In 1980 the institution adopted English as its language medium. As student enrolment started to decline, the institution went co-educational in 1984 with the enrollment of male students, and was renamed "Nan Chiau High School".

Nan Chiau High School's uniform is closely linked to its heritage as a former traditional Chinese school. Originally, the school uniform was in full white with the Chinese name of the school sewed on the right chest level of the blouse, much similar to other institutions with Chinese heritage. Nearing the 1990s, the school uniform was switched to be worn with dark coloured school pants or pinafore, with dark coloured school tag was sewed on the left side of the shirt. The uniform was redesigned to suit the school's identity along with the relocation of the campus in 2000.

Currently, male students wear white studded shirts with Traditional Chinese characters of the school name on it in red. Navy blue shorts are worn in secondary 1 & 2, and long pants for upper secondary levels. Female students wear white blouses bearing the Traditional Chinese characters of the school name on it in red, with navy blue pleated skirts. During Assemblies and important functions, every student will wear a red-coloured school tie.

Methodist Girls' School (MGS) is a girls' independent school, consisting of two sections – the Primary School and Secondary School, located in Bukit Timah, Singapore. Its secondary section is affiliated to Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)("ACS(I)"), and have a joint Integrated Program ("IP") where students will move to ACS(I) in year 5 to complete their six-year IP with the ACS(I) cohort, without taking the "O" levels. The private preparatory school has had a history of academic, music and sporting excellence and is one of the top secondary schools in Singapore.

Upon admission, pupils are placed into one of the four houses in Methodist Girls' School. The selection is random, unless the student currently has any siblings or relatives attending the school.

The four houses are Blackmore, Jackson, Lee and Olson. Each house has a Senior Captain (Secondary 4), Junior Captain (Secondary 3), Treasurer, two Level Representatives for each of the respective levels, a Swimming Representative and a Sports Day Representative.

Houses gain points from participation in the annual Inter-House games and swimming meet.

Pupils are easily recognized by the unique uniform of the school, which has not changed since 1922. The uniform resembles a sailor's suit, consisting of a pinafore with an upper section in white and lower section in navy blue skirt; and a white blouse with a sailor collar, which is to be worn over and covers 60% of the pinafore. Under the pinafore, single-colored undergarments (with the choice of white, grey, beige, navy or black) and shorts may be worn.

A badge bearing the school crest is fastened between the lapels of the blouse. Prefects wear the school's tie in addition to the badge. Student leaders are distinguished by the badge worn on the left side of the blouse. The physical education (PE) uniform consists of shorts and a Collegiate T-shirt. For formal events, such as an external awards ceremony, a white blazer with the school crest is worn with the MGS tie and a long-sleeved blouse and skirt.

Mayflower Secondary School is a secondary school in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore. It was founded in 1981. The school provides 26 CCAs for its students. The school is well known in performing arts. In the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Central Judging of 2011, the school garnered 2 Golds and 5 Silvers. In the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Central Judging of 2013, the school garnered 5 Distinctions and 2 Accomplishments.

In 2007 the school embarked on a programme "Project Cool Running" to raise funds to equip the school hall with air-conditioning. This was organised by the Kebun Baru Community Club. The school celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 2011. The main 30th Anniversary Committee is headed by its Vice-Principal (Administration), Mark Chan.

Marsiling Secondary School was inaugurated as a result of a shortage of secondary schools, especially in anticipation of the record number of primary-school leavers in 2000. Mrs Choy Chee Meh was appointed the first principal of MSL, and acquisition of land at the current site began shortly after the decision to establish the school. Primary-school leavers had little interest in choosing MSL at first, compared with the long-established secondary schools in Woodlands.

However, staff and students built up the school's reputation by engaging new initiatives, such as the Apple-MOE Collaborations.
