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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I have studied within the walls of Sayfol since 2008, the year I entered Year 1. In the years following that, Sayfol has taught me invaluable lessons of friendship through the students and teachers I have met and become acquainted with. The jovial bouts of laughter we enjoyed in lessons that were altogether too tense for growing minds, hung on joy. Leadership, during my period serving the Prefectorial Board of our school and through my efforts and opportunities granted to me, becoming Deputy Head Prefect. I daresay my school has been more receptive to talent, creativity and positivity, and I am grateful to all the teachers for upholding the Sayfol crest; Ms. Zuraidah, my Prefect Teacher, Mrs. Chandran (who always scared my friends and I a bit, all in good humor) and of course, Mrs. K, the ever watchful eagle-eye who ensures the growth of all the students. Without them, would I be with my 7A*s? I should think not!

I loved Biology lessons and my teachers recognised the potential in me very early on. I learnt to think out of the box and be diligent. Thank you Sayfol.

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.
