Teck Whye Secondary School (Abbreviation: TWSS) [德惠中学 (Chinese), Sekolah Menengah Teck Whye (Malay)] is a government co-educational secondary school located in Choa Chu Kang, Singapore. TWSS was founded in 1966 at Teck Whye; it moved to its current building in 2002.
Introduction
Teck Whye Secondary School is a neighbourhood school with the majority of the students from nearby housing estates. In the days before English was the main medium of instruction, it used to offer Chinese-medium and Malay-medium classes as well. The school itself was situated in Jalan Teck Whye for many of years, until it had been relocated to a new building in Teck Whye Crescent, 2002. Under the leadership of the last Principal, Mr Adrian Cordeiro, the school revamped its school crest, school uniform and school song. A new Principal, Mr Ong Kong Hong, took over at the end of 2009. At the start of January 2014, Mr Edwin Chan (a former Vice Principal of Crescent Girls' School) took over as Principal when Mr Ong Kong Hong took up the appointment of Cluster Superintendent at MOE.
