School Motto

On To The Best

School Crest

The colours of the school are red and white, identifying it with the Singapore flag.

The nub of the crest, which is 善 (shan), is derived from the name of the school, 崇善 (Chong Shan). “Shan” meaning goodness, kindness or perfection. It is portrayed as a pot of young and upright plant, which signifies the growth of education.

The inner upward curve represents the glow of sunshine leading the pupils towards a bright future.
