Congratulations to our Grade 5 students on their promotion!

This special milestone marks the culmination of their Elementary School journey and the beginning of an exciting new chapter in Middle School. Through years of learning, growth, friendship, and discovery, these students have accomplished so much—and they made us proud every step of the way.

Grade 5 students, you made it! We wish you all the best as you take your next steps and continue your journey at SFS and elsewhere.

A heartfelt thank you to our teachers, parents, Parent Association, and the many parent volunteers whose support and dedication helped make this celebration so memorable.

The Spring 2026 edition of The Banner is now available online!

Centered on the theme of legacy and the future of education, this issue explores the people, stories, and traditions that continue to shape SFS while looking ahead to what comes next.

From seven generations of SFS families and 50 years of student journalism to the inspiring story of Alumna of the Year Hyungji Park ’85 and reflections on why storytelling matters in the age of AI, this issue celebrates the enduring impact of our community.

We invite you to explore this special edition and the stories that connect our past, present, and future. Happy reading!

Our Grade 8 students embarked on their final Middle School adventure this week with a five-day trip to Jeju Island!

Surrounded by the island’s natural beauty and adventure, students explored a variety of outdoor experiences while creating lasting memories with their classmates and teachers.

More than just a trip, this journey was an opportunity to celebrate their time together as a class and as a community before taking the next step into High School.

We hope the friendships strengthened, experiences shared, and memories made in Jeju will stay with them for years to come.

Our British School Key Stage 1 students and families enjoyed a fantastic Field Day yesterday filled with energy, laughter, and house spirit!

From exciting activities to friendly competition, it was wonderful to see students giving their best efforts while families cheered them on throughout the day.

One of the highlights was seeing our community come together to celebrate and enjoy this special event. These shared experiences help create the strong sense of belonging that makes our British School so special.

A huge thank you to Ms. Stockdale for organizing such a memorable day, and a special shoutout to our Year 6 students for their outstanding leadership in facilitating the event and supporting our younger learners.

Our Pre-K students and families enjoyed a wonderful Sports Day today filled with laughter, movement, and plenty of fun!

It was especially rewarding to see how much our youngest learners have grown over the past year as they participated with confidence, enthusiasm, and determination.

A special shoutout to our Grade 4 students, who did an amazing job facilitating the event by explaining activities, encouraging participants, and helping our younger students every step of the way.

Thank you as well to Ms. Bec Stockade for organizing such a fun-filled event and creating a wonderful opportunity for students and families to celebrate together.

Our Middle School students recently celebrated a year of meaningful service and community impact at the Community Engagement End-of-Year Celebration.

Throughout the year, students worked in community engagement groups to develop and carry out service projects that addressed real needs within the SFS community and across Seodaemun-gu. At the celebration, students proudly shared their work through interactive booths, showcasing both their passion and the positive impact of their projects.

As the inaugural year of the Community Engagement program, the journey included both learning opportunities and growth. Seeing our students take initiative, build connections, and contribute meaningfully to their communities was a powerful reminder of the value of service learning.

Congratulations to all of our Middle School students for their dedication, creativity, and commitment to making a difference. We look forward to seeing this program continue to grow and inspire future generations of student changemakers.

Our Elementary School recently held two fun-filled Field Days for students in Kindergarten through Grade 2 and Grade 3 through Grade 5!

Competing alongside their house teams, students eagerly gave their best effort in hopes of earning valuable points while demonstrating teamwork, perseverance, and plenty of school spirit.

As we approach the final days of the school year, it was wonderful to see students and families enjoying time together and creating lasting memories as a community.

A big shoutout to our Grade 5 students for helping facilitate the Kindergarten to Grade 2 Field Day. Their leadership, enthusiasm, and support helped make the event a special experience for our youngest learners.

And thank you to our teachers for their hard work in organizing these fantastic events!

Sports Day season is underway, and our British School Key Stage 2 students kicked it off with a fantastic day of fun, teamwork, and house spirit!

Throughout the day, students gave their best efforts across five exciting events: Capture the Flag, Shuttle Relays, Obstacle Course, Long Jump, and Target Games, before coming together for a classic Tug-of-War finale.
The energy was high, the competition was fierce, and the final results could not have been closer—with just a single point separating the top two houses!

We were delighted to see so many parents cheering from the sidelines and helping make the day even more special for our students.

A special thank you to Mrs. Lindsay and her Grade 7 students for their excellent organisation and support in making the event such a success.

To our graduates, thank you for the joy, energy, leadership, and spirit you brought to our community. We are excited to see where your journeys take you next and hope you always remember the community that is cheering you on.

Congratulations once again, Class of 2026. Your future is bright.
