[23 Nov 2018] Led by Mr Richard and Ms Ming, our P.4-6 Choral Speaking Team defeated strong schools to win the First Place award at the 70th Speech Festival. This is our fourth First Place in this category in eight years since Mr Richard started coaching our Senior Choral Speaking Group. We are all very proud of our boys' achievements and thankful to our trainers' expertise and diligence and tremendous support from our parents.

This year, our boys turned Jan Dean's poem "Crocodile" into a live-action hunters vs crocodiles scene, with human beings as the villains. Adjudicator Mr Timothy McCarthy praised the team in his written feedback: "A focused assembly. Great costumes. A firm title. A great opening line that caused the essence of the story. A lot of style here and a sense of performance. Rhythm marked and a great flow to the line..."

Congratulations to our team's success and best wishes to all the other teams for the Speech Festival this year!

Led by the Vice-Principal Ms Nathalie Chen of Henry Park Primary School (Singapore), 30 excited P.5 students travelled all the way from Singapore to Ying Wa Primary School for a half-day school experience on 13 Nov. 

After a campus tour guided by our student ambassadors, they had a global issue discussion in the English Room, a coding lesson in the STEAM Lab as well as an amazing dodgeball contest at the playground. All our accompanying students and visitors interacted well despite of the short time together.

Ms Chen first visited YWPS 5 years ago as a Science Subject Head together with other Head of Departments from various Singapore schools. She was moved by the vibrancy of our school and therefore decided to bring students and staff to us when she became a Vice-Principal. We thanked them dearly for their kind visit and bringing us such a good exchange. Early next year some of our P.5-6 students will have a study tour in Singapore, perhaps we may meet again soon!
