At Changkat Changi Secondary School, the Humanities Department fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the world. Through History, Geography, Social Studies and G1 Humanities, students explore human experiences, and global challenges. We encourage the use of inquiry and cultivate eCCE2021 communication skills, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to engage with the world as informed and empathetic citizens.

Our Secondary 2 students also go through a module which explores the interconnectedness between History and Geography, called Interdisciplinary Humanities.

We aspire for our students to develop the ability to think independently and make meaningful synergies across disciplines, and hope to nurture active contributors to society.

Key Programmes:

Student sharing on contemporary issues during Morning Assembly
Historical Investigation for Secondary 1 History

The Humanities Department also offers a Talent Development Programme for Secondary 2 G3 students who demonstrate a passion and aptitude for the Humanities. These students go through a structured modular TDP programme from Term 1-3, and are mentored by teachers who guide them on various Humanities topics and train them for competitions. The close teacher-student mentorship has enabled our students to win accolades at the following competitions:
