Students, teachers, parents and alumni of Methodist schools and Methodist Church members gathered at Anglo-Chinese Junior College bright and early on Saturday, 29 March 2025 for MethodistWalk 2025. Organised by the Methodist Schools’ Foundation (MSF), the walk was graced by Guest-of-Honour, Minister for Education Mr Chan Chun Sing and included over 4,500 participants.
Themed “Walk in the Truth of God”, a total of $1.214 million in donations and funds was raised for the biennial Walk. The funds will go towards supporting the work and enrichment programmes in all 15 Methodist schools. In particular, they also help the schools provide the necessary financial assistance and bursaries to needy students. This year, the Sustainability Bazaar returned to MethodistWalk 2025, an initiative with stalls run by students, selling pre-loved items ranging from apparel to books to plants and herbs to raise additional funds for the schools. The participating schools for the Bazaar were Anglo-Chinese Junior College, Anglo-Chinese School (Primary), Geylang Methodist School (Primary) and Methodist Girls’ School.
The Walk traditionally sees primary school students complete a 2 km walk while secondary school students manage a 4 km route. Group walks among various alumni friends and church groups are a common and heartening sight as well. As Mrs Joni Ong, Chairman of MSF observed, “It is truly a wonderful sight to behold—schools and the Church coming together to support the common cause of holistic education within a Methodist God-loving environment. We at MSF are grateful for this church-school partnership as we work toward our vision of standing in the gap for our students, through prayers and financial giving.”
