[edit] School History
Northland Primary School started on January 2, 1988, a year after its completion. The first batch of students constituted elementary grades one to five. The school was officially opened by Mr Ng Pock Too, Member of Parliament for Nee Soon Central Constituency, on 17th April 1990.
Northland Primary School has shown above average scores on the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) every year.
The Programme for Rebuilding and IMproving Existing schools (PRIME) to upgrade the school started in 1999 and was completed in 2002. All the facilities within the school were upgraded and two new buildings were constructed.
[edit] CCAs
In year 2002, a special CCA called Spin (Society for Pupils's Innovation & Entrepreneurship) was established to promote entrepreneurship among pupils in the Yishun schools. The members of Spin mostly sold second-hand items such as stationery and photo frames.
In 2003, Northland launched its "applause" series of musical productions by students. The first event, held in the school hall, was so well attended in 2005 that in 2007, it was decided to move the show to a larger venue at the Republic Polythenic. First class ticket home, held on the 20th July 2007 was sold out.
