A Note from Our Principal
Dear prospective students and parents, Yishun Town Secondary School is dedicated to nurturing students, fondly known as YTZens, into confident leaders, active citizens and global thinkers. As confident leaders, YTZens have strong values to lead themselves and others well. As active citizens, YTZens seek to make a difference in the lives of others. As global thinkers, YTZens are creative, critical and confident learners who appreciate and respect other cultures.
At Yishun Town Secondary School, we believe that good character is the foundation of a person. In our achievements, we focused on having good values, and in particular, our school values of integrity, respect, gratitude and resilience. We also believe in the spirit of excellence, and our teachers and staff seek to improve in all that they do to support our students better.
We hope you will join us. We Will Excel!
MR NG TEO HENG Principal Yishun Town Secondary School
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are an integral part of our students’ holistic education. Through CCA, students discover their interests and talents while developing values and competencies that will prepare them for a rapidly changing world.
CCA also promotes friendships among students from diverse backgrounds as they learn, play and grow together. Participation in CCA fosters social integration and deepens students’ sense of belonging, commitment and sense of responsibility to school, community and nation.
Every secondary school student takes part in one CCA taken from the following options:
Clubs and Societies
Physical Sports
Uniformed Groups
Visual and Performing Arts Group
This gives students the chance to pursue their specific interests or ideas, and expands the range of activities available in school.
