From 2027 to 2029, Maris Stella High School (MSHS) will be rebuilt to provide better facilities for both its primary and secondary school students.
The primary school section will, for the first time, take in girls in 2027 when it moves to its holding site at the former MacPherson Primary School site in Mattar Road.
The school, which currently admits 270 Primary 1 pupils, will look into increasing its intake in 2027.
The secondary school section's holding site will be at the former Bedok North Secondary School site in Jalan Damai.
Maris Stella High School was founded in 1958 and moved to its current Mount Vernon site in 1966.
The Catholic boys' school is known for its strong bilingual programme and counts among its alumni Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.
In a statement on May 6, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said MSHS (Primary) will turn co-educational to better serve the needs of local residents.
To accommodate this larger intake, MSHS (Primary) will operate across two sessions at the holding site during the rebuilding of its permanent campus. This means that Primary 1 and 2 pupils will attend school in the afternoon, while pupils in Primary 3 to 6 will attend the morning session.
When the rebuilding works at the permanent campus are completed, tentatively in 2030, MSHS (Primary) will revert to operating on a single-session basis.
MSHS (Secondary) will remain an all-boys school for now.
