School Life

Beyond the Classroom

At Tanarata International Schools, we pride ourselves on providing students with enriching experiences both within and beyond the classroom. We understand that learning extends beyond textbooks, so we use trips and excursions as alternative methods for children to explore and learn about nature, other cultures, and essential lifeskills. These hands-on experiences offer students the opportunity to engage with the world around them in meaningful ways, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of diverse environments and perspectives.

Our Enriching Learning Adventures
Tanarata students on a Cameron Highlands trip

Cameron Highlands

Our students have the unique opportunity to experience living in nature at our highland location. During these trips, students participate in nature talks and walks, immersing themselves in the natural environment. They work together with accompanying teachers to prepare both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, fostering teamwork and culinary skills.

These activities help students build a sense of unity and boost their confidence, as they learn to collaborate and thrive in a communal setting.

Tanarata students on a Taiwan adventure trip

Taiwan Adventures

We offer older students the chance to put their Mandarin skills to the test outside the classroom by traveling to Taiwan. Accompanied by their Mandarin teacher, Ms. Yeoh, students will experience a rich travel adventure, visiting cultural sites, participating in local sports, and attending educational talks. This trip aims to immerse students in an environment where they can practice their Mandarin while learning about Taiwanese culture and its people.

Through this unique experience, students will gain a deeper understanding of a culture different from their own, enhancing both their language proficiency and cultural awareness.

Tanarata students at Raptor Watch, Tanjung Tuan

Raptor Watch

What better way to learn about the migration of raptors than to witness it firsthand? Mr. Yannik organizes a yearly raptor watch adventure for students at Tanjung Tuan. Here, students learn about migration patterns, reasons for migration, and types of migrant raptors, all while observing the breathtaking migration of these magnificent birds. This hands-on experience teaches students the importance of protecting nature and provides them with exceptional learning opportunities, fostering a deeper appreciation for wildlife and environmental conservation.

We insist that all students be masked. We will have no outdoor activities till the API falls below dangerous levels.

We are resuming normal physical school tomorrow, 13 Oct, Tuesday

We will continue to monitor the situation with PE and all outdoor ECA switching to indoor should the API be at an unhealthy level.

We hope not to switch to online learning again unless the API goes beyond 250 as private schools have the flexibility of deciding depending on their own unique situations. Should the air quality become poor, students are advised to wear masks while outdoors.

We hope to see everyone back in school tomorrow .

What do our students love most about TiS? 💚

For some, it’s the friends they’ve made. For others, it’s the teachers who know them, the activities they get to explore, or simply having the freedom to learn, ask questions and be themselves.

That’s exactly what we want school to feel like.

At Tanarata International Schools, we create a learning environment where children are supported as individuals, encouraged to discover their strengths and given opportunities to grow beyond the classroom.

Imagine your child spending their lunch break surrounded by trees, open spaces and fresh greenery with no devices competing for their attention.

At Tanarata International Schools, our 5-acre green campus gives students room to step away from the classroom, enjoy their meals, connect with friends and spend time in nature every day.

We believe the environment children grow up in matters. A greener campus creates more opportunities for outdoor experiences, movement, exploration and moments of calm throughout the school day.

If you’re looking for a school in Kajang where nature is genuinely part of the everyday learning experience, come and tour the TiS campus for yourself.

Excellence Beyond the Classroom: Celebrating Roumen Guha

From the classrooms of Tanarata International Schools, Malaysia, to becoming a Robotics Software Engineer at Stack AV in the United States. His journey reflects the school’s ethos of nurturing curiosity, resilience, and global-mindedness.

Jessica Yeong

Founder of Vegecore

From Tanarata to Entrepreneurship: Jessica Yeong, Founder of Vegecore

Jessica’s journey began right here in our classrooms, where she developed a passion for science, sustainability, and problem-solving. From exploring local cultures through Tanarata field trips to earning her Food Science degree, she bridged passion with purpose, turning a personal commitment to health and sustainability into a thriving business.

Today, she is an entrepreneur, a food scientist, and the visionary founder behind Vegecore, Malaysia’s plant-based ready-to-eat meal brand that is reshaping how Malaysians (and beyond) experience vegetarian food. Jessica and her team are redefining what it means to eat smart in a fast-paced world.

Her story captured national attention when VulcanPost featured Vegecore as one of Malaysia’s innovative plant-based food brands shaking up the ready-to-eat market. Vegecore recognised as one of Asia’s Best Vegan & Plant-Based Brands, expanding to Singapore and building international awareness.

Jessica’s entrepreneurial journey as a successful founder highlights the values instilled at Tanarata International Schools: innovation, community impact, and global-mindedness.

