    Reflections 2021 1 PHOTO 2 Contents 4 CEO’s Foreword 6 The 3-14 Curriculum Project 8 Tanglin’s New House System 10 Inspirational Speakers and Events 12 Infant School 14 Junior School 16 Senior School 18 Exam Results 22 University Destinations 24 Sport 28 The Arts 34 Outdoor Education 36 Governance 38 Management 3 Chief Executive Officer Craig Considine Writing this summary of the year’s activities brings considerable pleasure; much has been achieved. One such achievement is the ongoing development of the Gate C building. It is fascinating to watch it push skyward, level by level, constructed by workers ferried in from all over Singapore. Construction workers must take pride in the erection of a facility that will help educate current and future Tanglin students. Towards the end of Term 3, we were fascinated to witness a convoy of 106 concrete trucks roll in to provide the material for our new 50-metre pool. I wonder what the collective noun is for a convoy of concrete trucks… My guess is a “crush”! Our vision of three schools in one was further enhanced this year. Tanglin’s Strategic Plan and vision for the future guides each school’s development plan. Leadership teams across the school understand what great education looks like in each section of the school. Their work is supported by Tanglin’s whole-school Academic, Co-Curriculum and Pastoral committees. The educational pathway for our students is continually molded to reflect what we know works, and the evidence-based improvements that continue to equip our children so well.
