School History

                                              Tanjong Katong Primary is a merger of Fowlie,Haig Boys'and Mountbatten Primary. It opened its
doors on 2nd January 2001 to receive 1700 pupils into its fold.Then , we had pupils from more than thirty countries, now it is around twenty-five countries. This great diversity is an advantage in the sense that the pupils are schooled in the local system but in reality they are exposed to a rich myraid of cultures merely by interacting with each other. Hence, our pupils are prepared locally but they are ready and fit for the world. They communicate well and use English confidently as the medium of communication among themselves, with their teachers and the adults around them - parent volunteers as well as service providers and adult mentors from Tanjong Katong Girls' Secondary and staff of the Retired Senior Volunteers Programme, (RSVP).

                         We had our official Opening on 15th July 2004. The pupils put up a musical, 'Change Of Winds' to depict the transition from three to a united one. This impressive musical garnered accolades from the guests, parents, MOE officials as well as the Guest-Of-Honour, Mr Abdullah Tarmugi, Speaker Of Parliment and MP for Siglap GRC. The vibrant community was also captured in our 'Amazed Trial', a prelude to the opening. The guests were taken through a trial of programmes and activities ran by the pupils. In this trial they were also exposed to the rich cultures and traditions of our school population. The guests were indeed amazed to discover the wealth of knowledge the pupils were privy too.
