At a time when hope was low
The journey seemed 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

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

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

Tomorrow’s Here Today
Music and Lyrics by Don Richmond
Performed By 53A


1st Verse
Raise your head to the skies
This is how we all begin
See the fire in your eyes
Feel the yearning deep within
Take a leap and you will fly
With All the wishes that you own
Make your dreams light up the sky
Home is where you’re not alone
PreChorus
And our hearts will beat together
Echoing what dreams may come
Walking tall in any weather
Time has come bang the drum
Coz Tomorrow's Here Today


Chorus
Dream Away
Take the world by the hand
Cause Tomorrow's Here Today
Dream Away
Come let's go right away
Cause Tomorrow's Here Today

2nd Verse
Step into a brand new day
Tomorrow's calling out your name
When you know just who you are
You can't stop you are on fire
Looking up beyond the stars
Fly the flag and raise it higher
PreChorus
And our hearts will beat together
Echoing what dreams may come
Walking tall in any weather
Time has come bang the drum
Coz Tomorrow's Here Today
Chorus
Dream Away
Take the world by the hand
Cause Tomorrow's Here Today
Dream Away
Come let's go right away
Cause Tomorrow's Here Today


Bridge
When we run along
And we’re standing tall
When we sing our song
No way that we can fall
Be what we want to be
When we make our way
Till it’s plain to see
Tomorrow’s Here Today

Chorus
Yeah
Take the world by the hand
Cause Tomorrow's Here Today
Yeah
Come let's go right away
Cause Tomorrow's Here Today

SYF 2016 results!

              'Certificate of Distinction!

Congratulation to all Choir SYF pupils, parents and all teachers!

Our pupils participated in SYF 2016 on 19 April, Tues. Prior to this competition, they have put in a lot of  effort during their choir practices and have stayed long hours in school just to hone their singing skills. During the competition, they put in their best and  have impressed Mrs Pek as well as the audiences and the SYF judges.

On behalf of all Choir teachers, I'm proud to inform all parents and pupils that we have achieved 'Distinction'  in this competition!

A very big thank you to all parents who have been very supportive of us as well as to your child during this tough period.

A very big thank you to all parent volunteers who have helped us out on that day to get the pupils ready for the competition. It is with your help that we were able to get the pupils ready on time before they set off to the competition venue.

Last and not least, a big thank you to our instructors, Miss Angela Lee and Miss Jean Teo for their efforts and patience in guiding the pupils to attain perfection in their singing.


Below are pictures taken on the day of competition. Enjoy!
