Get to know each school

Seng Kang Secondary School

Seng Kang Secondary began on 4 January 1999 as the first secondary school in the Sengkang housing estate. Its first 283 pupils occupied the former Hai Sing Girls’ High premises before moving to 10 Compassvale Lane on 12 March that year. The campus formally opened in July 2001. The anchor in its crest refers to the district’s earlier harbour identity. The temporary use of Hai Sing’s premises is part of its founding story; it does not mean the two schools were the same institution.

The dedicated ALP page describes Health Science and Technology, using Design Thinking and VIA learning journeys to understand real users’ needs. The 2027-intake DSA page instead describes “Food for the Future”, including urban farming and food investigations. Both remain published. Families should ask which description applies to their child’s cohort and how these activities fit together. The different titles alone do not establish that one programme has replaced the other.

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.
