School Song

Yung An Primary proudly stands
Amidst industrial Jurong
It’s here that we’re led by guiding hands
It’s here that we’ll learn the right from wrong.

Chorus:
Boys and girls of Yung An
We will turn back never
Boys and girls of Yung An
Progress ours forever.

Knowledge strive we daily to gain
To show our best in work and play
May Yung An’s glory never wane
May Yung An’s flag high with honour stay.
