Get to know each school
Guangyang Secondary School
Guangyang traces its roots to Kong Yiong School, founded in 1918 to offer Chinese primary education. It became Kong Yiong High School in 1959, then split into primary and secondary schools in 1984. MOE records the secondary closure in 1986, a new Bishan school in 1987 and an official opening in 1990. Guangyang Secondary merged with Braddell-Westlake in 2006. The primary school’s separate relocation belongs to a different stage; its later programmes should not be attributed to the secondary school.
The STEM ALP runs during curriculum time for all lower-secondary pupils. Secondary 1 designs and tests solar-powered cars, applying energy, forces and motion through prototypes and a friendly race. Secondary 2 investigates a fictional case using fingerprints, simulated drug tests and an autopsy report, ending with a written report. Food security and hydroponics are other stated themes. These are classroom applications of science; the forensic exercise is not a real criminal investigation or professional qualification.
Presbyterian High School
The first Li Sun High School pupils arrived on 4 January 1965 at premises lent by Ming Sin School, off Upper Serangoon Road. The name honoured missionary Alan S. Moore Anderson through his Chinese name. The move to Ang Mo Kio and adoption of the Presbyterian High name came in the 1980s. MOE’s heritage account records PRIME redevelopment in 2000 and the opening of the new premises in 2004. Its Christian mission remains part of the school’s stated character-development approach.
The current ALP covers all lower-secondary pupils through Health and Food Science. Secondary 1 pupils use design thinking to prototype soap products and test their effectiveness in reducing virus transmission; the page also describes AI-assisted packaging design. Secondary 2 pupils code micro:bit prototypes around food security. A separate Tier 2 offers learning journeys and STEM competitions, including app development. These descriptions should not be confused with the older forensic and pharmaceutical science programme in the school’s history.
