Congratulations to our Mathematicians

Thank you for providing us with so many opportunities that got us to explore the new world. Most importantly, thank you for never giving up on me. I would like to thank all the teachers who dedicated themselves to help us achieve our dreams and goals. It has been a privilege to have all of you as our teachers. You took the time to explain assignments and new topics, sometimes repeatedly because we weren’t paying attention. You allowed us to come to you during school lunch time and break time for extra help when you could rest and enjoy yourself. I will never forget those sweet and sour days that we’ve spent with you. Those are our precious memories and it will always remain fresh in our minds. Thank you very much dear teachers and administration officers, who helped me with my application for the Harvard Summer programme, where I met a lot of friends and professors. I am deeply grateful to everyone for giving me the honour of being your Head Prefect, student and friend and for all the support and, indeed, the joy you have given me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
