On 8 September 2023, APSN Tanglin School organized the Vocational Education (VE) and Healthy and Safe Relationships (HSR) workshops for parents that aimed to create opportunities for parent-child bonding through eco-friendly activities and to provide tips for parents to communicate more effectively with their child on sexual development and safe relationships. One segment of the workshops consisted of making eco-enzymes, iced chocolate and coffee grounds body scrub. Through the activities, parents and students learnt how to contribute to a sustainable and green community. Another segment of the workshops was a talk on the importance of sexuality conversations. Parents were equipped with skills to enhance communication with their child on sexuality matters. We are grateful for the contributions from our community partners, and the invaluable support of the parents in providing meaningful and engaging learning experiences for our students.

TS Artistry is an inclusive arts event to showcase the gifts and talents of students, teachers, parents and community partners. Themed Synergizing Talents, the artistic talents of our students were celebrated through a buffet of interactive art displays and inspiring performing art items. Students also participated in a series of Pre-Artistry workshops where they acquired new skills and worked alongside their peers to create different artefacts or choreograph a variety of performances. We would like to express our appreciation to DHL Express Singapore and the staff from DHL West Service Centre for hosting our teachers and students to be part of the aluminium tooling and clay workshops. Special mention to Faith Music Centre for preparing our students to put up a band ensemble during the concert segment. TS Artistry has provided our students another avenue to ignite their creativity through the various art activities and to raise greater awareness on how the arts is able to contribute to an inclusive society.

The Choose, Think and Grow Green programme is a school-wide initiative at APSN Tanglin School with the primary purpose of engaging our students in activities that increase their awareness of climate change and its impact on the environment. Throughout the whole process that began with the planning to the actual carnival on 17 August 2023, students were actively transforming materials, such as cardboard, empty cans and bottles collected around the school premises and from their homes, into works of art to decorate their class banners, game booths and stalls. Pre-loved items were on display during the carnival. The elements of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle have imbued in our students the value of building a more sustainable living environment. It was truly a purposeful and meaningful Echoing Green Carnival for all students, teachers, staff and volunteers as we strive to advance the national agenda on its sustainable development.
