Character is, in the long run, the decisive factor in the life of individuals and of nations alike.

- Theodore Roosevelt

TPSS believes in nurturing Tampinesians with values and character for the betterment of the society. We seek to inculcate in our students sound moral values and equip them with the essential skills and knowledge to succeed in life.

We teach values by engaging the minds of our students and developing their empathy to bring about changes in their behaviour. We believe that when our students clarify and demonstrate values, they will understand universal values which uphold social order and harmony.

Using our unique ACE approach (Authentic, Collaborative and Experiential), we want to develop in our students the desired values, socio-emotional competencies and citizenship dispositions to

• take pride in our national identity, have a sense of belonging to Singapore and be committed to nation-building,

• value Singapore's socio-cultural diversity, and promote social cohesion and harmony, and

• care for others and contribute actively to the progress of our community and nation.

Knowing that our students now have very different view of race and religion, it is important for us to have these conversations to help students reflect on the role they play in building a cohesive Singapore.

Our CCE vision is also to develop student leaders who advocate our environment and play an active role in our national Go Green movement.
