Friends of Tanglin

At the heart of our school is our community, all within it belong to the Friends of Tanglin. The school has a dedicated Friends of Tanglin staff team to foster this community spirit, support partnership between parents and teachers and connect an active social and professional network. Friends of Tanglin warmly welcome and support new parents and help them integrate into Tanglin life and often, life in Singapore. The community is engaged in social events, community initiatives and volunteer programmes. Behind the scenes, our team of parent volunteers support our community by running the lost property office, second hand uniform BIG collection, $10 Christmas Shoppe and enriching classroom activities such as mystery reader, field trips, English Speaking Board (ESB) practice and Wow days. We respect and value the contribution parents can make to the school and through a grassroot approach, volunteer class representatives liaise between teachers and parents, and provide the opportunity to feedback through termly catch up/coffee meetings with the Heads of Year.

Throughout the year, our community comes together through various parent-led events/ groups, such as class socials, book, yoga, running and coffee-explore clubs and in non-Covid times, our exciting whole-school festivities, such as our much-loved Summer Fete and Christmas Fair. We encourage our community to be active and to get involved!
