Schools used to be named after the locations where they were founded. Their names are usually somewhat linked to the locations that most people are familiar with. Now that Outram Secondary School is moving to Sengkang, it will definitely leave a different impression as Outram is not in Sengkang.
Outram Secondary School is one of the latest victim of relocation, before them there are significant number of schools that got ejected out of their original premises.
🙏 Primary & Secondary Schools' memories are Special for those of that juncture of time & era ... After 5 , 10 , 15 , 20 , 25 & 30 years ... Many would look back fondly & sadly of those time & memories they had shared together! ... 🙏🕯🌷🌿🌎💖🕊
As long as yr school location hold significant properties value, getting ejected is a matter of time. Its all about Revenue n Profit. A Government failure !!!
😢🙏 Many shed tears of rememberance of their Alma Mater of Junior & Senior Outram High School era ... Looks like Everything has a self-life & has to go through the cycles of Birth , Ageing , Sickness & Death ... 🙏 Thank You So Much to the School Principles , Teachers , Schoolmates & Classmates of our batch for the Guidances & Supports given to us when we were still young & naive! 🙏 Million apologies to all those we had thoughtlessly hurt or injured with our inconsiderate words or actions! May Outram High School Memories will be remembered in a dedicated Website or Reunion Chat Group! 🙏🍅🍊🌷🌿🌏💜🕊🇸🇬
I studied there as Pre-university in the 1990s, surely miss the swimming pool and the staircases. Is it really to relocate and make way for the housing or mall, etc? We already lost the the horse riding in the most recent development
All these schools aren't just buildings, they represent surrounding residents' fond memories and community ties. Moving them destroys those ties. If everything that the common Singaporean have are taken away, what sense of belonging is left?
Nostagia what nostalgia. When Hollywood planet and Nickelodeon land in usa close. I don't see the nostalgia though i remember going there during a vaction i had back in 1997 and 2004. Same
There is no time for nostalgia at The Singapore Inc.

That's why all this shifting is really stupid. Want to build condo go and reclaim land and build lah.
I always found the news informative. 😊 I am sad to hear about the school’s relocation.
I wondered if our gov failed their geography? How is outram is related to sengkang?

Haha after all York Hill is ideal for another condo development. Do note the existing swimming pool.

Hope they retain the pool at Sengkang
So, will school be renamed as Sengkang secondary school?
There is already a Sengkang Secondary School. Relocated schools are most of the time not renamed.
I remember the time when the school got students to the streets to raise funds to build their swimming pool
