School history
editThe school was set up by the Singapore Buddhist Federation in 1982 at 149 Sims Drive, Singapore 387380. In 2009, the school moved to a new campus at 20 Ubi Avenue 1 which was officially opened on 22 April 2010. The move allowed the school to share resources with its affiliated primary school, Maha Bodhi School.[citation needed] James Cook University Singapore currently occupies the old campus and continues to use its buildings.
The school celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2012. The annual school anniversary concert was held in April 2012 at the LASALLE College of the Arts in conjunction of the school's 30th anniversary. In November, the school organised a homecoming dinner for past-and-present staff and students, with Education Minister Heng Swee Keat being the guest-of-honour.[2]
