Chin Chew Street (1862-1863)

SAS was founded on 8 September 1862 by the Revd Edward Sherman Venn through adopting a private institution owned by Sim Quee and Tye Kim in Chin Chew Street, in Singapore. The Anglican missionary led by Venn funded the school. Sim Quee and Tye Kim remained as headmasters of their school. This was unusual for the day as most missionary schools were not usually headed by Asians. The school was then known as the St Andrew's Church of England

Upper Hokkien Street (1863-1872)

On 10 September 1863, the School moved to Upper Hokkien Street because of the need for a better building and more space for the growing School. Soon after, Mr Cheok Loy Fatt was appointed the Headmaster.

After a couple of years, the school suffered from financial difficulties, and financial support was withdrawn in 1866 (NB: Rev. Edward Sherman Venn died in 1866, and this may explain why financial support was withdrawn at this time). In 1872, the Colonial Chaplain Canon J.A. Beccles successfully applied to the Government for financial aid. Thus, on 22 May 1872, St Andrew's School became a grant-in-aid institution.

Victoria Street (1872-1875)

In 1872, Canon Beccles was succeeded by the Revd George Frederick Hose as Colonial Chaplain. Meanwhile, the growing School moved to Victoria Street

Stamford Road (1875-1940)

The first building to go up was the Chapel in 1875 and in that same year, the School vacated its cramped premises in Victoria Street and moved into the Stamford Road site. Classes were held in the Chapel which also became an important centre of public worship.

The Revd J. Romanis Lee, who became headmaster from 1912, was a benefactor of the School as it acquired many of its modern characteristics during his period as headmaster. He set about expanding the premises of the School and raised the status of the School from a second grade school to top grade in 1914, in which the school started to offer the Senior Cambridge Examination. He also established a tradition of sports in the School; the school excelled in boxing

The Revd Reginald Keith Sorby Adams succeeded Lee as the next headmaster on 1 October 1934. By that time, St Andrew's became well known for its boxing and rugby. The need for a bigger area than the cramped site at Stamford Road had become a problem by the early 1930s. There were scarcely enough classrooms and there was no playing field for a School which showed so much enthusiasm and aptitude for outdoor games.

Pre-War Woodsville (1940-1942)

In 1938, Woodsville Estate comprising 7.49 hectares (18.5 acres) of land, was purchased for $60,000. Adams, assisted by Archdeacon Graham White, played a major role in the moving of the School to the Woodsville site, after previously rejecting two sites in Tanjong Katong and on Serangoon Road. The two-storey School buildings were completed and officially opened by S. W. Jones, the Officer Administering the Government, on 29 July 1940. The start of World War II

 in Singapore had the School closed.

Post-War Woodsville (1945-1990)

Immediately after the war, the School was the first to re-open. The school was then divided into Lower School and Upper School. Until the arrival of Adams who had just been released from internment, Dr D.D. Chelliah acted as headmaster. As the School population grew, the School grew as well with the addition of another floor in 1952. The Lim Teck Kin Tower was also added in that year.

In 1955, the Lower School was renamed the Junior School, and the Upper School was renamed Secondary School. In 1956, due to the rapid growth of the Junior School, it was further separated into two schools: Junior I and Junior II. Each junior school was run by its own headmaster, but this changed from 1960 onwards when both schools shared the same head.
In 1969, Pre-University classes started and in 1978, St Andrew's Junior College was established and moved to Malan Road. By the 1980s, the Woodsville site was unable to handle the growth of both Junior Schools and the Secondary School. Meanwhile, with nearby Potong Pasir

 developed, the School requested that a 4.18 hectare site allocated for education would be used for the St Andrew's Secondary School. Construction of the Secondary School started on 3 November 1984 and the buildings were opened in July 1986.

One Family Unbroken (1990-present)

In 1990, the two junior schools were combined into one school: St Andrew's Junior School. In 1996, the school had to relocate due to noise pollution

, in 1997.

