Summer School Programme

During the last week of the June holidays, our Principal and his team organized a 3-day Summer School programme for all our academic and corporate staff to strengthen communication and collaboration within the St Francian family.

We gathered to review the school culture and to brainstorm ideas on how to improve school effectiveness. All the staff agreed on the improved culture which will bind us as a stronger team.

In St Francis Methodist School,

Every St Francian matters;

We do everything with love;

We care for one another; and

We seek continuous improvement!

The Summer School programme ended with a staff bonding activity at different places of interest in Singapore. Check out our happy faces! 😊
