School history
The school was set up by the Singapore Buddhist Federation in 1982 at 149 Sims Drive, Singapore 387380. In 2009, the school moved to a new campus at 20 Ubi Avenue 1, Singapore 408940 which was officially opened on 22 April 2010. The move allowed the school to share resources with its affiliated primary school, Maha Bodhi School. James Cook University Singapore currently occupies the old campus and continues to use its buildings.
The school celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2012. The annual school anniversary concert was held in April 2012 at the LASALLE College of the Arts in conjunction of the school's 30th Anniversary. In November, the school organised a home-coming dinner for past-and-present staff and students, with then-Education Minister Heng Swee Keat being the Guest-of-Honour.[1]
Affiliation
Manjusri Secondary School is affiliated with Maha Bodhi School and Mee Toh School.[2]
