The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has put up two more schools for tender - the former Lee Kuo Chuan Primary School and the former Moulmein Primary School.

Both properties can be used either for educational or office purposes.

SLA said in a press statement yesterday that the two properties can help to meet the need for international schools in Singapore.

The tender for the former Lee Kuo Chuan Primary School, on Ah Hood Road in the Balestier area, closes on Aug10. The site has a land area of 17,635 sq m and a gross floor area of about 11,176 sq m.

It comprises a four-storey building and two single-storey ones.

Allowable uses include commercial school, private funded school, foreign system school and office.

The former Moulmein Primary School, on Jalan Rajah, has an estimated land area of 13,927 sq m and a gross floor area of about 9,094 sq m. It houses a four-storey building. It can be put to use as an office and commercial school or foreign systems school.

SLA said two other state properties, also former schools, were earlier put up for tender.

The former Rosyth School is now available for rent under the Authority's RentDirect Scheme. Allowable uses include commercial school, foreign system school, arts, dance or drama studio, and childcare or student care kindergarten.

The former Tanjong Katong Girls' School was recently awarded to the Canadian International School.

The tenure is on an initial term of three years and is renewable on terms up to 2015.

SLA has been offering an increasing number of state properties for use as commercial schools, kindergartens and childcare centres.

As at June30, 105 properties were being used for these purposes
