It was started in January 1978 as a government-run, co-educational, integrated school with students choosing either Chinese or English as the medium of instruction. Mr Chou We Chuan was the founding principal. From 1987 to 1990, the school also functioned as a Pre-University centre offering Arts and Commerce courses. The last batch of Chinese medium students graduated in 1987.
