School History

Ghim Moh Primary School was officially declared open on 16 February 1979. The school was built to meet the needs of the residents in Ghim Moh housing estate.

In 1982, the school began a quarterly magazine called Busy Times, which aimed to promote good reading and writing skills of its students. In 1985, the school produced a souvenir edition, The Best of Busy Times, for its National Day celebrations.

The school had an Engage in Creating Orchid Hybrids (ECOH) programme that fostered creativity and experiential learning which, facilitated scientific thinking and processing skills in students. In September 2005, the programme produced a few orchid hybrids. The best hybrid was named Dendrobium Royal Ghim Moh Primary, after the school.

In 2009, Ghim Moh Primary School merged with New Town Primary School.

School Motto

School Crest

The letter G in the crest represents the good education, good work attitude and good recreation, which students receive from the school and which promote good health and positive social behaviour.

These aspirations rest on a solid foundation – the letter M in the crest is a stylised figure of a Minangkabau house, a very strong and reliable house built without the use of a single nail.

School Song

School song unavailable

Ghim Moh, it is our second home
A beacon to us all
It lights our hearts
It lights our minds
And gives us all that’s good.

Chorus
Let us come with open minds
Let us come with open hands
To give and to take
Let us try to better ourselves
In work and in play.

In school we find our teachers, friends
And rules to guide us by
We find friendship, we find much joy
And lessons to enjoy.
