Holy Innocents’ Primary School was founded in 1892 by the Paris Foreign Missions Society (MEP), making it one of the oldest primary schools in Singapore. The school started as a small village school providing education to the children of Teochew Catholic immigrants. Over the years, it has grown into a full-fledged primary school, moving to its current premises in Hougang in 1985 to accommodate its expanding student population and to provide modern facilities.
Throughout its history, Holy Innocents’ Primary School has remained committed to providing a quality education grounded in Catholic values, fostering both academic excellence and character development.
