Thomson Secondary School 德新中学 (Formerly Thomson Government Chinese Middle School 前德新政府华文中学)




1956 - 1958; 1958 - 2000


History
The school started as Thomson Government Chinese Middle School in 1956, as one of the Government Chinese Middle Schools set up to cater to Chinese school students who had their studies disrupted by the Chinese middle schools riots. It later merged with Thomson Vocational School to become Thomson Secondary School in 1958. When Thomson Secondary School was relocated to Sengkang Town on 15 December 2000, it was renamed North Vista Secondary School. The Chinese name of Thomson Secondary School was maintained to preserve its historical links with the new school.
