Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we bid farewell to Term 3 and embark on the fourth quarter of 2024, we are filled with gratitude for the journey thus far. Time has indeed flown by, and as we reflect on the past term, the word "gratefulness" resonates deeply within us.

While Term 3 was packed with activities and programmes, it was also a time of celebration and reflection. We commemorated Racial Harmony Day and celebrated National Day, which served as poignant reminders of the peace and harmony we are privileged to experience as Singaporeans. We are also reminded of our roles in nurturing our young ones to continue to actively contribute to build on the prosperity and harmony of our nation.

Founder’s Day was another significant occasion for the Fairfield community, for us to express gratitude to Miss Sophia Blackmore and the many individuals who have contributed to the rich tapestry of Fairfield Methodist School (Primary). This year’s Founder’s Day was especially significant for us as our Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) Department and Student Leadership (SL) Committee collaborated to launch the “Our Acts of Kindness (OAKS)” Programme. This initiative aligns with our Fairsian Outcomes (FO) and will be a yearly platform for our students to serve the community, exemplifying the value of "Serving God and the Community". For this year’s inaugural OAKS, our students contributed items of necessities and packed them into Care Packs. The students presented the Care Packs to our support staff, who are the unsung heroes whose service is important for the school to function daily.

The term culminated in the celebration of Teachers’ Day, a time to honour and appreciate our dedicated educators. Our teachers’ unwavering commitment to the holistic development of our students is truly commendable, and we are grateful for their selfless dedication.

Term 3 has been a whirlwind of activities, and we are thankful for God’s protection and blessings. Our staff have managed to carry out all the programmes that they have planned for and brought the students through many exciting and meaningful learning experiences both in school and learning journeys outside school.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all parents and guardians, as well as our esteemed Partners in Education (PiEs), for your steadfast support and understanding. We are deeply moved by the contributions and unwavering support shown by our PiEs, who have tirelessly assisted our teachers in many of our programmes. Thank you, PiEs, for setting up a one-day alfresco dining experience for our teachers, preparing breakfast for them to celebrate Teachers’ Day. Our teachers are very touched by your generosity and love.

As we approach the final term of the year, we recognise that it will be a period of consolidation of learning and assessments for our students. While this may bring about some stress and anxiety, the school will partner our parents to stand united in supporting and guiding our students through this journey. Let us offer our encouragement and affirmation to our students, emphasising the importance of their best efforts and celebrating their achievements, regardless of the assessment outcomes. All the best to our Primary 6 Fairsians sitting for the PSLE, we are cheering for you and praying for you!

We look forward to your continued understanding and support as we work together to nurture and empower our students.

Serving with you,
Mrs Soh Mei Foong
Principal
