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.
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.
