If I recall correctly, the buses we could take to school were 66, 170, 171, 175, 180, 182

This is where most of us would take the buses to go home.

This is a new bridge. The one we walked on was really crappy; it initially had wooden floors which were later replaced with a concrete one. We must've walked across that bridge more than a thousand times...

As viewed from the overhead bridge, road going towards the city.

There used to be a stretch of florists/nurseries along the Bt. Timah canal. The original overhead bridge also had stairs in the middle, leading down towards the nursery. Also, can you remember an A&W restaurant along the canal, opposide Novotel Orchid Inn (now called Copthorne)?

Foreground - where many hours of NPCC/SJAB footdrills were practiced. Just beyond that is the basketball court where we'd have our PE lessons under Mr. Saifuddin. In the background used to be were our playing field was, which of course is where the humongous SCGS now stands.

The exercise fixtures weren't there when we were. We did however have a Swiss Adventure Centre on the top of that slope. Open with big fanfare with press and TV coverage, too. I think it kinda fell apart within a year.

Just between the hall and the slope was our eco-pond. I think there were stories about how one of our classmates was tricked into drinking the pond-water when he was told it was sugar-cane juice.

Where we'd get off to go to school, or on weekends, where we'd take the bus to go to town. As a teenager, going to town with friends was such a big deal then.

Leading up to the Swiss Art Centre.

Hey! It's still Swiss Cottage! Balestier Hill Sec, ACS and Henderson Sec used the premises as an interim location when their own premises were under renovation.

Another view of the school compound. Actually, that's quite a large parade square/carpark we've got. Many of the new schools these days don't seem to have this kind of outdoor space anymore.

The buildings just visible on the slope are the Science lab block, and the ECA rooms like The Prefects, NPCC and Scouts rooms.

Here's where the prefects would greet the latecomers. And at any one time, there were many of these Nazis on guard gleefully waiting to book you. I outsmarted them by coming in from across the field, entering from Whitley Secondary School side. :)

Another view - the SCSS hall. Used to have wooden swing-doors that you'd lock in place with a 2+m long wood piece. I smashed my middle finger good between those doors once.

From across the field.

Our NAPFA 2.4km route. We had to turn into Whitley Road where we'd enter the main gate of Whitley Sec, past their canteen, then out through their side gate before hitting the public pavement along Dunearn Road again.

This is the view as we were headed back to school.
