Club Street – between the fancy restaurants of today and the Chinese clubs (hence the name, “Club” Street) of yesteryear, yg uncovers the history of a school located at the end of Club Street, named Yueng Ching Chinese School.
The school may no longer be in Club Street, but it lives on as Yangzheng Primary School – A pinyinised version of Yueng Ching? yg writes:
because of the increasing enrolment, yeung ching went through a few extension and expansion programme until eventually it occupied a 5-storey bulding. in 1985, yeung ching merged with telok ayer and peck seah primary schools. it retained its name. the school celebrated its 60th anniversary in the 5-storey building with 48 classrooms.
it surprised me to learn that the school is still around today, in a different location and under a different name. in 1988, it moved to serangoon avenue 3 and became a government school. yangzheng primary school celebrated its 100 years of existence in 2005.
