History

The completion of the original school building was in 1985. The building consist of 3 different schools: Yishun Secondary School, Yishun Town Secondary School and Yishun Junior College. In 1986, Yishun Secondary School & Yishun Town Secondary School shifted out of the building to Yishun Town Secondary School. Both of the schools were under different administration. Under Mr. Leong Kah Chong (from 1986-1995)'s guidance, they shifted back to the existing building. The official opening of the school was in 1988 by the MP for Nee Soon, Dr. Koh Lip Lin.

School crest

Our School Crest is in the shape of a drop of water that symbolises the thirst for knowledge.

  1. The branches represent our 6 core values that form the guiding principles underpinning the school's efforts in the holistic development of the pupils.
  2. The progressive growth of the branches indicates the different stages of learning our pupils have to go through before achieving their ultimate goal.
  3. The circle represents the fruits of labour that can be achieved through dedication, determination and self-discipline.

The blue background symbolises our pupils reaching out to seize the rich expanse of possibilities in the New Economy through innovation and enterprise.
