[edit] School Crest
The School Crest is a composition of blue on yellow. The strong blue represents civility, seriousness and respect whilst the bright yellow, warmth and cheerfulness. The superimposition of these contrasting indicates the desire for a balanced approach to education.
The Crest possesses the characteristic of duality in design. The leaf which signifies the sanctity of life transforms into an image of a heart complete with twin chambers. The vessels of each chamber work to form the letters 'E' and 'P'.
'E' and 'P' are synonymous with these ideals of 'Endeavour' and 'Persevere'. These words which rest on an open book, articulate that the pursuit of knowledge should ultimately lead to the cultivation of the soul. Success, symbolized by the laurel, is measured by these values held within the heart.
The bold outer ring stands for unity and cohesiveness among staff and pupils - the school's vision of the school as one big family.
[edit] School Song
The lyrics to EPPS' School Song was written by the former Principal, Miss Chiang Wai Leng, resulting in a song which conveys the vision and mission well. The music for the School Song was composed by Mr. Tan Soon Yong and the final score is the result of the work of Mr. Mike Chia.
[edit] Parent Support Group
The school also has a parent support group that helps out in school concerts and other activities related to the school. Their Chairman is Mrs. Yvvone Chin and they have a big taskforce with them.
