Yio Chu Kang Primary School created our Values Ambassadors, depicted by four school-designed mascots - Carrie, Rex, Rei and Ecka - and our principal officially launched them to the school on 25 April 2022. The event marked the debut of these four cute-looking mascots that breathe life into our school culture of values-in-action to guide our students to be self-disciplined individuals to live out the school values.
School Song
The lyrics of the School Song were written by the Principal of the School, Mr. S. Ratnagopal in July 1970.
We are happy boys and girls at school
Our days with knowledge bright and full
To work, to serve without a sigh
E’er we maintain our standards high.
Chorus
Yio Chu Kang our very own
The seeds of learning here are sown
We’re youths of character keen to serve
The name of our school we’ll ever preserve.
Our Yio Chu Kang School forever
Success in our endeavour
Onwards, upward we will strive
To serve our Singapore with pride
