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.
Yuying Secondary School
Yuying traces its beginnings to the Hainanese community in 1910, at Prinsep Street. Its Chinese history records wartime disruption and the July 1946 reopening, and says the primary section closed in 1983. The school moved to 47 Hougang Avenue 1 in December 1985 and adopted its present name; the new premises officially opened in August 1987. Its English and Chinese histories differ on when the secondary section began, so the founding year should not be read as a settled date for that section. A 2015 agreement continued its government-aided status with management-committee and alumni support.
The Applied Learning Programme combines Design Thinking with Critical Design Futures Thinking. Secondary 1 Eco-Innovators work with the Singapore Institute of Technology on problems such as canteen food waste. The Secondary 2 programme with Super Bean International, associated with Mr Bean, uses soya bean pulp to develop food products. These are named learning projects rather than a promise of an industry internship. Families can ask how much time pupils spend testing and revising a prototype, how teachers assess the process, and whether the incoming cohort will have the same partners and project brief.
