Founded in 1988, it was the fourteenth junior college to be established in Singapore.[1] HistoryFoundation yearsSerangoon Junior College was established in March 1988 as the fourteenth junior college in Singapore.[1] The College initially operated from a temporary campus in Hougang, which is now the premises of Xinmin Secondary School, with a pioneering staff strength of 45 teachers. {{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} Lessons for the first batch of 673 students commenced in April of the same year.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} In December 1990, the College relocated to its present campus along Upper Serangoon Road, in Hougang New Town. It was officially declared open on 29 May 1992 by Mr. Lee Yock Suan, the then Minister for Education. {{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} In recent years, the academic standards of Serangoon Junior College had been improving consistently, as it gained recognition as one of the leading government colleges in the district.[2] This was complemented with the rise in admission standards of the college, from a cut-off point of twenty in the 1989 intake to eleven in the 2016 intake at the annual Joint Admission Exercise (JAE).[1] Merger into Anderson Junior CollegeOn 20 April 2017, it was announced that Serangoon Junior College would merge with Anderson Junior College (AJC), with the merged school located at the current site of Anderson Junior College, and operating under the name of Anderson Serangoon Junior College.[3][4] This was in view of the declining enrollment into junior colleges since 2014, attributed to the fall in Singapore's birth rate.[5] As a result of the merger, Serangoon Junior College no longer admit students from 2018 to minimise the need for students to physically relocated to the new site. The merger process is to be completed by January 2019.[4] To mark the closure of the College, a decommissioning ceremony was conducted on 7 December 2018. The College flag was lowered by its 1st Student of the Year - Mr. Tan Aik Fong. Education Minister Ong Ye Kung announced in March 2019 that Anderson-Serangoon Junior College will be rebuilt at the site of former Anderson Junior College campus at Yio Chu Kang. While rebuild is underway, the college will temporarily reoccupy the campus of former Serangoon Junior College starting from 2022. Principal
