Ngee Ann Secondary School (NASS) is a government-aided secondary school in Tampines, Singapore. The school was started by the Ngee Ann Kongsi, a Teochew clan foundation. Set up in 1994, Ngee Ann Secondary was conceptualized as a successive link to the now defunct Tuan Mong High School which closed in that same year[1]. It has won several awards, including the Singapore Quality Class Award and Best Practice Award in Teaching and Learning. It is currently undergoing PRIME, with the first few stages completed, including a 7-storey building as well as temporary structures which will be used till the end of PRIME. Construction works are expected to end 2009.
