"My internship with the Junior PE team gave me confidence, responsibility, and the chance to learn from some of the best teachers in their field. Every day felt meaningful – putting smiles on the children’s faces and knowing I had made a positive impact was the highlight of my experience. I quickly realised how no two classes are the same and how important it is to adapt, whether managing a lively Year 3 lesson or moving activities when the weather changed. The team trusted me with responsibilities, from leading sessions to collecting classes, which was an amazing feeling. I went into the summer thinking I wanted a business career, but this internship completely changed my perspective – it showed me that my passion lies in PE, and my dream now is to become a PE teacher at Tanglin."

"My internship with the Languages Department was incredibly rewarding. I supported Year 8 students new to Latin, helping them catch up with their peers while building their confidence and enthusiasm for the subject. I also developed classroom management and tutoring skills, created a short literature curriculum for Year 9 that will be used throughout the year, and even supported a Year 13 student preparing for university Classics applications. Beyond teaching, I designed communications materials, assisted with administrative projects, and gained valuable teamwork and organisational skills. The Classics team were supportive throughout, and it was especially meaningful to reconnect with old teachers. This experience strengthened my communication, creativity, and teaching skills, and gave me confidence that I had made a real difference to both students and staff."

"The whole process was smooth and professional, with the Alumni team always supportive and responsive. Working with Year 2 gave me an authentic insight into classroom life – from planning small-group activities to supporting behaviour systems and one-to-one learning. I developed leadership, communication, and emotional intelligence, while learning to adapt to different needs and stay calm in challenging situations. Although I plan to pursue a career in finance, these transferable skills will stay with me in any profession. Most importantly, the experience pushed me out of my comfort zone, gave me confidence, and allowed me to make a real difference to the children I worked with. I would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone wanting to grow personally and professionally while contributing meaningfully to the school community."
