St. Anthony's Canossian Secondary School

What St. Anthony's Canossian Secondary School does

St. Anthony's Canossian Secondary School (SACSS) is a Singapore government-aided Catholic girls' secondary school located at 1600 Bedok North Avenue 4, operating under the Ministry of Education (MOE) since 1995 on a 2.3-hectare campus. Founded in 1879 and administered by the Canossian Sisters since 1894, the school is one of Singapore's oldest educational institutions and was conferred Autonomous status in 2002. It serves female students across Secondary 1 to 5, with intake governed by MOE's centralized posting system, the Direct School Admission (DSA) exercise for talent areas, and limited transfer appeals.

The school offers a Full Subject-Based Banding (FSBB) curriculum — a national initiative SACSS has piloted since 2022 — across seven academic departments (English, Mathematics, Mother Tongue, Humanities, Science, Physical Education, and Aesthetics). Its signature niche is Performing Arts Education, formalized in 2004, which delivers Music and Drama to all Lower Secondary students and supports eight performing arts CCAs that have achieved repeated Certificates of Distinction at the Singapore Youth Festival. Complementary programmes include a Digital Literacy curriculum based on the Find-Think-Apply-Create (FTAC) framework aligned with MOE's EdTech Masterplan 2030, a Makerspace for design thinking and rapid prototyping, Values-In-Action (VIA) service learning, and a Student Leadership programme anchored in the Kouzes and Posner Leadership Challenge Model. The school holds strategic partnerships with LASALLE College of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore, SOTA, Science Centre Singapore, and Catholic Welfare Services.

Financially, SACSS does not operate a commercial revenue model. It is primarily funded by MOE, with school fees payable over 12 months by parents (or via Edusave accounts for Singapore citizens) and supplementary financial aid channelled through the MOE Financial Assistance Scheme and the school's own bursary programmes (SACSS Care Fund, Grace Chew Compassion Fund, Thio Ying Ying Bursary Award). The institution has approximately 35 staff and is governed by a School Management Committee chaired by Mr. Beh Jit Han, with current Principal Ms Fiona Koh Yuann Tyng leading the 2026 theme "Shine Peace to Our World."
