It is our great privilege and honour to share that Blangah Rise Primary School’s choir, Rising Harmonies, has been awarded the Certificate of Distinction at the 2026 Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation.

This marks the school’s first participation in the SYF in over ten years, making this achievement even more meaningful. Our young choristers dedicated months of effort to learning, practising, and refining their performances, strengthening both their vocal abilities and teamwork.

Through perseverance, discipline, and resilience during long hours of rehearsals, and with the unwavering support of their families and teachers, they rose to the occasion. Their performance showcased skilful singing, strong coordination, and a commendable sense of unity. We are immensely proud of their accomplishment.

Congratulations to Rising Harmonies on this outstanding achievement!