As part of the St Andrew's Village project, all three schools were planned to return to Woodsville and Potong Pasir. Renovation and expansion of the Junior School started in 2003, and the new buildings opened in December 2004. Construction of a new Secondary School started in 2003, opposite the Junior School along Francis Thomas Drive, and opened in December 2004. Construction of the Junior College started in June 2003 after the Secondary School vacated the site and shifted to its holding location. The Junior College opened in December 2005 and a ceremony was held to mark its return to Woodsville/Potong Pasir. The Village was officially opened on 26 August 2006 at the 1000-seater Shaw Foundation Cultural Centre located at the Junior College.

In addition to these three schools, The village also houses the (Anglican) Diocesan Office, the Ascension Kindergarten and three church buildings: the Chapel of the Resurrection, Chapel of the Holy Spirit and Church of Ascension. Some of the new facilities at the Village includes an Olympic size swimming pool, a 1,000-seat performing arts centre (Cultural Centre), air-conditioned school halls, gymnasiums, indoor basketball court, roof-top basketball court, tennis courts, cafe, rockwall, astro-turf artificial field and a sheltered bridge across the Kallang River to connect the Junior and Secondary Schools to the Junior College across the river. In 2010, piling work began for the construction of St Andrew's Hall, a 12-storey hostel with sufficient rooms to accommodate up to 600 students with facilities including a dining room for 600 people, an adjoining multipurpose hall as well as a clinic to serve the residents of the hall and St Andrew's Village.

Saints' Spirit

The students of the school are encouraged to support the school sports teams. Particularly during semifinals and finals matches, the entire school is usually in full force at the venue to support the school team, led by the Prefectorial Board and the Student Government. Such enthusiasm towards school support is quite uncommon in other schools.

The school's rugby team also has its own battle-cry which is called the Saints' Battle-Cry. It is normally mistaken by people as the haka

. It is usually performed before the start of the match at a Final or at special events.

The Saints' Spirit also permeated into music producing members of such recording artists as The Sundowners, Tornados, Wes Cossacks, Straydogs, and Electrons with Rex Goh Tee Huat

Sports

The school has been famous since the 1930s, and in 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1966 concurrently, under the dedicated tutelage of late Mr Keong Snr, it rose to a new high with its boxing and rugby dominance over Singapore Boy's Town, Anglo-Chinese School, and Raffles Institution. Since the 1970s, the school has won the National championships consistently. The 1990s saw competition from Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)

School Song, Hymn and Crest

All three schools share the same school song, school hymn and school crest.
School Song

The school song was introduced by Mr Joseph Lee. The words of the song are from John Oxenham's poem Up and On.

Verse 1

Lives are in the making here,

Hearts are in the waking here,

Mighty undertaking here,

Up and On!

We are arming for the fight,

Pressing on with all our might,

Pluming wings for higher flight,

Up and On!

Chorus

Up Boys (Saints)! truest fame

Lies in high endeavour;

Play the game! keep the flame

Burning brightly ever!

Verse 2

Fair before us lies the way,

Time for work and time for play;

Fill the measure while we may,

Up and On!

Life and time will not delay,

Time is running fast away,

Life is now today; today;

Up and On!

Verse 3

Foes in plenty we shall meet,

Hearts courageous scorn defeat;

So we press with eager feet,

Up and On!

Ever onward to the fight,

Ever upward to the Light,

Ever true to GOD and RIGHT,

Up and On!

School Hymn

Our Father, by whose servants,

Our School was built of old,

Whose hand has crowned Thy children,

With blessings manifold;

For Thy unfailing mercies,

Far strewn along our way,

With all who passed before us,

We praise Thy name today.

They reaped not where they laboured,

We reap what they have sown;

Our harvest may be garnered,

By ages yet unknown.

The days of old have dowered us

With gifts beyond all praise,

Our Father make us faithful

To serve the coming days.

Before us and beside us,

Still holden by Thy hand,

A cloud of unseen witness,

Our elder comrades stand;

One family unbroken,

We join in one acclaim;

One heart, one voice uplifting

To glorify Thy name.

St Andrew's Junior College

St Andrew's Junior College (SAJC) started as pre-university classes in 1969 and in 1978, moved to its site at 2 Malan Road. The college started the new year in 1978 with a brand new image, including a College Anthem of its own. However, in 1993, the College adopted back the original St Andrew's School Crest, motto, song and hymn. The College has since returned to Potong Pasir
