School Motto

We look ahead

School Crest

The letters ‘PT’ stand for Pei Tong (培童), which means ‘nurturing the young’. The proximity of the letters represents the close rapport between students and teachers. It also signifies the close relationship between parents and teachers. The crest is an emblem of the importance of these intricate relationships in our endeavour to develop each child to his/her fullest potential. The motto of the school, ‘We look ahead’, reiterates the vision of the school’s founders – to nurture the young and prepare them for their roles in the future.

School Song

♫ Listen

Let us grow in strength and wisdom
With heart and soul, we do our best
We know for sure with good system
We will succeed when put to test.
To our school we all give honour
We learn and play in healthy ways.

Our country we cherish and adore
We all pledge to be strong and true.
Take courage friends for we are one
Respect one another honour our elders
Diligent stead-fast in all that we do
This is the path to a bright future.
