Yuying Secondary School

What Yuying Secondary School does

Yuying Secondary School is a Singapore Government-Aided co-educational secondary school located at 47 Hougang Avenue 1, Singapore 538884, serving students in Secondary 1 through Secondary 5 across Express, Normal (Academic), and Normal (Technical) streams under the national Full Subject-Based Banding framework (piloted since 2020). Founded in 1910 by the Hainanese Community as Yock Eng High School, the school has 115 years of operating history and transitioned to English-medium instruction between 1981 and 1988 before adopting its current name and Hougang premises in 1985. In 2015, it signed a 30-year Government-Aided agreement with the Ministry of Education that secures its operating status through approximately 2045.

The school's curriculum spans English Language & Literature, Mother Tongue Languages, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Craft & Technology, Physical Education, and Music, supplemented by signature programmes: an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) built on design thinking partnerships with Singapore Institute of Technology and Super Bean International / Mr Bean; a Learning for Life Programme (LLP) called Yuying CARES focused on community and youth leadership; a STEM programme anchored in a Dyson-NTU sustainability collaboration; and Sustainability Education integrated school-wide. Co-curricular activity spans Physical Sports, Uniformed Groups (Boys' Brigade, Girls' Brigade, St John Brigade, NCC, NPCC), Visual & Performing Arts (Concert Band, Malay Dance, Chinese Dance, Guitar Ensemble, Guzheng Ensemble, 24 Seasons Drums), and Clubs & Societies (InnoTech Club, Eco EAGLES, Drama Club, Photography Club), with a record of 16 consecutive years of SYF Distinction for Concert Band and 5 consecutive for Malay Dance.

The school operates inside Singapore's national education infrastructure: Student Learning Space (SLS), the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) with Personal Learning Devices (Chromebooks), the eGiro fee payment system, the centralised DSA-Sec admissions portal (with SingPass authentication), and Parents Gateway (PG) for parent communications. Revenue is almost entirely MOE-funded; the only direct student fees are modest monthly amounts (S$5 miscellaneous fee for Singapore Citizens, scaling to S$2,190 for non-ASEAN international students) that defray part of the cost of education. Admissions flow through the national S1 Posting Exercise plus Direct School Admission (DSA-Sec) talent pipelines in Wushu, Volleyball (Girls), Concert Band, and Community Youth Leadership. Governance sits with a School Management Committee chaired by Mdm Lee Kim Moi, an active Alumni Association (founded 1994), and a Parent Support Group (PSG), under Principal Mr Chong Jack Sheng and four Vice-Principals.
