Support Our School's Fundraising Effort!

As part of our celebration, the school is raising funds for the continued refreshing of learning spaces in Xinmin to support learning for current and future students. In recent years, using MOE funds, we have upgraded our library, food labs, canteen, and shooting range, as well as created a new MakerXpace. 

This fundraising initiative seeks to involve the community for a small share of our school’s improvements, for upgrading two vital learning spaces in our school — the SMART Rooms (Seminar, Meeting, Activity, Research, Training) and the AVA Theatrette — and/or other educational purpose(s) approved by the Ministry of Education. You can contribute by purchasing a seat at one of our exclusive fundraising tables:

Diamond Tier (1 pax) – $5,000 donation

Gold Tier (1 pax) – $2,000 donation

As a token of appreciation, the first 10 Diamond tier donors will each receive a complimentary table for 10 guests (Fully redeemed). In addition, spouses of Diamond, Gold, and Silver tier donors will be invited to the dinner and given a complimentary seat at another table near the fundraising tables (spouses who wish to sit together can do so by purchasing a second seat of the same tier). All donations are eligible for tax exemption, and can be made via this link: http://go.gov.sg/xms80fundraising

Thank you for investing in the future of our school and students!

As we celebrate our 80th anniversary milestone, we marked a meaningful first — a combined Mid-Autumn Festival celebration with our distinguished alumni. Our alumni, ever generous and devoted, sponsored the refreshments, mooncakes and door gifts, while our students planned creative games that filled the evening with laughter and joy. One of the highlights was the spirited pomelo-peeling competition, symbolising unity and celebration. More than just an event, it was a heartfelt gathering — a moment where past and present Xinmin hearts came together. We hope that through such occasions, our students will continue to draw inspiration from our alumni, who embody the enduring spirit of dedication and love for our school.

As Xinmin Secondary School celebrates XMS80, we’ve curated a special collection of iconic objects showcased on badge templates — each symbolising the growth, spirit, and memories of generations of Xinmin students. In alignment with SG60 and our XM Loves SG initiative, every object represents something uniquely Singaporean, drawing parallels between our school’s journey and the nation’s development over the decades.

This year-long initiative extends to all current Xinmin Primary and Secondary School students, as well as our valued stakeholders. Each participant is invited to design a commemorative badge that expresses what they feel is distinctly Singaporean, or something they deeply treasure about our nation and our school. Through these heartfelt creations, we hope to capture a shared spirit of belonging, pride, and identity, uniting us as members of the Xinmin family and celebrating Singapore’s 80th birthday together.

To further explore our nation’s heritage, we also encourage you to visit the Straits Times x National Heritage Board digital exhibition — a curated showcase of 60 nostalgic objects, one for each year of Singapore’s independence, each with its own unique story to tell.

And in the spirit of celebration, as we approach National Day, stay tuned — we’ll be unveiling a special surprise that holds a special meaning for all who call Xinmin home.

Join us for XMS80 Homecoming, a heartfelt celebration that brings together generations of Xinmin students, alumni, teachers, and partners in education. As we celebrate this year's Homecoming marked as part of XMS80 Celebrations, we invite you to relive cherished memories, reconnect with old friends, and witness how far our Xinmin family has come. From vibrant student showcases to interactive booths organised by students with different partnerships. XMS80 Homecoming offers a glimpse into the past, present, and future that fits very well to our theme.
