History

BDS was established in 1980 with a teaching staff of 50 teachers and an enrolment of 1022 students. In June 1980, the school had the entire premises to itself after initially sharing its premises with Temasek Secondary School and Hong San Primary School. It was officially opened on 29 April 1982 by Lee Chiaw Meng, Member of Parliament for Tanah Merah SMC. It used to be located along New Upper Changi Road before it was relocated to its current premises at 1 Jalan Langgar Bedok in 2003.[3]

The new campus was officially opened on 21 February 2004 by Abdullah Tarmugi, Member of Parliament for East Coast GRC. A sports hall was constructed for the school in 2009. The school now sits on a three-hectare plot of land.[4]
