St. Andrew's Village (abbreviation: SAV) is a 13.5 ha school complex located in the Central Region of Singapore. It was officially opened on 26 August 2006,[1] with the ceremony being held at the 1000-seater Cultural Centre in the Junior College.
The Village consists of Woodsville Campus and Potong Pasir Campus, located on the east and west bank of the Kallang River respectively. Both campuses are linked to each other by the Jacob Ballas Bridge, forming the Village. It mainly houses the three schools of St. Andrew's School — Saint Andrew's Junior School, Saint Andrew's Secondary School and Saint Andrew's Junior College.[2] In addition to these three schools, the Village also houses the (Anglican) Diocesan Office, the Ascension Kindergarten, three church buildings and a hostel.
