• Keep. We have other schools articles. Carioca 22:55, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
  • We have articles on companies too, but that's no reason to keep every article about a company. Please rate the article on its individual merits. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:33, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
    • This article has the merit of providing users with information about a secondary school. Kappa 01:30, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Question: Is teaching in 4 different languages common in the area? What area is the school excellence award awarded in what is it given for? - Mgm|^(talk) 23:33, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

All schools in Singapore use English (a compulsory subject) as the first language. There is also a compulsory 'mother tongue' subject (maybe exempted in some cases) such as zh, ms, ta. *drew 00:49, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

It is a national award for overall academic and non-academic achievement. This year, only two secondary schools were given this highest school honour in the country; and for a neighbourhood school to win this, it is very notable indeed. [1] --Vsion 02:36, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep for the usual reasons, just as we have done with the past 300+ school-related articles which were about verifiable primary schools or greater. There is no consensus to delete secondary schools, please do not nominate them for deletion. If you are concerned about the content of any given article, you are empowered to be WP:BOLD and expand it rather than further bog down the AFD system. Silensor 23:54, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but Drastically expand. This is a highschool and because of devoloping consensus at WP:SCH it should be kept. However this article barely deserves the name and needs immediate attention.Gateman1997 18:38, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
• keep this please it is important Yuckfoo 01:14, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
