tk choir
TK Choir
TK Choir was formed in 1992 with merely 30 members. Since then it has grown from strength to strength and today it is 150 strong.
TK Choir has achieved tremendous success. It won its first Gold award in the 1995 S’pore Youth Festival Central Judging of Choirs (SYF).
Each subsequent year TK Choir carried away the gold award . In 1999 TK Choir won the Best Choir Award in the SYF Competition. In 2002 TK Choir was admitted into the prestigious Choral Excellence Programme(CEP), an honour bestowed upon the best choirs.
There was no let up despite our great achievement. We went on to win Gold and Gold with Honours in SYF 2003 and 2005 competitions respectively.
TK Choir works very hard to maintain a high standard. Besides practising for competitions, the members are exposed to a whole variety of experiences : They perform in public concerts, share choral experiences with their counterparts overseas in exchange programmes. They also render their services at our school concerts and other local organizations.
TK Choir provides opportunities for leadership roles essential in the development of our young citizens for the future. They also learn to grow in the right environment. They learn to interact and share their knowledge with one another. The seniors guide the juniors in all aspects of the programme.
In short TK Choir provides ample opportunities for growth and development in the non–academic area.

tk band
TK Band
The beginnings of the Tanjong Katong Band can be traced to two root branches. One branch - from the former Tanjong Katong Technical School (TKTS) - began in the year 1965. That band started out humbly as a brass band with only 26 members. It called itself the Tanjong Katong Brass Band - TKBB, in short.
The first shoot of significant improvement began in 1967, when TKBB had its first combined performance with its sister band from the girls school (TKGS) next door. The TKGS band would be the other root branch of the TK Band. Along with that band, came a lady band instructress, Miss Irene Joseph, and she turned out to be the most important element that spurred and nurtured the band's development.
The 2 bands combined, and took on its own persona. It was named the Tanjong Katong Band, affectionately called TK Band. Under Miss Joseph's tutelage, the band was able to grow quickly, imbibing in both outdoor drills and music building. By 1972, the band won its first Mace of Honour. The band was also able to consistently win the outdoor competitions despite extremely fierce competition.
In the indoor competitions, the band fared well too. It is through her teaching that the band must be able to handle both the outdoor competition and the indoor competition that created the genesis of the band's versatility in these two performance forms.
Two significant events happened in the late 80's and early 90's. In 1989, the combined band split. The band went two separate ways. Miss Joseph stayed on with the band from the technical school, and it retains the name TK Band till today. In 1992, she retired, leaving behind a rich legacy and more importantly, a living one. For it was because of her shining example, that she was able to leave behind not just an outstanding band but also a cohort of very inspired alumni to carry on her work.
In 2006, honouring the school's 50th anniversary, the band put up a stellar display performance. Unprecedented in the history of display band performance, TK Band used large props that included a bell tower and 2 canons to complement its spectacular finale - a large formation of the St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow , with all its colourful domes, supported by the great Russian piece 1812 Overture. It was awarded the Display Band of the Year Award for the 5 th consecutive year, a feat no other secondary school in Singapore has ever achieved to date.
The band continues its tradition of excellence, serving as a living spirit for all members to continually strive toward greater heights, and to define excellence.

Our Activities:
Cadets in NCC Sea have the opportunity to participate in both land and sea activities, conducted by the school and NCC Sea headquarters.
The activities conducted include physical training to improve the cadets' fitness and basic drills and commands. Cadets also learn about nautical knowledge, orienteering skills and bends and hitches. Cadets learn how to work effectively with one another through organizing of camps and major projects and ceremonies.

Our Achievements:
During the 2006 September holidays, NCC Sea HQ organized the Annual Sea Competition which comprises of 3 Bends and Hitches Events and 6 Kayaking Events. A total of 21 schools participated in this competition.
For the bends and hitches events, Tanjong Katong NCC SEA Unit ranked top among all schools that participated.
In the kayaking events, TK NCC SEA unit came in First for 5 out of the 6 relays contested for. With a total of 89 points, we once again emerged as the Overall Champion, hence making us the only school to have won the championship in 4 consecutive years.
Although many schools have trained hard and were eyeing for the overall championship, we, TK NCC SEA unit, remained unbeaten.
Our success owes much to the undying spirit, unconditional commitment, fiery passion and strong teamwork from the cadets, CLTs and teacher officers.
Our cadets trained extremely hard since March, on both Saturdays and Sundays, scorching under the hot sun, withstanding the harsh weather. Additional trainings on Mondays and Tuesdays were also incorporated to improve the mental and physical fitness of the cadets.
Congratulations to TK NCC SEA cadets for their excellent performance!

