Open Days (12th March – 14th March 2021)

Sayfol really shaped me into who I am today. My years at Sayfol taught me to always focus on improvement. I learnt to be confident but at the same time realistic. I joined the MOKPO Maritime University, and I am putting all my experience I gained at Sayfol to test.

Entrepreneurship has been instilled in me through the lessons I took during my time at Sayfol. I understood the fundamentals of economics and business through experienced teachers.

I have been here since kindergarten and over the years, I have seen so many changes. From the countless teachers who have come and gone to the friends I have made and lost. Most of all, I have seen myself change within the walls of this school. I feel that’s what this school is all about. Being in Sayfol International School is not just about academic learning, but to find the people you need to help you change. This school provides (most of the time) an environment just for that. A hotpot of different people; among them, friends who could help better you. I’m thankful to have found my best friends around the world. I have so many memories, moments and milestones that I’ve experienced and lived in this school, and it is bittersweet to say goodbye for now.

Sayfol has always been a home away from home for almost 14 whole years! I still commonly reminisce about my times as a younger and more immature version of myself, wandering the school yards with close bonds with friends that I still take pride in, to this day. The friendly rivalries within my batch of classmates further propelled me to the excellence that I have achieved. This is not to mention the incredible open-armed friendliness that the school emanates, which can be felt by both existing and new coming students! During my time at Sayfol, I felt internal growth in myself, from a person which hid under a shell to somebody who is comfortable and proud to be myself, despite the flaws which others may see. I obviously cannot mention the vast knowledge and technical skills I obtained without mentioning the incredibly industrious teachers, who work extremely hard to make our school life incredibly fun and take most of the burden, that is stress, off our shoulders. It is in Sayfol where I learned the difference between a regular community, and the close-bonded, tear-jerking family, that I had the honor of partaking in; and I totally miss my adventures as a wonderful student in the star institution of my life!

Sayfol throughout the years has been a place for everlasting memories to be made. Be it amazing teachers that I miss so dearly already, friends that will inevitably last a lifetime and interactions with everyone in and out of class that truly shaped all of us into who we are now. It’s an incredible honour to be the valedictorian of my year and it could not have been achieved without the relentless determination of our teachers to constantly push me to achieve my best. We truly underappreciate the diversity and accepting nature of this school, and to say I will miss it all would be a gargantuan understatement. Thank you for all the memories, lessons and experiences that I will be sure to carry on throughout my life.

English literature and the mysterious world of literature gave me the motivation to go ahead and try new things in my life. I’m studying journalism as part of my course and Sayfol has everything to with what I have become today.

My journey in Sayfol started the moment I stepped into Primary 1. From there, the next 11 years went like a flash. I still think back and recall the moments, which I will always cherish. Along the way, I met different types of people, made friends, lost a few and, not to forget, learned something new every day. I won’t say I never faced any obstacles, but overcoming them made me who I am today. I can sincerely say that the past 3 years had been the best years of my life. I will really miss all the good times of laughter and fun, along with some difficulties and mischief. I will never forget the teachers who helped guide me to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. Most of all, my friends with whom I have missed spending time with. My time at Sayfol International School has truly been a remarkable ride and it’s time for us to take the next step forward.

My 11 years in Sayfol International School have been overwhelming. Time flew by unbelievably fast, where it did not even feel as if I have been in Sayfol International School for that long. My eagerness to graduate quickly in primary school has now become mixed emotions, where now I feel quite sad yet excited for my next step in life. Hard times during my journey in Sayfol International School have been made easier from the guidance by teachers and friends which I will never forget. With that being said, I’m happy to say that I will never forget my years in Sayfol International School.

While the whole world is emotionally and economically dealing with the trouble of COVID – 19, we sincerely appreciate every single effort from the school’s management to ensure the continued learning support to all of their students and the professional way that all this contingency has been managed so far. Since Day 01 of this MCO, all the teachers and school’s management have exhibited such phenomenal planning to deliver the best in class virtual schooling experience to the students and their parents.

I joined Sayfol in Primary 1 and I have continued to study until A Levels. For the past 13 years, Sayfol has given me wonderful experiences. It’s been a place to learn and develop. Sayfol has prepared me fully for my next chapter in life, being a student in Seoul National University. I am glad to have studied in an institution that has helped me to reach my goals and I am saying it from the bottom of my heart. The school is really committed in nurturing students and tailors to the needs of individual students. Everyone at Sayfol including the administration staffs are helpful and approachable. I am able to ask for assistance given. In addition, I feel Sayfol will be able to help and bring out the best in its students as long as they are willing to listen and learn. The school has students from all over the world. We are taught to be tolerant and respect one another. As I am able to embrace different cultures, thus I am able to mingle well with all.
