History

West Spring Secondary School had been scheduled to be built over a plot of land over at Dairy Farm Road, where there used to be a temple which had a well. The well was believed to bring good fortune to those who cleansed in its waters. Based on the location of the plot of land, the school was named as West Spring Secondary School, where "West Spring" means "a spring (or well) in the West".

West Spring Secondary School started classes on 2 January 2001, then moved from a temporary holding campus at Teck Whye Crescent to the new permanent campus at 61 Senja Road in January 2005.[1]
