    On the 14 February 2007, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced that under the programme PRIME Phase 9, eight more schools will be upgraded from 2008 to 2010. Cedar Girls' is one of those selected.

    Cedar moved to a holding site at 3 Geylang Bahru Lane from Dec 2007 to Dec 2009 during the upgrading. The holding site was formerly the site of Victoria School from 1984 to May 2003. After Victoria School vacated the building, it was occupied by Saint Andrew's Secondary School from Jun 2003 to Dec 2004 and later on by Geylang Methodist Secondary School from Jun 2005 to Jun 2007. In Dec 2009, Cedar moved back to its present site and started the new academic year in 2010 at the new building.
