Tanglin School Sports Day<br />

took place on 8 August<br />

2007.<br />

The RP sports hall was filled<br />

with laughter and loud<br />

cheers as the teams gave<br />

their all in the games –<br />

captain’s ball and floorball.<br />

Displaying precision, agility,<br />

strength and endurance, the<br />

games continued until the<br />

sport emerged at the<br />

finals.<br />

Having earned a well<br />

deserved rest, the students<br />

were rewarded with a<br />

<strong>Keppel</strong>-sponsored goodie<br />

snacks and stationery.<br />

But, the day was not over for<br />

them. The Tanglin School<br />

Sports Day ended on a high<br />

note, concluded with a funfilled<br />

mass dance session.<br />

Giggles and applause<br />

filled the hall as students,<br />

teachers and volunteers<br />

alike sashayed across the<br />

dance floors.<br />

Teo Wei Kiat, Hull Engineer<br />

at <strong>Keppel</strong> Shipyard Tuas,<br />

shared, “The event was<br />

enjoyable and meaningful.<br />

Seeing all their innocent<br />

smiling faces gave me a great<br />

sense of satisfaction.<br />

“This is my first time as a<br />

<strong>Keppel</strong> Volunteer but it will<br />

definitely not be my last. It is<br />

a great opportunity to<br />

contribute back to the<br />

society.” keppelite<br />
