We’ve been living in Singapore for just over six years. The three boys attend Tanglin
Trust School – William and George have been enrolled since nursery, while Owen
started in Year 2.
We decided on Tanglin as we liked the friendly and caring environment. Although
it’s a large school, William, who was four years old at that time, found the campus the
least intimidating of all the international schools we visited.
William has just completed a project titled ‘Kampongs to Condos’, a wonderful look
at Singapore’s development over the last 50 years. This topic was superbly brought to
life for our techie son, using the new Junior School’s Fab Lab to create 3D versions of
the country’s iconic landmarks.
George loved the social and green projects led by Ms Hatton. As a member of the
Green team, he has just made a presentation on the effects of global warming to 800 of
his peers during “Our World Day”. Owen has also benefitted from some truly inspirational
form tutors in Junior School, as well as vibrant and engaging teachers in Senior School.
Apart from their friends, the boys really love the outdoor education trips. From the
zoo to Malacca to Sarawak, each trip is a test of the children’s social skills and packs
a punch in terms of educational content.
We are sure that the development of the new campus and collaboration with the new
media hub at Portsdown will see the school continuing to innovate and evolve as Miss
Griff intended 90 years ago.
