History

Northbrooks Secondary School opened with its first intake on 3 January 2000 with eight Secondary 1 classes. Built at a cost of over $23 million, the School is fully equipped with IT facilities and is set amidst the natural surroundings of Yishun Park.[1]

The name Northbrooks is derived from the Yuan Dynasty proverb (饮水思源) yin shui si yuan[1] which means, "We should think of the source when we are drinking water.” Its meaning has two aspects: 1. to have water to drink depends on all kinds of conditions. 2. The quality of the water depends on its source.[2]

Facilities

Facilities in the school compound include The Brooks, computer labs, a rock wall, and a street soccer court. Examinations are located in the air-con CD Shelter. There is also a gym located on the first floor beside the discipline office.
