Jurong West Secondary School

A very unique choice of color combination by the school, makes me feel kind of "heavy"...

On a second note, new year is coming, so I guessed I would be on another break soon also due to school reopening on the upcoming week...

Background Information
Jurong West Secondary School functioned at the old Boon Lay Secondary premises along Jalan Boon Lay from 2 Jan 2001 until it moved to its new present premises at 6, Jurong West St 65 on 18 Mar 2002. The new 3.1 hectare premises, built at the cost of $20 million, included up-to-date facilities such as computer & science laboratories, media resource library & IT resource rooms and special rooms for art, music & dance.


The eagle represents strength of character with outspread wings looking west, guarding the virtues of the school embodied within the school crest. The contoured shape and design of the crest is reminiscent of the badges of the guardians of the civilian society signifying discipline. Above its head and outspread wings, the initials of the school take position and precedence.

The school's virtues are symbolised by the four designs in the two halves of the crest.

Two clasped hands form the shape of a heart symbolising the school's aspiration to create individuals who will serve the needs of the community.

The atomic symbol represents the need to be technologically oriented as mankind explores the realms of the digital age and cyber space.

An unconventional square bulb symbolises imaginative thinking to help nurture creative minds.

A flaming torch representing life-long learning is placed over a scroll signifying academic excellence, the former taking precedence over the latter.

And finally, displayed at the base of the crest, is the school motto reinforcing the courage of the eagle.
