Where is your schools?

March 26th, 2007 by duntech

Schools move here, there, everywhere and LOST!

Where are your alma mater? If they had relocated,
you are lucky, many were disappeared… if not merged or changed names. To add salt, they replaced another unrelated schools to the old sites.

Swiss Cottage Pri /Sec School are no longer at Swiss Cottage Estate/ Dunearn
Road but in Bt Batok for the Sec Sch. So as Anderson Pri/ Sec School no longer
at Anderson Road but in Ang Mo Kio Even elite schools are not spared such as Raffles Institute, St Joseph, Chinese Girl’s School etc..

In Whitley Road you don’t find Whitley Pri /Sec School but S’pore Chinese Girl Sch
and yet Whitley Sec Sch is in Toa Payoh?

Dunearn Secondary (DSTS and DSS) schools are no longer in Dunearn Road / Hillcrest
Road, but relocated to Bukit Batok and Bt Panjang.

Worst! My alma matar (Duntech aka DSTS) had to change
her name to Greenridge Sec School, as there will be to 2 schools having the name "Dunearn".More story are found on
this site: www.dunearntechnical.com.

Where Duchess Primary School? Not in Duchess Road anymore, but ceased
existence so as Dunearn Intergrated Primary School. Farrer Primary School at
Farrer Road?

Why were schools moved out and replaced with anothers? Such Hillcrest Road’s
schools ( DSTS and DSS) were replaced by NJC and Raffles’ Girl Pri Sch.Nanyang
Girl High was from King Road relocated to old site of NJC and itself took over
my alma mater (DSTS) site.

Guess there are little left for us to reminisce if
authority keeps moving schools here, there and everywhere. By relocating another
unrelated schools to other old schools’ sites is uncalled for; especially the old
schools’ names were related to the road and estate names.Why don’t they let
the old schools return back to their original sites?

Look at Raffles Institution, how many times it needed
to move? Guess late ex-president Wee Kim Wee, MM-LKY, Tommy Tan, SM-GCT and some
of their children would not able to find the spot he used to piss. Could be from
where I’m working now (Raffles City).

For me, I remembered it where our toilets was. It’s located at the present principal
office of NJC.The other toilets are canteen and hall.
