NEO WAN TING TEACHER  B.A.  English  Literature  (current)    Teacher  Wan  Ting  is  a  mountain-­‐climbing,    knitting  and  eggplant-­‐eating  enthusiast.  Her    interests  are  wide  and  varied,  and  she's  always  willing  to  try  new  things.  For  all  of  her  education,  she  had  the  great  opportunity  to  pursue  her  love  for  books  through  English  Literature.  Hence,  she  hopes  to  brew  the  same  passion  for  fiction  in  the  classroom,  especially  by  building  a  safe  environment  for  students  to  dare  to  create  and  make  mistakes.      The  Memory  Keeper's  Daughter  by  Kim  Edwards  proved  to  be  a  challenging  and  emotional  read  for  her  primary  school  self,  thus  it  holds  a  special  place  in  her  heart.    S. SATHISH

TEACHER  B.A.  Psychology  (current)  

   Teacher  Sathish’s  passion  for  writing  is  fueled  by  his  love  for  fictional  tales,  having  spent  much  of  his  childhood  with  his  nose  buried  in  storybooks.  One  of  his  favourite  reads  as  a  child  was  The  Hardy  Boys  mystery  series.  Having  had  experience  mentoring  children  for  over  a  year,  Teacher  Sathish  is  quick  to  develop  a  strong  camaraderie  with  his  students  (especially  the  boys!)  as  he  finds  joy  and  fulfillment  in  educating  the  future  of  tomorrow.      As  a  sports  enthusiast  with  a  fiery  spirit,  Teacher  Sathish  wishes  to  inject  a  similar  brand  of  energy  into  his  lessons  as  well.
