History
The school started as a private Anglican school in 1952 within Christ Church Parish at Dorset Road to meet the needs of those students who had missed the mainstream education. It was renamed Christ Church Secondary School (CHR) when it became a Government-aided school in 1973. Due to the growing student population, the school moved to Tyrwhitt Road campus, formerly occupied by Victoria School, in 1985. The school was relocated to a brand new campus in Woodlands in December 2001.
