APSN Groundbreaking Ceremony
Amarkala Deepavali celebration in Tanglin School
Amarkala Deepavali! APSN Tanglin School celebrated Deepavali with music, tradition and a spirit of unity. The event began with a warm and joyous Light-Up Ceremony, where our school leaders, Mr Phua, Mrs Suwandi and Mr Lai, illuminated the peacock lights. This set the festive tone, bringing everyone together in the true spirit of Deepavali.
Students then participated in a Deepavali quiz, exploring the traditions and practices of the festival to deepen their understanding. This was followed by a creative activity where students made paper diyas, which were hung as garlands and displayed at the school entrance to enhance the decorations. Each student also received a bag of Murukku snacks to enjoy.
The excitement continued with a mesmerising dance performance by Mdm Rashmitha from Bollywood Divas Dance Studio, whose graceful moves captured the essence of Bollywood. To wrap up the celebration, students eagerly joined a Bollywood mass dance, learning new dance steps and moving to the beat, led by Mdm Rashmitha, her daughter Sanvi, and our enthusiastic Parent Support Group.
The event was a wonderful blend of culture and creativity, leaving everyone with fond memories and a deeper appreciation of the significance of Deepavali!
National Day Celebration 2024
APSN Tanglin School celebrated our nation’s 59th birthday with hands-on activities, singing of national day songs and special appearances. Students eagerly received the National Day fun pack, graciously co-sponsored by Celanese Singapore Pte Ltd. The Observance Ceremony was spearheaded by Parade Commander Rayyan Naufal from Secondary 1, who led the contingent comprising lower secondary class representatives with pride. The excitement continued with the dance of the nation, led by students Serina and Suu Htet, who were featured in the ActiveSG music video, and teachers from the PE department. In honour of Singapore’s rich history and unity, each class crafted a 3D sculpture of Singapore icons using recycled and art materials. The celebration was further enlivened by a special appearance from August, the National Day mascot! The celebration concluded with an impressive precision drills by the NCC cadets from Bukit Merah Secondary School. Happy 59th Birthday, Singapore!
Gear Up, Let's Play! - TS Sport Day
On 19 July 2024, Tanglin School held its much-anticipated annual Sports Day event “Gear Up, Let’s Play!. We infused it with the celebration of Racial Harmony Day which is usually commemorated on 21 July. The event buzzed with energy as Secondary 1 and 2 students enthusiastically engaged in a variety of sports and games including floorball, football and captain’s ball. Meanwhile, the Secondary 3 students delved into a new sport, Tchoukball through an engaging workshop where they learned more about the sport and honed their techniques before playing against their teachers. Not to be outdone, the Secondary 4 students embraced the spirit of adventure by participating in a challenging Dragonboat activity, demonstrating their strength and coordination on the boat.
Throughout the day, the atmosphere was filled with good sportsmanship and mutual respect, as students cheered for one another and celebrated each other’s successes. This event also served as a wonderful platform for promoting racial harmony, with students coming together to play, compete and build lasting friendships regardless of race. It was truly inspiring to see our students embodying the values of inclusivity, unity and respect, making “Gear Up, Let’s Play!” not just a day of fun and sports, but a celebration of Racial Harmony Day and our school’s harmonious community.
Racial Harmony Day
In the spirit of celebrating our multicultural diversity, Racial Harmony Day in APSN Tanglin School this year was commemorated in collaboration with the annual ‘Gear Up, Let’s Play’ Sports Day on 19th July. Students had a fun day of playing in teams with their peers from different racial and religious backgrounds.
To promote greater appreciation of social cohesion and harmony, students and staff members were also encouraged to don their ethnic attires in school on 17th July. It was a mosaic of colours and cultures seen at the Racial Harmony photo booth and the traditional games played during recess. It was indeed heart-warming to see the harmony and inclusivity displayed at APSN Tanglin School.
Sec 3 & Sec 4 Camp - Beyond Boundaries 2024 @ Camp Christine
The Sec 3 and 4 Camp Beyond Boundaries 2024 was an experience that inspired personal growth, fostered camaraderie, and nurtured a deeper understanding of leadership and school values. The camp brought together a diverse group of Sec 3 and 4 students, each bringing their unique strengths and perspectives. The 2-day 1-night experience at Camp Christine in Jalan Bahtera was a beautiful memory for both students and teachers. Together with SerendipET and EDU trainers, students were challenged to show their resilience, teamwork and commitment through different engaging, adventurous outdoor activities. Teambuilding and daily living activities united the students further, enabling them to apply the knowledge and skills they learned in school in groups made up of students from different classes. The first night ended with a campfire where students performed, creating a beautiful memory that will last a lifetime.
After fun-filled team building activities on day 2, our students returned to school where they completed their Values-In-Action (VIA) programme. The VIA instilled in students a positive volunteerism spirit, to give back to the community and nurture empathy. Secondary 3 students hosted activities for elderlies from Lion Befrienders and carried out food distribution to needy families in collaboration with Ar-Rabitah Mosque. On the other hand, secondary 4 students helped in Lucky Gardens Nursery with gardening activities, cleaning up Delta Sports Hall, and food distribution. Through the various adventures, team challenges, and collaborative activities, students’ barriers dissolved, and bonds of friendship and unity were forged, creating an inspiring and unforgettable experience for all involved.
