Principal's Message
Dear Parents, Students, Staff, and Members of the TPSS Family,
It is an honour and privilege to join Tampines Secondary School as your new Principal. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my predecessor, Mr Lan Mingjun, for his exemplary leadership and unwavering dedication to the growth and success of our school. His efforts have shaped TPSS into a Caring Community of Learners, Thinkers, and Leaders — a legacy I deeply respect and will build upon.
At TPSS, we believe in nurturing every child holistically. Guided by our ICARE values — Integrity, Courage, Adaptability, Respect, and Excellence — our mission is to empower students to be future ready, thriving as a learner, thinking critically, and leading with purpose.
Students can look forward to exciting programmes aligned with our Learner, Thinker, Leader framework:
- Learning Skills and Growth Mindset: From our Start Right initiatives to innovative lesson structures, we equip students to be self-directed learners.
- Critical Thinking and Creativity: Through our Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Creative Engineering, our Learn for Life Programme (LLP) in Creative Expression and hands-on projects, students explore real-world challenges.
- Leadership and Service: Our STARS Leadership Framework and Values-in-Action programmes ensure students grow into responsible leaders who contribute meaningfully to the community.
As we chart the path forward, my focus will be on fostering a nurturing and inspiring environment where every student discovers their strengths, overcomes challenges, and builds a love for lifelong learning. Together, with our passionate teachers, supportive parents, and engaged community, I look forward to working alongside you to shape the future of TPSS.
Let us embark on this journey together — one of growth, discovery, and excellence.
Warm regards,
Mrs Tay Yang Fern
Principal
Tampines Secondary School
