This centre was the first of its kind in secondary schools in Singapore.{{cite news |last=Lee |first=Valerie |date=27 May 1985 |title=Pupils 'hideaway' in their own school |url=http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19850527-1.2.49.2?ST=1&AT=advanced&K=clementi+town+secondary+school&KA=clementi+town+secondary+school&DF=&DT=&NPT=&L=English&CTA=Article&SortBy=Oldest&P=3&Display=0&filterS=0&QT=clementi,town,secondary,school&oref=article |work=The Straits Times |location=Singapore |access-date=17 February 2018 |via=NewspaperSG }}
