School Motto
Dare to Aspire, Courage to Excel
School Crest
The stylised letters ‘F’ and ‘V’ that form the integral part of the school’s logo when put together represents the cross section of a fearless head of a lion.
Courageous, bold and strong being the trademarks of a lion, it also symbolises the spirit of Fernvale Primary – “Daring and Courageous”.
Encircling the stylised letters is a solid ring that signifies an all-round, holistic education that Fernvale Primary offers to every student. Enhancing that holistic feel is the use of the colour green to communicate a “nurturing” feel.
School Song
With our hearts ever willing to serve
Our vibrant community
Together as one working hand in hand
For peace and harmony
Aiming high standing tall
There’s nothing we can’t achieve
Fernvale Primary daring and courageous
Strong and resilient are we
Fernvale Primary responsible respectful
Gracious and honest we’ll be
Gracious and honest we’ll be
(Music by Iskandar Ismail [1956-2014];
