History
Bukit Batok Secondary School was first opened in 1986,[1] housed in a S$8.2 million campus at the junction of Bukit Batok West Avenues 3 and 8.[2] In 1988, air-conditioners were installed in the school's library, language lab and computer room and on 9 April that year, the school was officially opened by the then-MP for Bukit Batok Chai Chong Yii.[3] The school was made a part of the W2 Cluster in 1998.
From 2006 to 2008, the school was rebuilt for $25.48 million under the PRIME scheme. School Advisory Committee members and parents raised another $661,220 in 2 years for non-standard items such as an air-conditioned multi-purpose hall and a viewing gallery for the Indoor Sports Hall.[citation needed]
