Accompanying him was Director Of Schools (North Zone) and other distinguished guests. .2011
YTSS will be celebrating its 25th anniversary on the 9 Jul 2011 Saturday. The committee proposed the theme “25:00 - We Will Excel” The 25:00 is a symbol of the 24hr timing, an hour after 24:00, to represent the future. The 25 represents 25 years in history. We have chosen the theme of “We will excel” as that of the school motto. This allows us to go back to the very basics of our vision that made the school what it is today and serves as a reminder for the Ytzens to continue to strive for excellence. There are 2 main foci in the theme. The celebration of 25 years of founding is an opportunity for the school to take stock of our achievements and to look forward into the future. The key focus for Speech Day is that this should be a celebratory event for the students to celebrate the school’s success and achievements. The school NPCC unit has also attained the 5 years consecutive gold award, akaOutstanding Achievement Award.
