Where is your schools?

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.
