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. Gabriel's Secondary School
St Gabriel’s School began in 1953 with 212 pupils, spanning primary and early secondary levels. It became a full school in 1958 and split into separate primary and secondary schools in 1969. The secondary school remained on Upper Serangoon Road before moving to Serangoon Avenue 1 at the end of 1992. Its golden jubilee was celebrated in 2003. Later heritage projects included a replica of the old gate in 2016 and a time capsule sealed in 2018 for opening in 2053. This gives the campus’s history some context without assuming the primary school’s current programmes apply to the secondary school.
The Applied Learning Programme focuses on aviation and future transportation. The school describes recognition as a CAAS Aviation Initiative School and a partnership with Boeing Singapore. Secondary 1 pupils learn flight principles and design, build and test an unpowered glider; Secondary 2 introduces drone operations, basic coding, navigation, AI and automation. AeroWings uses simulation software for aircraft controls and flight missions. The page also lists competitions, workshops, learning journeys and overseas trips. Those enrichment platforms need cohort-specific confirmation: they are not a pilot licence, an industry placement or a promise that every pupil travels overseas.
