Hai Sing Catholic School is a school in Singapore that was founded in 1959 by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary (FMM) sisters.
The then Hai Sing Girls' High School grew out of a vision to provide secondary school education to the girls in the rural area of Upper Serangoon district. In 1978, Hai Sing was named one of the 14 outstanding Chinese secondary schools in Singapore.
Hai Sing has gone through several facelifts. In 1981, it was changed from a Chinese medium school to an English medium school. In 1990, Hai Sing Catholic School became a co-educational institution when it moved into Pasir Ris New Town.
Today the pupil enrollment stands at 1443 in 39 classes. The school has a team of 74 teachers and 18 Executive & Administrative Support Staff.

Hai Sing or "Star of the Sea" is the name given to Mary, Mother of God.
