Having enrolled my children to Tunas Muda Kedoya is one of the best decisions I have ever made as a parent! It has absolutely been a life-changing experience for us as a family as well as my children as individuals.
Our eldest daughter, Jillian, has been studying in this school from Primary 1. She has remarkably improved her self-confidence since then...
My beloved triplet boys have been continuously enhanced their love for school and learning...

Tunas Muda has been a special part of my life for the past 24 years and I truly believe that I have been blessed with the honour of spending each day with children who love to learn and teachers who love to teach. It gives me such pleasure to see our children develop and grow, nurtured by their parents and teachers, to become young people who are equipped to face the challenges of adult life.
There is no better feeling than shedding a tear at the Year 12 Graduation Ceremony when a child who used to be so shy she would not speak in front of the class is graduating as a confident and knowledgeable young lady, ready to go to university. Or seeing a teenage student performing on the stage entertaining a theatre full of people, and remembering when he used to cry every time he had a class performance in Kindergarten. Or seeing a Year 11 student as a mentor for the Year 5 children at their camp and remembering how he used to regularly visit my room to discuss “how to be more responsible”. These moments remind me what a responsibility we have as teachers, and what joy it brings.
We are blessed here at Tunas Muda with an amazing family of children, teachers, staff and parents who have a special bond as members of Tunas Muda. We all firmly believe that everyone has special gifts and talents and we work together to ensure that everyone has the opportunity and encouragement to make the most of themselves. Seeing achievements, from the smallest step to the greatest leap, every day at Tunas Muda gives me such pride.

Looking back to many years ago after I graduated in 2003, I would have told my family, friends and even myself, “I will never be a teacher.” But then here I am at Tunas Muda School and you won’t believe that now I say to my family, friends and even to myself, “It’s my calling to teach.”
When people ask my purpose in life, I can say teaching is my purpose now, to know that I’m doing God’s will and every day I am seeing the fruits and nurturing lives together in Tunas Muda, that I call my second home and my family. When I am coming to work, I feel like I am living out my purpose and my purpose has become my dream. Tunas Muda has taught me to dream and believe in whatever we do and that teaching is not only a job.
Teaching is about inspiring, giving to and caring for people around us, whoever they are and whatever their background is. Every single day, I give my students, whom I called my kids, lessons of life and perceptions. I get them wondering and exploring the thinking and learning beyond the classroom and I want to see them being the best that they can be. This is all because of Tunas Muda’s philosophy and beliefs which has taught me a lot about why and how to teach; to lead and to give from the heart is the most important thing a teacher and a leader should do. Tunas Muda helps everyone to grow and to be the best that one can be. It is a home for me where I learn to teach and teach to learn. I am so blessed and thankful to be part of the Tunas Muda family in my teaching journey.
