Parry Secondary School

School History

Located at Parry Avenue, Parry Secondary School was established in 1966. Parry Secondary School offered Normal and Technical subjects and students were allowed to choose between both. Furthermore, the school had both Chinese and English streams.

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Parry Secondary School’s building was utilised for basic police training for the Vigilante Corps due to a lack of training facilities.

With residential shifts to new towns, student enrolment fell. In 1983, Parry Secondary School was closed. In 1984, Parry Secondary School’s students merged with Hwi Yoh Secondary School to form Peicai Secondary School. The former site of Parry Secondary School was occupied by Rosyth School due to the latter’s space constraints until 2001. Since then, Parry Secondary School’s building has been left vacant.
