Monk's Hill Secondary School (Abbreviation: MHSS; Chinese: 蒙克山中学) was a defunct secondary school located near Newton Food Centre in Singapore which operated from 1958 to 2006.
The school’s history began in 1958 on a plot of land that was once the site of a Chinese monastery. The name ‘Monk’s Hill’ is a reminder of this piece of history.
In January 2007, Monk's Hill Secondary School was merged into Balestier Hill Secondary School at Novena.
On 14 May 2004, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced that under the programme PRIME Phase 6, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) will be relocated to the current site of Monk's Hill Secondary School.
The school has had 10 Principals in its 49 years history.
Because of the closure of MHSS, a Flag Lowering Ceremony was held at 6:00 p.m. 22 November 2006 at 12, Winstedt Road, MHSS Parade Square. A few hundred ex-Monkshillians from yesteryears turned up to witness the event together with the present staff and students.
Summary from MHSS Principal Mr. Syed Mohamed Ashraf Shah's speech during the Flag Lowering Ceremony.
The school flag was lowered as the school song was sung for the last time. It was a sad and solemn moment for all. At the end of the ceremony, the school flag was presented to its principal, Mr. Syed Mohamed Ashraf Shah for his entrustment and safekeeping.
