Pasir Panjang Primary School was constructed in the 1930s at the end of Yew Siang Road where it survived the tumultuous days of World War II. The school shut down in 1986 and the premise was later used as a drug rehabilitation centre named Breakthrough Missions.
A resident sent in this blog post reminiscing the good days spent at Pasir Panjang English School in the 1950s.
The primary school was in fact one of four schools in Pasir Panjang at one time, the other three schools being Batu Berlayar School, Pasir Panjang Secondary School and Labrador Primary School.

As Pasir Panjang estate continues to flourish into a well-loved neighbourhood, with greater connectivity, amenities and other exciting plans in the near future, perhaps bringing a school back to our midst would be just the thing we need!
