History
义安女校创办于1940年。当时新加坡女性极少数有机会接受教育，因此创设义安女校反映了公司先贤对华族女性的教育具有远见卓识。在60年代，许多新镇在郊外发展起来，学生人数受到人口迁移的影响而下降。为了应对这种新局势，学校在1967年开始招收男生，但也无法挽回学生人数下降的趋势。为了让学校继续生存，义安公司于1978年拨出一笔基金，在马林百列兴建新的校园，两年后学校迁入新校。1980年学校正式改名为义安小学。作为一所政府辅助学校，义安公司津贴一些学校的设施，如冷气机及电脑。
Ngee Ann Primary School was formerly known as Ngee Ann Girls’ School. In 1940, Ngee Ann Kongsi set up this institution to encourage education for girls. The school ground was situated at 229, River Valley Road, where Teo Yeonh Huai Kuan stands today. During the Japanese Occupation, the girls’ school was forced to close down but was reinstated shortly after the war. Ngee Ann Girls’ School played its role well in the community until the 1960s; due to the government’s resettlement program, many families moved to the new public housing complexes. Such demographic shift affected the enrolment of Ngee Ann Girls’ School. Despite admitting male students in 1967, the enrolment continued to fall significantly. In 1978, the school was relocated to Marine Parade and was subsequently renamed Ngee Ann Primary School in 1980.
Throughout the years, Ngee Ann Kongsi continues to contribute generously to the school. The infrastructure and amenities of Ngee Ann Primary school are constantly upgraded to ensure an optimal learning and teaching environment. Education is a priority of Ngee Ann Kongsi’s contributions of the society.
