Orchid Park Sec School saw its genesis in January 1999 on the premises of Woodlands Ring Secondary School. The pioneers comprised a sterling staff of 16 and a student population of 360. It was on these premises that principal and teaching staff, fired by an ardent sense of purpose, crafted a lofty vision and a noble mission to set the direction for the new school.

Core values were encapsulated in the school’s 4As – Attendance, Attentiveness, Assignments and Attire. With the foundation firmly in place, the historic move was made on Monday, 13th September 1999 to the school’s own premises at No.10, Yishun Street 81. Orchid Park Secondary School, already noted for its exemplary discipline, was now poised to take off, guided by the school’s simple but compelling motto ‘Onward and Persevere’.

It was a significant milestone as we embarked on a new journey in the education landscape in Singapore. On 20 August 1987, the Senior Parliamentary Secretary (Defence) and Member of Parliament for Tampines, Mr. Phua Bah Lee, officially opened the school.

Our founding Principal, Ms Bandara, crafted the school motto, Pride and Responsibility, together with some staff members. The aim was to ensure that every Pasirian embraces these values as he works towards success and excellence.

In 1997, the building extension project started immediately after the GCE ‘O’ Level examination to add more classrooms for the school to go single session in 2000. The school began its single session on 2 January 2000 with 39 classes.

As the enrolment of the school increased steadily, it was identified for PRIME upgrading from Jan 2006 to Dec 2007 so that there will be more classrooms and facilities to accommodate the growing school population and learning needs of our students.
