chool's History

Dr (Mrs.) Ferguson David from Diocese Anglikan, Singapore, founded St. David's High School in 1912. She was also the founder of St. David's Hospital in Melaka; the hospital's service was ended and was replaced with a school, Sekolah Tinggi Cina. In 1956, Commander Hudson from the Christ Church Parish Committee had given a piece of land (5.5 acres) in Bukit Baru to be the site for this school. In the same year, Director of Education, Dr FJA Rawcliffe with the permission from Allayarham Tun Abdul Razak, Minister of Education, started the project. Four years later, a three-story building, including toilets and canteen, was ready and officiated by the Governor of Melaka, Tun Hj. Abd. Malek bin Yusuf. Three years later, the Form 4 classes were started with 29 students in the art stream and 23 students in the science stream. In 1964, for the first time, 55 students sat for the Cambridge in this school. The Melaka State Government gave a piece of land (2.5 acres) to the school as a field. On September 25, 1970, Deputy Director of Education Malaysia, Mr. Abdullah Sultan officiated the opening of the ‘Seni Perusahaan' building. On the August 5, 1975 , the science block was officiated by YB Mr. Chan Siang Sun, Deputy Director of Education Malaysia. In 1989, the school started to accept female students. In the year 1994, The Khoo Wing, consisting of four classrooms, was built to help alleivate the problem of having too many students, removing the need for floating classes in the school.

St. David's High School,
Truth and honour we shall know.

Never give up with a sigh,
For we all are St Davidians.
