Subjects offered
Computer applications
Computer Applications (CPA) is a compulsory subject offered to all students in the Normal (Technical) stream. The CPA syllabus prepares our students to be technologically adept and to function and contribute effectively in an increasingly technologically-driven world.
The CPA curriculum emphasises current technological developments and trends as well as core computer skills. Students will have opportunities to use various software such as Microsoft Suite, Inkscape, and Scratch to perform meaningful tasks.
In Secondary 2 and 3, students will engage in media computing projects to create animations and games respectively using Scratch. These projects provide outlets for students’ creativity besides reinforcing their learning. The best animation and game are submitted for the annual media computing competition.

The syllabus covers basic knowledge and skills in electricity, electronics, mechanical design and intelligent control that are relevant to technical courses at post-secondary level. It emphasizes the application and integration of technical knowledge and skills to design and build mobile robots for the performance of specified tasks.
KEY ICT PROGRAMMES
STUDENT ICT TRAINING FOCUS
The school has a structured training programme for all students to develop their skills in ICT which are critical for them in a technocentric society and workplace. This is coupled with values education and media literacy to ensure that our students are critical and civic users of ICT. We promote and support the use of ICT in teaching and learning to enhance the learning experience and deepen understanding. We encourage teachers to harness ICT for cultivating self-directed and collaborative learning in our students.
SCHOOL ICT INFRASTRUCTURE
To support these goals, we constantly review our existing infrastructure and hardware to ensure that our students’ learning and development are maximised. This also includes exploring new technologies and the potential of incorporating them into teaching and learning.
HOME-BASED LEARNING
We conduct Home-Based Learning (HBL) annually. This year, HBL was planned for all Secondary 1 to 3 students using the Student Learning Space (SLS) in the event of school closure due to haze. We helped teachers to develop ICT teaching resources and packages to be used in the classroom and in the SLS.
