St. Gabriel's Primary School is an all-boys Catholic primary school in Singapore, affiliated to St. Gabriel's Secondary School.
School History [1]
St Gabriel's School opened its doors on 3 June 1953 and was located at the junction of Hillside Drive and Upper Serangoon Road. Under the supervision of Rev Bro Louis Gonzaga and seven pioneer teachers, the school accepted 212 pupils ranging from Primary One to Standard Two for its first intake. Mgr Michael Olcomendy, Bishop of the Diocese of Singapore and Malacca, officially declared the school open on 13 December 1953.
The primary section of the school was relocated to new building along Highland Road on 2 January 1969 and officially declared open on 12 July 1969, hence the creation of St. Gabriel's Primary School. The new school was headed by Mr Paul Lee Poh Soon.
In 1988,the school relocated yet again, to meet with the rising demand of school places. Since then, the school has been located in Lorong Chuan.
School Crest & Motto [2]
The School Crest was formally introduced in 2007 to replace the School Badge (1953-2007) and is now used by all Gabrielite Institutions. This is in line with the St. Gabriel's Foundation's aim to forge a common identity for all Gabrielite Institutions in the SE-Asia Region. Components of the School Crest are as follows:
A.M. with the lily flower: "A.M." is an abbreviation for “Ave Maria.” It represents the greeting of Angel Gabriel to Mary. It also shows our Patron Saint St. Louis de Monfort's strong devotion to our lady.
D+S with a cross: D.S. comes from the French words "Dieu Seul", which can be translated as "GOD ALONE". God Alone is the all-motivating force in the life of St. Louis Marie de Montfort.
Sailboat at sea: represents the hardships we experience through life. Just like the sailors at sea, if we are able to face hardship and overcome difficulties, we will come out being better people.
Star and the man in the boat: represents our guiding light.
Olive branches: symbolizes peace and prosperity.
“Labor Omnia Vincit”: which stands for “Labour conquers all things.” In order to achieve great things in life, one must first endure hardships.
Mission and Vision [3]
Mission: Shaping Lives for Service to God and Nation
Vision: A Gabrielite will be God-loving, disciplined, gracious, caring and a life-long learner.
