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.
Pasir Ris Secondary School
Pasir Ris Secondary opened on 2 January 1985 as the first secondary school in Tampines, initially borrowing Chongzheng Primary’s premises. It moved to Tampines Street 21 four months later and officially opened on 20 August 1987. Single-session operations began in 2000. After PRIME upgrading during 2006–07, the school returned to its current site in January 2008. This history distinguishes it from Pasir Ris Crest Secondary, a different school. Its longstanding Pride and Responsibility motto provides background, while current programme pages explain what pupils actually undertake.
Shine@PRSS is a broad-based music and performing-arts LLP, with a progression from exposure towards specialisation. Listed experiences include Cultural Fusion modules, theatre, MUSEIT and assembly showcases. Separately, Sec 1–2 Interdisciplinary Project Work uses the UN Sustainable Development Goals: pupils research national and international sources, then investigate issues at school or community level and engage stakeholders. STEAM is integrated into lessons and supported by a festival. These programmes offer different ways to apply learning; the published list does not promise every showcase or specialist arts pathway to every pupil.
