Meet the TTJS News Team We are a team of children from the Junior School and we love writing and finding out about all the fun things that are going on! Every week, we meet after school for a CCA and write about things that are happening in the Junior School.
Being in TTJS News is not just about writing, we also take photographs and enjoy designing pages for our articles. Pret-a-Portrait showed us how to use a big camera and we found out all about different computer applications when we helped the Communications Team set this page up, which was really fun.
Golf at Tanglin by Alex Clark, Year 12.2 It has been a great joy to be one of Tanglin’s golf students. I have had the opportunity to play in golf tournaments since Year 8, including the annual SEASAC international golf tournament on four occasions. Over the last year, Tanglin golf has grown significantly and now there is a clear and direct pathway for participation in competitive golf from as early as Year 3. Tanglin golf has been very fortunate to have Richard Harries as our golf pro at Champions Golf, who has helped to grow the golf programme. He currently runs two sessions a week for the Golf Academy and one session a week for the more experienced golfers in school. His sessions are always fun. Last term, Tanglin took eight boys and four girls to represent the school at the SEASAC tournament in Yangon. Later in the academic year, the school will be entering the FOBISIA Golf Competition in Malaysia. Earlier at the Charity Golf Tournament, golfers from the Tanglin community raised over $5,000 for Riding for the Disabled. Thank you to Richard Harries, Mr Turrell, Mr McKellar and Mr Morris who have all been instrumental in raising the profile of golf at Tanglin.

There could be news about sports, special events or visitors – we even produce a cool weekly quiz! The TTJS News is on Firefly in the Lucky Dip section. We are thinking about printing a newspaper which will be given out to each class and will be in the Junior Library.
