A GATHERING OF FRIENDS

Our annual Tanglin alumni events are back in action and this time, we met over 500 people in both London and Singapore. It’s been wonderful seeing everyone and for those who couldn’t make it, here’s a low-down by Alumni Executive, Jaaziel Job.

London November 2022

Our Annual Tanglin Alumni Event held in London saw over 400 people in attendance, including Dominic Nixon (Chairman, Board of Governors at Tanglin Trust School), Craig Considine (CEO, Tanglin Trust School), Staff Alumni, members of staff and Tanglin Alumni from across the UK and beyond!

Held at The Fable - a bar and restaurant inspired by fairy tales and the fables of Aesop in Holborn, this was an opportunity for our Alumni to reunite, catch up and share heartfelt stories from yesteryear over drinks and pub grub at the heart of London! Atara Bieler, who flew all the way from Israel to attend the event had this to say: “I studied in Tanglin during the early 60s so compared to the young people who finished high school five years ago, I was definitely one of the senior members at this November 2022 meeting in London. Nevertheless, I felt the closeness to the people and to those who have a connection to the school’s past. The event was lovely, and I found many people to talk with. Dominic did mention me in his speech which was touching and made my visit to London for the sake of the alumni event worth the while. I wish to mention Mrs Kathleen Crowe who was my headmistress in those days and whom

I admired ever since. Although not alive, she is still one of my role models. In sum, Tanglin is more than a school, it is a state of mind, a point of view on life and a solid backbone one is lucky enough to have grown, upon attending the school during his or her early and defining years. Thank you, Jaaziel and Shakila, for inviting me over. Looking forward to seeing you soon, maybe in Singapore.”

SINGAPORE (FEBRUARY 2023)

After a three-year hiatus, we were happy to have our Singapore Alumni Event back in full force. More than 100 Tanglin Alumni, former parents and Staff Alumni attended the mid-week social held at The Institute where they networked with other Singaporebased Alumni and had a firsthand look at the brand-new Tanglin Centenary Building. Craig Considine, our CEO, took this opportunity to share key updates on our school’s progress as well as to announce Charlotte Harris as Tanglin Alumni of the Year 2022! It was indeed a night to remember with many Alumni being thoroughly impressed with the progress of our school and how far we’ve come. These annual reunions and events pave the way for our Alumni to stay connected and engaged with the school. To stay connected as an Alumni, please visit us at alumni.tts.edu.sg.
