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.

St. Anthony's Canossian Secondary School

St Anthony’s Canossian Secondary traces its roots to St Anna’s School, founded on Middle Road in 1879 for six children of poor parishioners. The Canossian sisters took over the girls’ school in 1894. The primary and secondary schools moved to adjoining Bedok North Avenue 4 premises in 1995; the secondary school gained autonomous status in 2002. These are shared historical roots, rather than evidence that the two schools offer the same programmes. The performing arts became part of the formal curriculum in 1998, and the school launched its arts niche and biennial Arts Alive! festival in 2004.

The current arts page says all lower-secondary students study Music and Drama, with eight performing arts CCAs providing further opportunities. Project work includes reflection on the creative process, while service learning connects performance with community activities. The school reports a LASALLE College of the Arts partnership since 2025, including contact with industry professionals and exposure to higher arts education. It also describes visits and workshops involving arts institutions. These are learning opportunities; the page does not establish guaranteed arts-school admission or the same external programme for every pupil.
