[edit] The Beginning
Northbrooks Secondary School opened with its first intake on 3 January 2000 with eight Secondary 1 classes. Built at a cost of over S$23 million, the School is fully-equipped with IT facilities and is set amidst in the beautiful natural surroundings of Yishun Park.
The school is united in its desire to do its very best for its pupils and to prepare them for the future knowledge-based workplace. Besides developing their capacity to learn, the School will also focus on building the character of its pupils and helping them to develop compassion for others.
The name Northbrooks is derived from the Yuan Dynasty proverb yin shui si yuan. This is one of the core moral values inculcated in all Brooksians: to always remember their roots and to be grateful to their family, teachers, friends and country for the success they achieve in life.
[edit] Brooksian Anthem
With Brooksian fervour
Lift up our voices
Each day a new beginning
Let hearts be open
With hopes arising
Our promise don't deny
We're friends who offer compassion
Whatever the circumstance
With fortitude we will overcome
Be strong, be true, be free!
Reach for tomorrow
Take hold our future
Let's build a brighter new day
We're soaring, yet rooted
Take flight
And see our hopes and dreams come true
Our fears to conquer
Stand tall
Discover who we are and more
Making champions of us all
Volatilis Tamen Radicalis
O see our dreams come true
Our fears to conquer
Stand tall
Discover who we are and more
Making champions of us all
Making champions of us all !