Chinese New Year 2024 – Enter the Dragon
To usher the year of dragon, the theme for APSN Tanglin School Chinese New Year celebration was “Enter the Dragon”. The celebration kicked off with an entertaining Lion Dance performance by our instructor-aide, Mr. Alston Lim and a Sec 4 student, Lawrence.
Students savored CNY cookies while learning the origins of the treats and accompanied by Q&As led by the Parent Support Group (PSG). They were also entertained by a song item, sang by one of the PSG members and a dance performance by the Gan Eng Seng School’s dance ensemble, entitled Longevity of Joy, which was much to the delight of the students.
To commemorate the year of the Dragon, students decorated and designed Tanglin’s Dragon Pillars as the school’s entrance. The celebration concluded with a Lohei and students receiving oranges and red packets filled with golden nuggets, symbolizing prosperity and embracing the Dragon’s spirit.
Hari Raya Puasa Celebration 2024 – ‘Menjelang Hari Raya’
Tanglin School had a wonderful Hari Raya celebration on 9th April 2024. All students came together to learn more about the festival, its significance and the traditions through various activities. Prior to the celebration, students also participated in a ‘sampul’ (or green packet) making activity. During the celebration, students had their hands on air clay to create different cookie sculptures. They definitely had a good time exploring and working with their hands. These colourful creations formed part of our school display at the foyer.
Our dedicated Parents Support Group (PSG) conducted an interesting segment on Ketupats. Our school’s ‘Unsung Warriors’, from the Silat CCA group put up a wonderful performance to hype up the celebration. The celebration ended with a beautiful rendition of Hari Raya songs, old and new lead by our students. It was indeed a memorable event.
APSN Tanglin School Open House 2023
On 23rd August 2023, APSN Tanglin School opened its doors with a warm and enthusiastic welcome for parents, caregivers, and students during its Open House event. The day was filled with excitement and provided invaluable insights into the vibrant school community.
Visitors were treated to a unique opportunity to explore curriculum exhibits prepared by various departments, featuring engaging hands-on activities that showcased the school’s commitment to experiential learning. The event also highlighted the diverse range of Co-Curricular Activities (CCA), which was concluded with performances delivered by the talented Performing Arts CCA groups – TS LaTeens and the Unsung Silat Warriors.
It was a day filled with exploration, discovery, and artistic inspiration. APSN Tanglin School was thrilled to share our innovations with all who attended the event, fostering a strong connection with the community and the enthusiasm for learning.
Tanglin Parents Workshop
On 8 September 2023, APSN Tanglin School organized the Vocational Education (VE) and Healthy and Safe Relationships (HSR) workshops for parents that aimed to create opportunities for parent-child bonding through eco-friendly activities and to provide tips for parents to communicate more effectively with their child on sexual development and safe relationships. One segment of the workshops consisted of making eco-enzymes, iced chocolate and coffee grounds body scrub. Through the activities, parents and students learnt how to contribute to a sustainable and green community. Another segment of the workshops was a talk on the importance of sexuality conversations. Parents were equipped with skills to enhance communication with their child on sexuality matters. We are grateful for the contributions from our community partners, and the invaluable support of the parents in providing meaningful and engaging learning experiences for our students.
Gear Up! Let’s Get DigiFIT 2022
APSN Tanglin School innovatively incorporated technology to promote fitness and physical activities amongst the students. During the last few weeks of Semester 1, students were engaged in a variety of motion-based fitness activities with the use of interactive technology such as the Ring Fit Adventure on the Nintendo Switch and an IOS application called Active Arcade. Students displayed excellent sportsmanship and demonstrated the values of resilience and respect for one another as they gear up and become digitally fit.
Parents’ Caregivers’ Appreciation Day 2022
It was a day to remember for Tanglin School’s staff, parents, caregivers and students as they spent a Saturday afternoon at the Parents’ Caregivers’ Appreciation Day 2022. The theme for this year is “A Tribe’s Journey: Learning, Playing, Bonding”, and the event indeed fulfilled the theme! Thank you to all parents, caregivers and students who participated in the event and may you continue to learn, play and bond as a family!

Themed Numeracy Experiential Day 2022: Grand Prix F1 Championship @ TS, students competed in the different activities across their level. This is an authentic learning approach in education that enables students to explore, discuss and meaningfully construct concepts and relationships in contexts that involve real-world situations that are relevant to them.
APSN Tanglin School Multimedia Club 3D Project 2022
The Design Thinking approach empowers students at APSN Tanglin School (TS) to realize their innovative ideas into reality. A combination of divergent and convergent thinking has enabled our students to think out of the box to problem-solve creatively with confidence and resilience. Students from TS Multimedia Club incorporated design thinking with 3D technology to transform empty filament spools into clocks that will be used in all classrooms including the Principal’s office.
