School History

Haig Boys’ School was established on 10 September 1951 at 25 Jalan Tembusu. The school was named after Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, British Commander-in-Chief during the Battle of the Somme. It functioned as a double-session school.

In 1988, the school was relocated to 231 Mountbatten Road and became a single-session school. From 1991, primary five and primary six students would participate in the annual overseas learning trip where they travelled to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Japan.

On 2 January 2001, Haig Boys’ School merged with Fowlie Primary School and Mountbatten Primary School to become Tanjong Katong Primary School.

School Song

School song unavailable

Boys of Haig Boys’ let’s all strive
Towards a better life
Which is the goal towards which we drive
Where happiness is rife.

Chorus:
Come on lads
Let’s try our best in everything we do
It’s only to our interest
And for our country too.

Let’s not fear to soil our hands
For toil brings us progress
And sweat and labour are our friends
Without them we regress.
