Riverside Secondary School (abbreviation: RSS) is a co-educational, single session, government school on Woodlands Street 81, Singapore. Students of the school are referred to as "Riversidians". Mdm Owen Lim Zheng Yi is the current principal.
Riverside Secondary School has been ranked in the top 50 secondary schools in Singapore. Recognised by the Singapore Ministry of Education in April 2008 for its niche programme in dance, the school has been given approval to allocate up to 5% of its next student intake for discretionary admission via the Direct School Admission scheme.
Riverside Secondary School had its beginnings in 1987 at Fuchun Secondary School under caretaker Principal Mrs. Ngiam Geak Kim where it taught its first batch of Secondary One pupils together with nine teachers and two non-academic staff members.
Under the pioneer Principal, Mr O. J. Balasingam, Riverside moved to its present premises at Woodlands Street 81 on 21 December 1987. It is the third school built under Phase Two of the S100 Secondary School Type. It has an underground rifle range , air-conditioned library and self-study facilities. The school was officially opened by Mr. Lee Yiok Seng, MP for Bukit Panjang on 14 July 1990.
Mr. Bala and staff crafted the school motto, school crest and uniform. He also co-wrote the school song.
The school presented its first batch of GCE 'N' and 'O' Level candidates in 1990. Riverside was awarded the Academic Value-Added Awards (Express) in 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996 as well as Singapore Youth Festival awards.
