School Song

We pupils of East Payoh
Take pride in doing our best
In everything that we attempt
We strive that we will win the test
With eagerness to work hard and teachers to help us
We promise that we will not fail
To keep our goal is sharp focus

We’re here to get an education
We’re here to prepare for life
But all that we can achieve
Depends on what we can imbibe
The path that is before us
Is not an easy one
But with our full determination
The prize before us will be won.
