The following are the lyrics:
Reach Out for the Skies

At a time when hope was low
The journey seems unsure
But through it all
We’ve kept the flame alive

Now standing proud and tall
Our spirit strong and free
Building on hopes and dreams
It’s here we want to be

Chorus
Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
We’ll make our destiny

Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
Let’s soar and reach for the skies

When I think about my dreams
The future it can be
The time has come for me
To strive and to achieve

With hopes within our hearts
As one hand in hand
For family and our friends
Let’s do the best we can

Chorus
Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
We’ll make our destiny

Let’s reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we’ll all achieve
Let’s soar and reach for the skies

Our dreams we’ll all achieve
Let’s soar and reach for the skies
We can touch the skies

My Island Home
This is my home
She’s everything to me
Grace and beauty
In all that you see
My island home
Wherever I may be
I never will forget her
Nor will she forget me

Chorus
And I will sing
A song of home
A land of peace
Where dreams are born everyday
My home
Wherever I may be
I believe
You will always be a part of me

My island home
Home of my family
This is my future
Where I want to be
(This is my future
This is my home)

Repeat Chorus x 2


My home
Wherever I may be
I believe
You will always be a part of me
A part of me  

Plans for Choir in Terms 3 & 4

Welcome back to school in Term 3.
It was heartening to see everyone back at our first Choir Practice in Term 3.

The P6 pupils and teachers have stand-down from CCA to prepare for PSLE. We wish them all the best.

We are pleased to welcome Miss Eunice Yeo as one of our choir teacher-in-charge.

We are preparing for the following events:
1) National Day School Celebration Concert
2) School Year-end Concert (last day of school)
3) SYF 2014 (There will be several practices during December School Holidays.)

4) Choir Public Concert in Nov @ The Republic Cultural Centre (TRCC)
- Intensive preparation will be held immediately after SA2.
- 25 Nov (Mon): on-site rehearsal 1
- 26 Nov (Tue): on-site rehearsal 2 + Concert (in the evening)

This is a ticketed concert. We are looking for parents to sponsor concert program design, printing of concert programs or printing of tickets. Kindly contact Mrs Tong if you have the relevant contacts. Thank you.

We look forward to our amazing Singing Angels performing for the first time in our very first EDP Choir Concert!
Thank you in advance for the continual support from our wonderful parents!

Mrs Tong
