Get to know each school

Juying Secondary School

Juying began in 1995 at Pioneer Secondary while the former Jurong Institute premises were adapted. It moved to 33 Jurong West Street 91 on 12 June 1995 and officially opened on 18 July 1997. A 1999 extension enabled a single session; PRIME work from 2009–2012 added facilities including an indoor sports hall and dance studio. The heritage page records an earlier arts LLP, but the present LLP page describes PASSION! @ Juying, so the older programme title should not be carried forward as its current framework.

The oracy ALP gives cohort workshops and curriculum speaking opportunities from Secondary 1 to 4–5. The page describes lower-secondary show-and-tell work, Secondary 3 research and presentation training, and graduating-level interview, application-writing and e-portfolio preparation for EAE or DSA. Interested Secondary 1–2 pupils may enter a talent-development route. Speech and Drama members, student leaders and the talent pool have more extensive opportunities, such as emceeing, reporting or ambassadorship. Those selected roles and competitions are distinct from the common cohort training.

West Spring Secondary School

West Spring Secondary began operating in 2001 at Zhenghua Secondary, then occupied the former Teck Whye Secondary campus in 2002. Students and staff moved to the Senja Road premises in December 2004, after the pioneer cohort had completed its time at the school. The official opening followed in September 2005. Its history also records selection for the Full Subject-Based Banding pilot in 2019 and mixed form classes in 2021. Early examination percentages and award tables are historical, not a prediction of outcomes for a new intake.

The current ALP is Advocating for Sustainability (ActS), rather than simply the media-literacy programme named in its older history. The page describes 2025 Sec 1 projects on environmental waste, with design-thinking work, reflections, infographics and advocacy to patrons at Senja Hawker Centre. Sec 2 projects addressed the needs of seniors and children through social-service partnerships. These examples explain how communication and community work fit together. They are dated cohort activities; families should confirm the next intake’s projects and how contributions are assessed within a group.
