Introduction

At St. Gabriel’s Secondary, we believe in preparing students for the future of technology and innovation. Our Applied Learning Programme (ALP) – Aviation and Future Transportation gives students exciting hands-on exposure to the aviation industry, one of Singapore’s fastest growing sectors. As an Aviation Initiative School (AIS) recognised by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and in partnership with Boeing Singapore, our programme offers students real-world learning experiences inspired by practices in the aviation industry.

Through this programme, students will:

  • Explore how aircraft and drones work

  • Use real flight simulation tools

  • Learn through design challenges and coding

  • Develop problem-solving and innovation skills

  • Connect classroom learning to future careers

Our Gabrielite Flight & Aerospace Programme (GFA) aims to:

  • Spark curiosity about the aviation and aerospace industry

  • Offer meaningful hands-on learning experiences

  • Build future-ready leaders and innovators

  • Inspire lifelong learning in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics)

Programme Highlights

GFAM 1 – Introduction to Flight (Secondary 1)

Students are introduced to:

  • The history of aviation

  • Principles of flight and aerodynamics

  • Design and engineering basics

Capstone Project: Design, build and test unpowered glider

GFAM 2 – Drones & Future Technologies (Secondary 2)

Students dive deeper into:

  • Drone technology and flight operations

  • Basic drone coding and navigation

  • Introduction to AI and automation

AeroWings - Flight Simulation Programme

Using aviation simulation software, students learn:

  • Aviation Science

  • Aircraft controls and navigation

  • Realistic flight missions

Competitions & Enrichment

Students also take part in exciting platforms such as:

  • Singapore Amazing Flying Machine Competition (SAFMC)

  • The Boeing Challenge

  • Overseas Trips

  • Other aviation-related competitions, workshops and learning journeys

Students visit Boeing Global Services and Singapore Airshow, exploring flight simulators and cockpits up close.
Four photos show students at Boeing Challenge 2025, a flight simulator, a P6 outreach session, and an NYP aviation workshop.
Students engage in aviation activities: building gliders, reading maps, flight simulation, drone coding, and debugging.
