It's not new in Singapore to here schooling shutting down and merging with others due to the lack of students. This is highly due to the falling of birth rates in our time.
Bedok North Secondary is one of the many schools that are closed permanently for the exact reason.
Established in 1981, it was briefly located on the campus of Temasek Secondary School before.
In 1999, it was relocated to this compound in order to accommodate the increasing number of staff and students.
Due to a fall in enrolment, Bedok North was closed on 1 January 2018 and its operations merged with DMSS. During the height of covid-19, it was a temporary dormitory for foreign workers providing essential services. Now it is used as a Joint Testing and Vaccination Centre.
