History

{{refimprove section|date=July 2016}}

Singapore Government Chinese Middle School

River Valley High School was founded as Singapore Chinese Middle School. It was the first Chinese middle school set up by the government, occupying the premises of Seng Poh Primary School. It was later renamed Queenstown Government Chinese Middle School and subsequently River Valley Government Chinese Middle School when it was moved to Strathmore Avenue.[3]

Designation of Special Assistance Plan

River Valley High School admitted its first batch of English stream pupils when it was selected as one of the pioneering nine Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools in 1979. It shifted from River Valley to West Coast in December 1986. Due to the smaller school campus at the West Coast site, the school became a double-session school. It reverted to a single-session school in 1993 after adding new blocks to the West Coast site. It was among the first six schools in Singapore to assume the ascendance to autonomous status in 1994. For its achievements in its CCAs, it was also one of the first schools to receive all three available Sustained Achievement Awards when it was first offered by the Ministry of Education in 2001.[4]

Introduction of Integrated Programme

In 2006 River Valley High School was officially designated a 6-Year Integrated Programme school. Under the programme, students follow a six-year Integrated Programme curriculum which allows students to sit for the GCE 'A' Level examinations at year 6 without taking the GCE 'O' Level examinations. The final batch of GCE 'O' Level students graduated from River Valley High School in 2007.[5][6]

Opening up to Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE)

At a press release held by the Ministry of Education on 21 September 2018, it was revealed that River Valley would be participating in the JAE as of 2019, and will accept GCE O-Level students from other secondary schools. The first batch of JAE students arrived in 2019.[7]

The song, with close links to the school motto, represents the heritage of the school and the aspirations of the founders' hopes in educating the next generation. Students are reminded to bring glory to the school through excellence in both academics and behaviour. The school song is written in literary Chinese, giving it a poetic touch. The lyrics are written in verses of four characters, a parallel to Chinese idioms, with the exception of the last two verses.[8][9]
