Crest Secondary School

Crest Secondary School's vision underscores our firm belief in our students' potential to succeed in their talents, areas of strength and passion, and our steadfast commitment in enabling them to realise their aspirations. As a Specialised School for Normal (Technical) students, we offer a four-year customised curriculum that integrates both academic learning and vocational training. Learning is practice-oriented, with an emphasis on skills development to better prepare our students for post-secondary learning at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) and for future employment.
