Who We Are

The crest of Temasek Secondary School greets every visitor at the main gate, and for those who look closely, it tells a story.

Its navy blue speaks to the school's name: Temasek, meaning "Seaport Town", and to the vastness of knowledge we seek to impart to every student who passes through our doors.  Red stands for the brotherhood and team spirit we hope all Temasekians will carry with them long after they leave. And the pair of lions in gold represents our deepest wish — prosperity and progress, for our school, and for Singapore.

To be a Temasekian is to be part of something greater.  Every Friday, our students recite the Temasek Creed, a statement of values and aspirations that closes with the words: "that we may better serve our family, our school and our nation." It is a reminder that a Temasek education is not just about personal achievement but about contributing to something larger.

Just as the ancient seaport of Temasek has transformed into the vibrant, global city we call Singapore, we believe every student who joins us carries within them the same potential for growth and reinvention. Our role is to help them discover it.

At the entrance to our heritage gallery, photographs of our graduates and alumni line the wall, a small but proud representation of the many generations of Temasekians who have gone on to make meaningful contributions to their communities and their country. They are living proof of what a Temasek education can become.

We invite you and your child to add your chapter to the Temasek Story — a story written by people who care, and who live out the vivid colours of navy blue, red and gold.
