School History

Beng Wan Primary School began on 2 January 1977. It was officially declared open on 25 July 1978. On 21 January 1990, Beng Wan Primary School was the first school to offer Hindi classes. The Hindi Society (Singapore) was also registered in the same year. This was a historic occasion for the school and the Hindi-speaking population of Singapore, as this was the first time that Hindi teaching was organised on an island-wide basis.

In 1997, the school celebrated its 20th anniversary.

In 2004, Beng Wan Primary School merged with Bendemeer Primary School.

School Song

To Beng Wan we go willingly
There we learn to grow up graciously
With discipline and care
We are taught to serve lovingly
Our teachers and fellow friends and everyone there

Chorus:
Love we must truly
Serve we must sincerely
Our beloved Beng Wan
As best as she can be
May Beng Wan strive courageously
May our pupils sow carefully
With ruggedness we will grow
And with graciousness we will glow
As the best can only grow in a happy place.
