Braddell Secondary School was a co-educational government secondary school in Singapore. ^[1] It started operations in 1981 and ceased to exist in 2000, when it was merged with Westlake Secondary School to form Braddell-Westlake Secondary School

History

The school was started in 1981 as a co-educational and English-medium school and it was officially opened by then-MP for Boon Teck, Michael Liew Kok Pun on 28 April 1983. ^[2] It was housed in a S$6.65 million campus made out of two sunken courtyards and five blocks. ^[3]

School Motto

The motto "In Word and Deed" embraces the aim of the school which is the building of a caring community based on sincerity, mutual trust and respect for one another, single-mindedly working towards the betterment of the school. ^[4]

School crest

The initials for the school, BS, are incorporated in the crest. The letters are stylised to form a ribbon-like B-shaped design, representing the scrolls of learning and knowledge. Leading out from the graphic symbol are the different paths a student takes to uphold the motto of "In word and deed". The yellow stands for honour and loyalty, while the blue stands for sincerity. ^[5]

Merger with Westlake Secondary School

The last graduating batch as Braddellites (which the students were commonly known as) was in 1999, after which they merged with Westlake Secondary School to form Braddell-Westlake Secondary School. Braddell Secondary School's campus became Campus 1, housing upper secondary students. ^[6] Braddell-Westlake Secondary School's students and teachers were transferred to Guangyang Secondary School ^[6] after closing down in 2005.
