It offers 15 CCAs.

School overview

MOE’s history places the school’s beginnings in October 1950 at Yio Chu Kang Road, with 14 classrooms and 11 classes. It later admitted a Chinese-medium stream before becoming fully English-medium again in 1976. The move to 1 Hougang Street 51 came in May 1999; upgrading and the indoor sports hall were completed in 2014. Its name therefore should not be used to infer the present neighbourhood. The heritage record dates the start of the environmental-science ALP and arts LLP to 2017, while current pages describe how those programmes operate today.

STEM@YCKPS links science, mathematics and ICT through problems, prototypes and design thinking. Tier 1 provides foundational experiences for all pupils; Tier 2 offers more complex investigations and design tasks; Tier 3 provides advanced training and mentorship for pupils developing strengths and representing the school. Assembly demonstrations, recess activities and group project work are also listed, with sustainability as a context. This does not establish that every pupil receives advanced mentorship or enters competitions. The useful distinction is between everyday exposure and the criteria for moving into deeper work.
