OUR HISTORY

In 1934, the late Mr Huang Hua Long, along with 4 humble villagers, took upon themselves the responsibility of nurturing and educating the young. With meagre resources, they managed to build a zinc and attap school and called it Yeu Nerng School. Conducting lessons in Mandarin and dialect, Yeu Nerng catered to 20 students from the neighbouring villages. Despite poverty and difficult

times, the students of Yeu Nerng achieved commendable examination results. After the Japanese Occupation, the restoration of the school once again confirmed the undying spirit of selfless dedication. By 1960, the school had an enrollment of about hundred pupils. The enrolment grew to about 693 in 1978 with a staff strength of 23 teachers. With a committed new management committee, Yeu Nerng grew to become a 9-classroom, double-session school. Over the years, the school had consistently managed an overall percentage of passes above the National Average in the Primary School Leaving Examination. Yeu Nerng Public School continued to grow from strength to strength. In 1982, it moved to the site at Bedok North Street 3 to cater to its rapidly expanding population. The school also changed its status from an aided to a government school and was renamed “Yu Neng Primary School”. English was adopted as the school’s main language medium in the curriculum. In January 2003, the school went through PRIME upgrading and had to move to a temporary holding site. During this period, the school merged with Min Xin Primary School. In 2005, the school moved back to its current school building at Bedok North Street 3 and was officially reopened in July 2006. Through the years, Yu Neng Primary School has maintained the traits and virtues of its early founders. 2015 was a significant year for the school as it commemorated its 80th anniversary. With its rich history, strong foundation, values and beliefs, Yu Neng continues to grow and strive towards its motto of “Light Up and Shine”. Mr Ng Sin Soo (1960 – 1983)

While our students enjoy a well-deserved June break, our teachers continue to grow professionally and contribute to the wider education fraternity.

We are proud to celebrate three of our Mathematics teachers — Mdm Ng Lay See, Mrs Janice Keng and Mdm Aishah — who are presenting at the SgLDC 2026 Virtual Meet, sharing innovative practices that bring data literacy to life.

📊 Using authentic datasets, Excel, the Student Learning Space (SLS) and SAFA (Short Answer Feedback Assistant) feature, their lessons empower students to:

* Connect mathematics to real-world contexts
* Strengthen data interpretation and analysis skills
* Build digital literacy alongside mathematical understanding
* Receive timely feedback that deepens learning

👏 We celebrate our teachers for their commitment to professional excellence and for inspiring fellow educators through the sharing of effective classroom practice.

Yu Neng Primary School is proud to be part of the Redesigning Pedagogy International Conference 2026 (RPIC 2026).

Our presentation shared how data can help us better understand how primary school students answer Chinese Language multiple-choice questions. By looking closely at how the phrasing of questions and choices affects their answering speed and accuracy, this research helps us develop smarter teaching strategies to support our pupils in Mother Tongue and bilingual education.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to conversations on future-ready learning and educational innovation alongside educators and researchers from around the world.

School’s Out, Bring The Sports Equipment Out! 🏃‍♂️💨

While our students are officially enjoying their well-deserved school holidays, the teaching staff stayed back today to sweat it out with an epic, high-energy game of Captain’s Ball!

From intense interceptions to spectacular goals, it was the perfect way to let our hair down, build team spirit, and recharge our batteries after a busy term. Who knew our teachers were this competitive? 😉🏆

A huge shoutout to everyone who came down, played hard, and cheered loud. We definitely earned our school break today! 💪✨
