Boon Lay Secondary School


Boon Lay Secondary School is a government secondary school located in Jurong West, Singapore.

History

The school commenced operations in 1977 at a S$3.59 million campus at the junction of Boon Lay Way and Jalan Boon Lay, with 13 classes, seven of which were English-medium and the remaining six Chinese-medium. It was officially opened in 1979 by the then-Member of parliament for Boon Lay Ngeow Pack Hua. It became a solely English-medium school in 1998, and started operating single-session in 2000.

Merger with Pioneer Secondary

In 2017, Boon Lay Secondary School absorbed Pioneer Secondary School due to falling enrolment in both schools.

School identity and culture

Crest

The current school crest was introduced in November 2016, in order to commemorate the merger of the school with Pioneer Secondary from then on. It depicts two people moving as one moving towards their goals, embodying a teacher and student working together. Its resemblance to a ladder also calls for its students to spur on to greater heights. The crest is accompanied by the acronym of the school and its Chinese name, the latter indicating the school's early years as a Chinese-medium school.
