Redevelopment
In 1997, a proposal to rebuild the school was accepted by the Management Board and the Presbyterian Synod, and in 1999 the school was granted MOE's approval for total rebuilding.
In 2002 the school's redevelopment was complete, and students moved into the new buildings. A Homecoming March ceremony was held involving past and present students. The new school campus has an air-conditioned hall and a clock tower, paid for by the alumni and money raised over the years. It has a school field made from an empty plot of land nearby. The plot of land has been replaced by artificial turf.
Then acting Minister of Education Tharman Shanmugaratnam graced the official opening ceremony of the newly redeveloped PHS campus in May 2004. He spoke on "Developing strength of character and discipline" and commended PHS on its achievements in this area, emphasising the Singapore government's support for schools' use of corporal punishment to keep discipline problems in check.
