Rosyth SchoolRosyth School is a government co-educational primary school in Singapore. It is located in Serangoon in North Singapore. It is regarded by parents as one of the top primary schools in Singapore. History Rosyth School started in 1956, originally situated at Rosyth Road from which it derived its name. The majority of pupils then were from the neighboring kampungs. In early 1983, the school was identified as one of the four primary schools to host the Gifted Education Programme. By the end of 1983 the school moved to Parry Avenue. The school had five Principals, Mr Chee Seng Kee (1956 1959), Mrs Bertha Neo (1959 1978), Miss Ada Ponnappa (1978 1990), Mr Foo Chee Meng (1990 1997) and Mr Fong Whay Chong (1997 2000), before Miss Elizabeth Chan Boey Koon took over in January 2001. Due to rapid expansion of the school, it has since been relocated in 2001 to the larger premises located at Serangoon North Avenue 4. Its current population is nearly 3000 students. These students are distributed in the morning and afternoon sessions. Mission The mission of the school is "Rosythians are commited to the pursuit of existence through maximising in the development of mind, body, and soul". Gifted Education Programme Gifted Education Programme began at Rosyth in 1984. The enriched subjects are English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and Chinese. In 1996, an In-house Counsellor was appointed from among the staff of Rosyth to primarily look at the affective needs of pupils in the program. Dialogue sessions involving the principal, vice-principal, HOD (GEP), and counsellor are held once a term to meet parents of pupils who need assistance either in their work or in their behavior and attitude. To give pupils the opportunity to interact with other pupils who are less fortunate, the school has adopted Grace Haven under the Community Builder programme in 1996. Pupils visited the home twice in 2003. The school is presently working on a more structured programme with the home. Outdoor activities have been organised for selected pupils to give opportunities for leadership and character building as well as adventure and physical training.
