Introduction

Teck Whye Secondary School is a neighbourhood school with the majority of the students from nearby housing estates. In the days before English was the main medium of instruction, it used to offer Chinese-medium and Malay-medium classes as well. The school itself was situated in Jalan Teck Whye for many of years, until it had been relocated to a new building in Teck Whye Crescent, 2002. Under the leadership of the last Principal, Mr Adrian Cordeiro, the school revamped its school crest, school uniform and school song. A new Principal, Mr Ong Hong Kong, took over at the end of 2009.
