School Motto

Behold The Light

School Crest

The colour red is symbolic of universal brotherhood and equality, and the colour white signifies purity in thoughts and actions. The colours coincide with the national colours of Singapore, as the future and aspirations of the school are intertwined with those of the nation.

The four parallel wavy lines represent the four races striving together with equal opportunity to attain knowledge, which is symbolised by the light of the torch.

School Song

With joy in our hearts we unite to sing
In praise of our Boon Lay School
In work and play we’ll always strive
To do our best as we onward go

The glorious light of Boon Lay
Steadfast may it shine far and near
Arise together and sing with cheer
Behold the light of Boon Lay School

We learn to grow and serve in faith
And show respect to all we meet
With ready minds and willing hands
To uphold your name will be our aim

The glorious light of Boon Lay
Steadfast may it shine far and near
Arise together and sing with cheer
Behold the light of Boon Lay School
