Alumni Heartstrings 2008


On 19th April 2008, the Alumni Heartstrings event has brought much joy and fun in the 15 students involved and not forgetting, the alumni who went along.

First stop: Swensen's in Plaza Singapura. Some of the students had never been in Plaza Singapura, much less visited a restaurant like Swensen's. The students had a meal they never tasted before and were even treated to an ice-cream - the Giant Earthquake!

After lunch, they caught a locally produced movie "Singapore Dreaming" at Sinema Old Skool.

The students enjoyed their day with the Alumni and were grateful for what was given that day. The Alumni hopes they would continue to do well academically!

Here are some of the pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Alumni Heartstrings is an event organised by the Alumni to bring under-priviledge students for an outing. The students are specially selected based on their good behaviour and academic performance.






Speech Day 2008

PYSS celebrated its Speech Day on the 18th April, with its theme called "Celebrate@PY". The school honoured the prize winners and partners in, what you may call, unique and captivating. With the multi-stage concept (4 stages placed in each corner of the school hall), everyone attended was continuously entertained in full turn, quite literally - with the modern dances, NCC precision drill, military band loud banging, wushu fights, the teachers band jamming, guzheng performance, and more. Quite the extraordinary!

The Alumni congratulates to the following alumni for being awarded the Friends of School Award:

June Tan
Joanne Bock
Fazli Zainudin
Erica Aallarey
Zakiyyah Banu
Nurhazimah Bte Saini
Nursyimah Bte Razak Effendi

Students awarded for their superb acadamic performance
