Swiss Cottage School Primary has merged with Moulmein Pr in Jan 2002. The name of the merged school is Balestier Hill Pr. The merged school is functioning at the new school built at Balestier Rd

Parents registered younger brother and I at Swiss Cottage with older cousins. We pray very hard for floods, so tat we don't have to go to school on rainy days.

Hi, does anyone know if the old Tanglin Girls School (at Kay Siang Road) merged with any school? Was there for two years. If I recall correctly, it merged with Kay Siang Primary but both are now gone, so I’m not really sure how else to trace. The web site provided by MOE was of no help too, listing only a Tanglin Primary which I don’t believe is the same.

Found somewhere in the website:

Tanglin Girls --> Xianglin Primary School. Xianglin Primary merged with Belvedere Primary and became Belvedere Primary which occupied the Xianglin building. This didn't last for too long before they closed the entire school down.

Ha ha, was thinking the same about getting some Phase 2A advantage!

I kinda liked the slope where I used to play while waiting for my school bus, but yes, the stairs I had to walk up to the school was a killer!

I have very little memories of the school actually, having studied there for P1 and P2 only, but I do remember there were many casuarina trees and how I liked to pick the prickly leaves and seed/fruit from the ground.

Oh, and we had a music room that I liked to go to where I would bang on the keys of any available piano or organ there, to the chagrin of all present!

I was from Belvedere School and was hoping to trace to a new school to get into an earlier phase than what it would be (P2C). I wrote to MOE and they could not give me an answer despite many mails. So I am resign to P2C! Yes, the slope!!
