Jalan Ulu Sembawang 惹兰乌鲁三巴旺: Huamin Primary School 华民小学 (Formerly Hua Mien Public School 公立华民学校) ; Cheng Chi School 增志学校 (Former) and Chung Yee Public School 公立中玉学校 (Former)

Schools Along Jalan Ulu Sembawang  惹兰乌鲁三巴旺一带的学校

从前,有一条名叫惹兰乌鲁三巴旺的乡间小路,从三巴旺大路十三英里左转进去,全长约六七英里,一路上农田茅舍,随处可见;俗称“福山园”,又名“烂泥港”。
在这片僻静而广阔的农村中,村民大多来自福建, 也有四间略具规模的公立华文小学—民正、华民、中玉和新华。
Jalan Ulu Sembawang was first named in July 1948 as a dirt track off the 13th milestone of Sembawang Road, just south of Chong Pang Village - then one of the largest towns in the north of Singapore - and Sungei Simpang Village. The road served the rural villages and vast plantations around the Mandai and Ulu Sembawang areas. 

The majority of the residents along Jalan Ulu Sembawang were Hokkien, descendents of immigrants from the southern China, with surnames Toh or Ang. There were also 4 relatively well-established schools along Jalan Ulu Sembawang, namely Hua Mien Public School, Cheng Chi School, Chung Yee School and Sin Hua School.

Cheng Chi School 增志学校

History
Cheng Chi School (增志学校, later known as "Cheng Chi Primary School") was located at Stephen Lee Road, off Mandai Road. It was established in 1932 with the help from Reverend Father Stephen Lee Teck Bong and sponsored by Catholic Mission. The Chinese-medium school was closed during Japanese Occupation and was reopened in 1946. Later, it became a government-aided school and was closed down in 1979 due to low enrolment of students.




Chung Yee School 中玉学校

《联合晚报 - 光阴的故事》 
1962年,中学刚毕业,校长林光永先生便把我带进中玉小学,担任华文老师,我在这里一呆21年。记得电视剧《雾锁南洋》也在操场后方的茅屋拍摄,我们全校师生连续几个月都可看到向云、黄文永等在茅屋内拍戏,好不兴奋。
