Vision

Achievers with Character, 21st Century jun zi

Mission

To provide students with a value-added education and opportunities to acquire knowledge, skills and values to deal confidently with the future.

Philosophy

At Punggol Secondary, we believe that education is a Journey of Self-Discovery where our students discover their strengths, weaknesses and talents and form their moral compass. Our committed teachers help to unleash the potential of our students, develop their talents and work with them to close learning gaps. We create a conducive environment to motivate our students to collaborate with one another and to be self-directed in their learning. We anchor our students deeply in our school values and aim to mould them into 21st Century gentlemen and ladies through a holistic education via the 5 domains - Cognitive, Moral, Physical, Social and Aesthetics. Our envisioned 21st Century student should be a scholar who is passionate in learning, active in physical activities and compassionate towards others, and a refined person capable of appreciating beauty and the Arts.

We believe in inculcating a love for reading across different disciplines through our school-wide morning Reading Programme to enhance exposure and interest in the different subject domains. We rolled out 1-to-1 Computing with Google Chromebooks in 2014 to equip our students with 21st Century skills and to promote self-directed and collaborative learning. The school was designated as a Google Reference School by Google Singapore this year. We embarked on our Applied Learning Programme on Environmental Education in 2016. This distinctive programme helps our students connect academic knowledge with the real world. In the same year, we also started our Learning for Life Programme on Community Youth Leadership where we structured our Values-In-Action programmes to provide platforms for our students to demonstrate the school values of Propriety, Righteousness, Integrity, and Self-Respect. Sec 1 students would draw up proposals to improve the school environment; Sec 2 students spread environmental conservation messages as HDB Heartland Ambassadors and connect with the community by leading in learning journeys to Lor Halus and Punggol Ecotown; Sec 3 students conduct service learning activities locally and the Sec 4/5 students mentor their juniors in fund raising for Teen Challenge and Boy's Town flag day. Our structured Aesthetics Programme aims to develop our students into refined young men and women capable of appreciating the Arts or participating in a performance. 'Building Character and School Pride through Volleyball' is a special programme in our school that aims to develop resilience, tenacity, and leadership in our students. With our specialised and customised training, many of our school team players have qualified to be in school teams in polytechnics and junior colleges.
