Get to know each school
Jurongville Secondary School
Jurongville and Hong Kah Secondary both received their first Secondary 1 pupils in 1994. They merged in January 2019 after the decision was announced in April 2017. The merged school retained Jurongville in English and 丰嘉中学 in Chinese, with a refreshed uniform and crest drawing on both communities. This matters when reading older accounts: a pre-2019 experience of either constituent school is not automatically a description of the present merged school.
The ALP, Real-World Learning Through Electronics, introduces Secondary 1 and 2 pupils to electronics and coding through drone activities, block-programmed robots and creating online games. Upper-secondary options described on the page include Electronics, Smart Electrical Technology and short polytechnic learning modules, matched to strengths and interests. Pupils with a stronger interest may represent the school in STEM competitions. The distinction is useful: the lower-secondary exposure is broad, while specialised subjects, external modules and competition places require separate consideration.
Manjusri Secondary School
Manjusri’s history starts with the Singapore Buddhist Federation’s 1974 decision to establish a secondary school. The first pupils entered in 1982; the Sims Drive building opened officially in 1984. It began operating at Ubi Avenue 1 in November 2008, beside affiliated Maha Bodhi School, before the campus’s official opening in April 2010. The four virtues of its motto were represented in sculptures unveiled in 2022. That history explains its identity without implying that every pupil has the same religious background.
The Smart City and Assistive Technologies ALP asks groups of four or five pupils to learn programming and sensor functions with older people and less-abled users in mind. Sec 1 starts with the Potato Pirates card game, micro:bit connections and coding; Sec 2 develops and shares assistive designs and explores F1-car applications. Sec 3 and later experiences are labelled talent development, including Infineon production processes, polytechnic modules and engineer job shadowing. Those later opportunities should not be read as placements guaranteed to every student.
