[edit] School History

Bedok View Secondary School was established and housed at Siglap Malay School as a holding school in January 1977. It started with 5 classes in the English stream and 4 in the Chinese Stream. Mr Mohd Said B H A Samad, the principal-designated, served the school for three and a half years until June 1981. Mr Soh Guan Ba took over as the principal from June 1981 to December 1995. Mr Ee Chye Heng joined the school from 1995 to 2000 after which Mr Khairunan bin Ali took over the post. At 2008, Mr Boo Chong Han took over as the principal.

In January 1978, the school began functioning in the present premises and was officially opened on 28th September 1979 by Tuan Haji Sha’ari Tadin, the former MP for Bedok. It was the 139th school built by the government and it was also the first government secondary school to be built within Bedok New Town.

In 1992, major alterations and renovations to the existing building and the construction of the 4-storey classroom block were carried out under the Extension and Alteration Project. With the completion of the Extension and Alteration project, the school now has 36 classrooms, a language laboratory, a commerce room, 2 computer laboratories and 6 science laboratories. Extension to the library, staff room and canteen were also carried out. In 1998, through the R & R programme, the school was repainted and given a facelift. Many old and spoilt items were replaced or reconditioned. It is now a more comfortable and conductive environment for teaching and learning. The school had undergone PRIME and the entire project was completed around mid-2005. When fully completed, the school had ample and up-to-date facilities to cater for the needs of the pupils and staff for the future and beyond.

A sports hall is under construction currently for the benefit and convenience of the students.
