, while MOE’s school-history body still describes The Science of Food. The current school publication is used for the programme account below; the older description is not silently treated as the same curriculum. Past programmes and predecessor memories need their own dates and context when comparing with today’s school.
Seek. Make. Advocate was co-created with SUTD for Secondary 1–2. The common tier uses blended learning, coding, video editing and data analytics to investigate social causes, with Microbits or augmented reality among the tools for prototypes. Themes named include mental wellness and animal welfare. Selected project groups then pitch to the community and explore implementation with organisations. Those pitches are a further opportunity, not proof that every prototype is adopted or that all pupils work with an external partner. Programme aims such as resilience are not independently measured results.
