Welcome to the new Sports pages on the Tanglin Trust School website!

Sport is an integral part of the Tanglin curriculum. Our goal is to involve, excite and motivate our students to participate in sport. We offer a vibrant, exciting programme involving a large percentage of the student body and we provide a wide range of competitive and non-competitive events to encourage maximum participation, individual aspiration, squad achievement and personal excellence.

Athletics, basketball, swimming, football, rugby and netball have been identified as ‘core’ sports at Tanglin. The majority of these are well established activities that already have well-developed training programmes in place and offer participants the opportunity to compete in inter-school events, both in Singapore as well as overseas. Tennis, gymnastics and cricket are considered to be developing core sports in which we have already begun to make considerable progress. For detailed information regarding current fixtures and results for each core sport, please click on the buttons above.

We actively encourage Sports Leaders and these students are progressively more and more involved in the management of the activities as they progress through the School. Sports Leaders Awards are also bestowed in an aim to develop life skills such as leadership, organisation and confidence building.

Excellence and commitment are also rewarded in the programme through the awarding of School Colours. These are awarded in each of the core sports activities.

Sports days are a key feature of the School calendar. These events aim to foster a love of sport and as many students as possible participate in these events. We operate a house system in both the Junior and Senior Schools and inter-house competitions are regular features. Fun events such as swimming galas are also held in the Junior School and promote participation rather than the competitive element of sport.

In addition to the organised PE activities, the School also operates an extensive collection of other activities and sports through it’s Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) and Sports & Recreation Club (SRC) programmes. These offer a range of recreational and non-competitive sports clubs for the student body.

We also run a series of internal School competitions, known as the Tanglin Tournament. These run for different age groups each term and provides the opportunity for all students to recieve training and compete in their chosen sport. For more information, please click here.

Regular competitions against other international schools in the region are also organised by the Federation of British International Schools in South and East Asia (FOBISSEA). This programme now forms an integral part of each participating school’s sporting calendar.

We are also pleased to have just secured our place in the South East Asia Student Activity Conference (SEASAC) for next year. Inclusion in this U18 International Sporting Competition, will ensure that Tanglin students have further opportunities to participate in prestigious International events throughout the year.
