Achievements in Writing Competitions

The English Language department also actively hones our students’ writing skills and establishes strategic partnerships with relevant organisations to find competition platforms to help them excel in various prestigious writing competitions like ‘The Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition’ as well as the ‘Safety Starts with Me Creative Story Writing Competition’.

Through the close guidance of our English Language teachers, students gain the intellectual experience to not only broaden their writing experience, but also pit their writing skills and creativity against the very best local and international writers.

Fairfield is proud of the achievements of the following talented and creative young writers who delivered prize-winning masterpieces after seizing the unique opportunity to make their voice heard on both the local and global platforms.

Achievements in Public Speaking Competitions

In recognition of the budding talents in public speaking among Fairsians, the English Language Department identifies and registers students to participate in national and inter-school public speaking competitions such as the YMCA Plain English Speaking Awards (PESA) and National Public Speaking Competition (NPSC) every year.

Students are given close guidance in writing their own original speeches for the competitions, and they receive feedback on how to improve and prepare for the competitions.

The school is proud of all the students who have bravely taken on the challenge of writing and presenting their speeches in front of unfamiliar audiences and judges.
