Principal's Thoughts

We bade farewell to 2024 on a high note. The school has ended 2024 very well. We were very encouraged by our PSLE results over the past 2 years! In 2024, we saw many of our children doing exceptionally well at PSLE and were placed in secondary schools of their choices. This is a testament of the hard work and dedication of our teachers and the support given to the children by their families. The children have also done well in Creative Areas. Our Modern Dance and Chinese Orchestra (Drums Ensemble) bagged Certificates of Distinction while the Guitar Ensemble received the Certificate of Accomplishment at the Singapore Youth Festival 2024. On the sporting front, our children have also won prizes in sports such as Swimming, Athletics, Taekwondo, Squash, Tennis and Football. Just like how the lyrics found in the school song described, the school is like a plant that has blossomed to become a big strong tree. This tree supported by the deep roots of the 9 schools which formed its heritage. Farrer Park Primary School Version 2.0 (FPPS 2.0) is an amalgamation of 9 schools over 7 decades as depicted in the mural below.

As a school, we strive to give our children a balanced and holistic educational experience that will prepare them for a life of learning and thriving, that every child would be “A Fountain of Knowledge” with a “Heart of Gold” as espoused by the school’s Vision, anchored on the school Values of Curiosity, Empathy and Care. I look forward to the new year. May we enter 2025 with a great sense of anticipation and hope, anchored on Values, working towards the Vision of the school.

In your service,
Dennis Yap
