Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As the newly appointed principal for this established school, I too share in the anticipation and enthusiasm that comes with a fresh start. Before my posting to this school, I had the honour of serving as a school principal at both Eunos Primary School (2009 to 2016) and Geylang Methodist Primary School (2016 to 2023). I began my teaching career in 1988 at Si Ling Secondary School, where I taught English and English Literature. Over the years, I gradually took on more responsibilities. The experiences gained from working alongside many dedicated educators, engaging with students of diverse profiles, and collaborating with supportive parents have been most helpful. I look forward to contributing and learning more from our staff and all of you in our shared pursuit of educational excellence here at First Toa Payoh Primary School (FTPPS).

My predecessor, Mr Chua Choon Guan, had over the years, laid a very strong foundation for us to build upon, A true leader, he consistently prioritized the interests of both staff and students in every decision and action. Mr Chua led by example, showcasing an unyielding work ethic and a passion for fostering a positive and enriching educational environment. His tireless efforts and genuine concern for the well-being and growth of the school community left an indelible mark, setting a high standard of excellence for us to uphold and build upon. We are grateful for Mr Chua's invaluable contributions and appreciate the legacy of integrity and selfless dedication he leaves behind as we wish him a very happy and fulfilling retirement. I am sure he will be fondly remembered by the staff and the students. Moving forward, we will continue to foster innovative teaching and learning practices, ensuring that each child remains at the centre of our purpose. We will continue the strong partnership we have with the parents, partners, and stakeholders, striving to bring out the best in every child and empowering them to be future-ready.

I look forward to meeting many of you soon and learning more about how, together, we can enrich your child’s school experiences with us. Your strong support and collaboration are key elements for your child’s success.

Mrs Jennifer Choy
Principal
