History

Шаблон:Expand section

Cedar Girls' Secondary School was founded as school with a pioneer batch of 507 students in 1957. The pioneer batch consisted of girls from the Bartley, Beatty and Siglap schools as a result of the government making all schools single-sex that year.[1]

In the 1960s, the school became well known for its performance in track and field, as well as for producing several national athletes. In 1972, athletic facilities were constructed in the school compound at a cost of S$250,000. By doing so, it became the first school in Singapore to have sports amenities on campus.[2] In 1981, the school became one of the first 16 schools in Singapore to have computer appreciation as an extra-curricular activity.[3] From 1989 to 1994, the school was torn down and rebuilt as part of the modernisation of the curriculum.[4] The school went single session in 1992 and gained autonomous status in 1996.[5] In 2004, the school was classified as a band one school for its consistent academic performance.

PRIME

On 14 February 2007, the Ministry of Education announced that under the programme PRIME Phase 9, eight more schools will be upgraded from 2008 to 2010, which included Cedar Girls' Secondary School.[6]

Cedar Girls' Secondary School moved to a holding site at 3 Geylang Bahru Lane from December 2007 to December 2009 during the upgrading. The holding site was formerly the site of Victoria School from 1984 to May 2003. Cedar Girls' Secondary School moved back to its present site and started the new academic year in 2010 at the new building.

Victoria-Cedar Alliance Integrated Programme (VCA IP)

The Victoria-Cedar Alliance Integrated Programme is a six-year Integrated Programme which allows students to skip the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level examinations that Express stream students take at the end of Secondary Four.
