Get to know each school

Junyuan Secondary School

Junyuan Secondary began in January 1999 with 280 pupils and 17 staff, according to its school history. The account describes successive phases of development, from school values to the Champion Mindset and innovation. These are historical descriptions of the school’s direction, rather than current enrolment figures. Junyuan Secondary and Junyuan Primary are separate schools, so primary-school programmes and parent experiences should not be used to describe this secondary campus. The present programme pages provide the stronger basis for understanding what a prospective Secondary 1 pupil would encounter.

The FISH ALP stands for Food, Innovation, Science and Health. Secondary 1 Food and Consumer Education culminates in a mini-MasterChef, while Geography considers rice cultivation and sustainability and Malay explores grains in different cultures. Secondary 2 uses nutritional choices in camp orienteering and a MasterChef cook-off. Upper-secondary examples include coffee making, tea appreciation, mushrooms and alternative proteins. The concrete theme connects subject knowledge with preparing food and evaluating choices. Competitions and learning journeys extend that work, with participation details to be checked for the particular cohort.

Montfort Secondary School

MOE’s history traces Montfort to 1916 and records the separation of junior and secondary schools in 1974. The school’s history describes the move to Hougang Avenue 8 in January 1992 and return after PRIME upgrading in January 2012. The primary school’s 2028 admission of girls does not mean secondary entry changes in that year. In CNA’s April 2026 report, St Gabriel’s Foundation and MOE were still discussing secondary arrangements, while the foundation chairman intended girls to continue there when the first primary cohort graduated. Confirm the eventual secondary intake announcement.

Sec 1 ALP introduces programming, microcontrollers and electronics through design-thinking challenges. Sec 2 adds cloud computing and AI/ML examples, including image recognition, chatbots and self-driving-vehicle training, alongside more advanced electronics. One final product described is a blockchain-inspired smart savings bank that records spending and automates deposits. Further 3D-printing and laser-cutting workshops sit in Tier 2; Maker Club provides a CCA route for fabrication and tinkering. The progression distinguishes broad classroom exposure from the additional opportunities available to interested students.
