Xinghua Primary School (
Abbreviation:
XPS) is
government, co-educational primary school of the Ministry of
Education of Singapore and offers education from Primary 1 to
Primary 6, ultimately leading to the
Primary School Leaving
Examination.
Founded in 1930 as Sing
Hua Public School, the school was then located in Lim Tua Tow Road, in the north-eastern
Singapore
before being relocated to its current campus at
Hougang Avenue 1.
History
Xinghua Primary School was founded by Mr
Chua Cheok San in 1930. It was then known as
Sing Hua Public School, located at Lim Tua Tow Road (located
somewhere between
Serangoon and
Kovan MRT Stations), with a small wooden building as
campus. During
World War II when
Singapore was occupied by the Japanese, the school was converted
into a barrack by the Japanese.
After the war, the school was turned into a soap factory. But Mr
Chua Cheok San, with the support of sponsors, took measures to
restart the operations of the school and rented four classrooms
from the factory in 1946. It became a government-aided school in
1957 and an integrated government school in 1972.
In 1964, funds were raised for a new building. The school was then
declared open in 1976. It had become a Chinese-English Integrated
School.
Due to increasing pupil enrolment, the school was relocated to its
present premises at 45 Hougang Ave 1 on 17 December 1984 and its
name was changed to a
pinyinnised name,
Xinghua Primary School, with English as the medium of
instruction.
On 15 December 2000, the school shifted to 30 Parry Avenue for the
Hougang Avenue 1 campus to be rebuilt under the
Programme
for Rebuilding and IMproving Existing schools (Phase 1). In
January 2003, the pupils and staff of both Xinghua Primary School
and
Charlton School merged when the
school shifted back to its present location at Hougang Avenue 1. In
January 2007, Xinghua Primary School once again underwent a merger
with a neighbouring school, this time
Parry Primary School.
School Motto
"Towards Excellence"
The school believes that every child is a unique and precious
individual and sees it as a duty to enable him or her to grow to be
a responsible member of society.
Academic Results
The school has shown improving results for most of its subjects for
the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
