School Song

School song unavailable

This torch of learning, this store of skill
With sweetness and light will the city fill
From strength to strength we will always grow
Knowledge and skill will make us glow

Chorus
Upper Serangoon, Upper Serangoon,
We always strive and never yield
In classroom, hall or on the field
Respect for all, malice to none
In school and out, we all are one

We will jump and fight and race and run
But all in friendship and in fun
We will gladly try with all our heart
Always to play the proper part

True and loyal we will always be
To noble ideas of the free
We will always stand with heads up high
Reaching, reaching for the sky