I thank all of you who are still reading my posts .Today, i am going to talk about one more value, something relating to being creative.It is the school value :
"INGENUITY"
Are you creative in your art work? Able to think quickly for ideas? Well if you can , you automatically have this quality. Being ingenious means means being resourceful in finding ways to solve different solutions.It also means having an alertand thoughtful mind.Do you have one?Do worry if you do not.As time passes, you will slowly learn how to provide ways to solve dilemma.Anyway there is a person who has an extremely ingenious mind.He is Leonardo Da vinci Why do I say so?Well, he can paint impressive paintings, come up with new and wonderful inventions to make the world a better place and he is also able to find answers to man science mysteries.So i hope many of you would be like him and have an ingenious mind also having the "INGENUITY" inside you .

Ravan, India's infamous organ trader was carrying a briefcase with US$2,500,000 earned from illegally trading organs. He was trying to make a transaction in the bank of Barisal City,Bangladesh. Blake was watching him like an eagle as he was about to steal the briefcase. He received the green light and dashed into the bank and snatched the briefcase and fled to a stolen taxi where his buddies Bolbar and Luke were.Ravan took out his gun and scared everyone beside him. He aimed at the taxi and shot but he missed. He hijacked an auto rickshaw and chased them. They were heading to a nearby port where a fishing boat was waiting for them. They boarded the boat with the suitcase and maneuvered it out of the port. Meanwhile Ravan hijacked a speed boat and chased them. The fishing boat made a sharp turn. Ravan maneuvered the speed boat to quickly and it capsized and Ravan drowned.The three buddies hi-fived each other and went to a port in Kolkata where there were threeHolden Gemini ZZ/Z. They were heading to New Delhi. On their way, they did not come across a single petrol station. 3/4 of their journey they were forced to stop by the side of the road because their fuel tanks were empty. During the night, they were robbed by an armed bandit gang.One year later......Blake had saved enough money working as a manager in an industrial company to trade in the three Holden Gemini ZZ/Z to trade in for three Mitsubishi Evolution IX. THey were off for their quest to get back their stolen money. Recently there was an article in the newspaper about the gang.The buddies managed to get information about the gang's hideout and planned carefully. They arrived at the gang's hideout after a 50km drive. They found their way to the suitcase and they made a quick escape. However,they were caught by the gang leader,Addiaf. Being trained kung fu in China,Luke approached him. They were in a battle. Luke vs Addiaf. Addiaf was strong but slow. Luke gave Addiaf blows but he seemed undefeatable. Luke found his weak spot and defeated him.They left the hideout in the three evolutions with the rest of the gang with Harley Davidsons chasing them for revenge. The buddies crossed a railway. A gang member crossed the railway without looking out for any incoming train and he was smashed by a train and died instantly. Two down, there were six more gang members left. The buddies led the gang into a police trap where they were arrested.The buddies donated most of the money to the poor and saved the rest of the money. They were glad that they managed to receive their money back.

a story of integrity
"Should I or should I not",I was wondering if I should take the wallet found on the chair.
I picked the wallet up, opened it and to my surprise,a few thousand dollars worth of notes fell onto to the ground.As i picked it up with amazement, my mind starts to drift away. i thought : "With that money, I could buy an Xbox,a Playstation, some computer games.......That's a lot of money! I think I should take it.But, what if the owner could not find it? He would be very sad to lost so much money. Should I take the wallet?"
At last I decided not to take the wallet and I put the wallet back to the original place.
integrity
One of the TK values is Integrity,and on this post,I will elaborate more on what integrity is allabout.
To me,integrity is very important virtue in life as it teaches us right from wrong.Integrity is one of the most important virtues a person should
have.
Integrity is also attributed to various parts or aspects of a person's life. Acting with integrity on some particularly important occasion will always be explained in terms of broader features of a person's character and life. A person is subject to many conflicting desires. If one simply acted at each moment out of the strongest current desire, then one clearly acts without integrity.
Persons of integrity do not just act consistently with their
endorsements, they stand for something.
charity
Charity is actually the noble act of giving when you wish to help others for their gains and not yours.
Charity is a virtue that we should develop as it brings out our character and shows our upbringing as a person as well.One should not think that charity is all about you giving either.You will feel good with yourself for carrying out a good deed, having a sense of accomplishment.
If you think that there was no benefits for you then think of it from another perspective.Just imagine if you were the one out there needing the money urgently and hoping everyday that people might donate more money to you for your personal needs.
People like that might not even be able to afford their wants but do not think of them as pitiful because money is not everything either.
Happiness is what that counts and if you can lead a happy life, that is good enough for you.
So make the best out of things and always look on the bright side of life.To be able to really carry out charity in your life should really be considered an asset in life and treasure it as it is something many people would want but also something money just can't buy.
ability to succeed
He had a keen eye and quick mind that led him to make important scientific discoveries, yet he never published his ideas.
He was a gentle vegetarian who loved animals and despised war, yet he worked as a military engineer to invent advanced and deadly weapons.
He was one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance, yet he left only a handful of completed paintings.
He is also someone that we can look up to as an example in our lives. so please do not think that the ability to succeed is something that you are born with. So just keep trying and finally you will get it.As the saying goes 'practice makes perfect' .Do not be afraid to step out and stand out among others.The ability to succeed can be expressed through leadership skills and much more.
