Get to know each school
Regent Secondary School
Regent Secondary opened in 2000 at Unity Secondary School before moving to 50 Choa Chu Kang North 5 in 2001. MOE records a concert-band niche in 2013, an underwater-robotics Applied Learning Programme in 2014 and community and youth leadership as its Learning for Life Programme from 2016. The current ALP page identifies resource sustainability as the focus from 2024. Families should therefore distinguish historical robotics descriptions from the programme described for today’s pupils, rather than assume the earlier provision remains unchanged.
The resource-sustainability ALP links food and water issues with subjects including English, Geography, Science, Mathematics and Nutrition & Food Science. Published examples include interdisciplinary learning journeys, student-initiated learning during home-based learning and cohort VIA projects with community partners. A second tier offers external forums, competitions and conservation advocacy. These are described opportunities, not confirmation that every pupil takes every trip or competition. ALP is non-examinable, so parents can ask how projects fit alongside assessed subjects and how specialist opportunities are allocated.
Springfield Secondary School
Springfield was established on 21 December 1992 as Tampines West Secondary School and moved to Tampines Avenue 8 in June 1993. The school and its rock wall officially opened in September 1995. In 1998, Operation Beacon brought members of the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped on a Mount Kinabalu climb; rock climbing received niche status in 2008. These are historical milestones in outdoor learning and community service, rather than a promise that current pupils all undertake the same expedition.
The current STEM ALP describes Secondary 1 health and food science: reading nutrition information, understanding ingredients, digestion and energy needs through experiments and practical activities. Secondary 2 applies biology and food science to urban farming, including models of vertical gardens and farm layouts, measurement and engineering design. The school describes an industrial learning journey to urban farms. This is clearer evidence of curriculum content than a general claim about innovation, but it does not establish improved eating habits or a farming visit for every future cohort.
