Greenridge Secondary School

GSS was established in 1964 as Dunearn Secondary Technical School (DSTS)[1] at Hillcrest Road[2] with an enrolment of 900. On 14 May 1965, it was officially opened by Deputy Prime Minister Toh Chin Chye.[3]

As part of the relocation plans, DSTS moved out of Hillcrest Road Estate and was renamed Greenridge Secondary School.[2] It relocated again to the edge of Bukit Panjang New Town[2] in 1992 and two years later, on 16 July 1994, Lee Yiok Seng, Member of Parliament for Sembawang GRC, declared the school open.[3]

The school is one of the pioneer secondary schools in Holland–Bukit Panjang GRC and has hosted two other schools, Fajar Secondary School and Zhenghua Secondary School, in its 12-year history.

A new era on innovation and enterprise began in 2003 whereby science, design and information technology are combined to make pupils aware of the interconnectedness of subjects in an attempt to stimulate their interest in their studies and the ability to think out of the box. In 2006, GSS students represented the West Zone cluster for the National WITs Convention.

GSS will be merging with Fajar Secondary School in January 2023. The merged school will be called Greenridge Secondary School and will occupy Fajar Secondary School’s campus.
