A MESSAGE FROM

Acting Head of Middle School
WELCOME MESSAGE
The Middle School (the start of Senior School for Years 7 to 9, ages 11 to 14) programme prioritises student well-being, ensuring that each child feels safe, supported, and valued throughout their educational journey. We introduce the core values of Community, Curiosity, and Confidence, which are integrated into every aspect of our school life, creating a positive and inclusive setting that nurtures well-rounded, resilient individuals.
With an innovative pastoral care system, we foster a deep sense of belonging within our students, enabling them to flourish and confidently embrace new challenges. Our broad and balanced curriculum, enriched by service opportunities and an outstanding co-curricular program, offers a diverse range of subjects, which teaches students to learn how to learn and inspires them to explore their interests and develop their unique talents.
Additionally, our exciting overseas residential trips in Year 7 and Year 8 culminate in an extended stay for Year 9 students at Tanglin Gippsland, Australia —an unforgettable outdoor learning experience that enhances the independence, leadership and social skills they need as they move onwards to Upper School.
Tanglin Highlands Programme
Building Curiosity, Confidence and a sense of Community
We’re committed to providing a holistic education that celebrates not just academic success but also wellbeing and active participation in co-curricular activities. That’s why we are introducing the Highlands Programme at our new Tanglin Gippsland campus in Australia. This 5-week immersive learning experience is tailor-made for Year 9 students, offering a safe and supportive environment where they can challenge themselves and grow.
The Tanglin Ten
The Tanglin Ten represents our shared commitment to developing learners who are ready for the future. Created through extensive collaboration between senior leaders across the school, it identifies ten core learning behaviours that underpin success both at Tanglin and beyond. Aligned with our Future Ready strategy, the Tanglin Ten reflects the qualities, habits and attitudes that will empower students to embrace challenges, adapt with confidence and make a positive impact in an ever-evolving world.
