Marsiling Secondary School (abbreviation: MSS) is a government co-educational secondary school in Woodlands, Singapore. It was founded in January 2000. MSS is located in Marsiling Road, Singapore, having been temporarily housed at the premises of Woodgrove Secondary School from 2000 to late 2001, due to prolonged delays in construction of the Marsiling campus when the company handling the construction failed in mid-2000.

History[]

Marsiling Secondary School was inaugurated as a result of a shortage of secondary schools, especially in anticipation of the record number of primary-school leavers in January 2000. Mrs Choy Chee Meh was appointed the first principal of MSS,^[1] and acquisition of land at the current site began shortly after the decision to establish the school. Primary-school leavers had little interest in choosing MSS at first, compared with the long-established secondary schools in Woodlands.

MSS was involved in the three-year Apple-MOE Collaboration in which Apple Macintosh computers were introduced, and the education model used in the United States devised by educators and Apple Computer was applied. During this period MSS hosted three Edu-Pi camps, a two-day educational workshop to encourage the use of Apple products such as iMovie and the Mac OS.^{[citation needed]}

Merger[]

Marsiling Secondary School merged with Si Ling Secondary School with effect from 1 January 2017 due to the lack of population in the school. The abbreviation of the school changed from MSL to MSS. Si Ling Secondary is now closed from 1 January 2017 since its opening in 1980.^{[citation needed]}
