Get to know each school
Hai Sing Catholic School
The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary founded Hai Sing Girls’ High School in 1959 to educate girls from less fortunate families. It became coeducational when it moved to Pasir Ris in 1990, and adopted the Hai Sing Catholic name in 1999. The school reports returning to 9 Pasir Ris Drive 6 in January 2026 after refurbishment from 2023 to 2025. Its account of the 17 April 2026 campus blessing connects that return with its mission-school origins, rather than presenting the school as newly established.
The school’s official FAQ says Catholic student leaders lead morning prayer. Non-Catholic pupils may pray according to their own faith or observe quietly; monthly Mass and Catholic formation are described for Catholic students. This gives families a more useful description of religious participation than the school label alone. The curriculum also includes service, citizenship and career exploration. For a child of another faith, the next useful question is how the school organises the timetable during Catholic-specific sessions and communicates those arrangements to parents.

St. Hilda's Secondary School
St Hilda’s traces its beginnings to Bethel English School, established on Ceylon Road in 1929. Archdeacon Graham White acquired it in 1934 and affiliated it to the Anglican Diocese. The school moved to Tampines and separated into primary and secondary schools in 1988; boys joined in 1989, and the two schools were officially opened in July 1990. In 2012, the secondary school’s Student Activity Centre opened with two indoor sports halls and a rooftop hockey pitch. Its 2024 ninetieth-anniversary programme included 90 Acts of Kindness. These milestones explain the school’s history without implying the primary and secondary curricula are interchangeable.
The iTHink Applied Learning Programme began with Secondary 1 in 2015. Its current description gives a progression: Secondary 1 has weekly Drama in Education lessons involving scripts, improvisation and speaking, plus an oracy project culminating in a podcast. Secondary 2 combines a local heritage learning journey with researched class debates. Secondary 3 brings together Social Studies issue investigation, CCE service and English advocacy in an integrated project. Pupils examine an issue, propose solutions and act on recommendations. These are specified learning activities; the stated aim of producing confident, caring and disciplined leaders is an aim rather than a measured result for every pupil.
