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.
Westwood Secondary School
Westwood Secondary accepted its first 200 pupils in January 2000 in a block at Hua Yi Secondary. MOE’s history records a move to 11 Jurong West Street 25 in December 2000, campus handover in February 2001 and official opening on 12 November 2002. The Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship ALP followed in 2013, Arts for Life! LLP in 2015, and an indoor sports hall and gallery in 2016. These dates explain how its identity developed; they do not measure current class sizes or teaching quality.
The ISE page describes a design-thinking process of understanding users, identifying problems, and developing and testing solutions. Its foundation examples are a Sec 1 Sustainability Challenge and Sec 2 Entrepreneurship Challenge. Advanced development lists industry mentorship, competitions, sustainability projects and e-portfolios. Because this page also serves as a DSA talent description, families should ask which experiences are baseline for all pupils and which require selection. A project or pitch can show how a child thinks, but a list of desired outcomes does not prove every student becomes an entrepreneur.