Surhuthee Doraisingam

Perfect 100 in IGCSE Mathematics

Top in the World: Surhuthee Doraisingam’s Perfect 100 in IGCSE Mathematics

In a world that often mistakes noise for achievement and celebration for success, Surhuthee Doraisingam offers us a different story. A story not of a climactic, fireworks-filled victory, but of a quiet, profound journey to the very edge of what is possible.

We are immensely proud to celebrate Surhuthee Doraisingam, a current Tanarata student who achieved a perfect score of 100 in the May/June 2025 Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics examination, earning her the prestigious distinction of Top in the World.

For Surhuthee, the perfect score was not a sudden triumph but the natural conclusion of a long, disciplined journey. As she reflects: “Seeing that perfect score was a validation of my effort, but I didn’t feel elated; I simply felt that I had met expectations. It was only later, as the abundant messages of congratulations came in, that the significance of the award began to amplify.”

Surhuthee credits her success not only to her own dedication but also to the unwavering support of her parents and teachers. Mentors who transformed complex concepts into clarity, who demanded precision in logic, and who believed in her potential even when the curriculum became most demanding.

At Tanarata International Schools, we are proud to walk alongside students like Surhuthee—where excellence is not chased but steadily built.

Mahaveer Singh

School Captain 2025–2026

Leading with Purpose: Mahaveer Singh, School Captain 2025–2026

At Tanarata International Schools, we often say that leadership is not a destination but a journey. For Mahaveer Singh, that journey began in September 2015 as a Year 1 student. Today, over a decade later, we are incredibly proud to introduce him as our School Captain for the 2025–2026 academic year.

From his early involvement on the Prefectorial Board in both primary and secondary school to his consistent service on the Student Council from Year 8 through Year 11, Mahaveer has demonstrated a leadership style grounded in collaboration and unwavering commitment to the Tanarata community.

Mahaveer’s impact is felt across every corner of our campus. As the Main Head of the Innovation & Tech Expo 2025, he demonstrated an exceptional ability to turn complex ideas into reality. He has spearheaded major student-led projects that required not just creativity but also the organizational grit and teamwork that define a true visionary.

As School Captain, Mahaveer’s journey reflects more than just personal achievement; it reflects a deep appreciation for the school that has shaped him.

Ms. Zaifeeda Zainul Abidin

Teacher, Tanarata International Schools

Ms. Zaifeeda Zainul Abidin - A Canvas of Excellence

Ms. Feeda is a living testament to Tanarata International Schools’ commitment to high-quality teaching and holistic education. Ms. Zaifeeda Zainul Abidin, fondly known to students and colleagues as Ms. Feeda, embodies a rare blend of artistic mastery, academic rigour, and heartfelt mentorship into every classroom she leads.

With nearly 19 years of teaching experience and over 12 years specialising in the Art & Design IGCSE syllabus, she has consistently guided students to achieve A and A* grades, cultivating generations of confident, skilled young artists. She challenges students to think deeply, observe carefully, and push beyond what they believe is possible while providing a safe space for experimentation, mistakes, and discovery.

Beyond examination success, Ms. Feeda’s impact shines through the achievements of her students on national and international platforms. In 2024, she mentored Regina Ng Hie Huey, who won 1st Prize (Secondary Category) at the MYTIGER Values Art Competition & Exhibition 2024—a prestigious event that celebrates creativity, values, and social consciousness through art.

She has consistently produced students who achieved Top in Malaysia for Art & Design IGCSE 0400 for three consecutive years (2014-2016, Oct/Nov exams). “Art is not just about the final piece on the wall,” Ms. Feeda believes. “It is about the pensive hours of planning, the resilience to try a new medium, and the clarity that comes from meticulous design.”

At Tanarata International Schools, we celebrate educators like Ms. Feeda, whose vision, expertise, and mentorship continue to shape generations of creative leaders.

Hana Norhafiz

Vice Captain (AY 2025–2026)

Growing Through Every Step: Hana Norhafiz, School Vice Captain (AY 2025–2026)

Hana’s story began in September 2017. Attracted by the “charming greenery and welcoming atmosphere,” she made a firm decision to spend her school life learning here. From overcoming academic challenges to discovering her strengths, Hana’s journey reflects the power of perseverance. She admits she was not the “exceptionally clever student” at first, but each setback became a stepping stone, pushing her to strive higher and ultimately culminating in the Vice-Captain badge she now wears with pride.

Tanarata’s emphasis on holistic education gave Hana opportunities to explore beyond academics. “I can positively say that I am an extremely competitive person,” Hana reflects.
From volleyball and football to badminton and basketball, Hana has leveraged the countless sports Tanarata offers to gain the experience and grit needed to strive for esteemed goals after graduation.

While the badges and trophies are memorable, for Hana, the true treasures of her Tanarata journey are the friendships and memories she has built. She recalls the Year 9 Port Dickson field trip as one of the most unforgettable moments filled with laughter, horror movie marathons, beach visits, and shared experiences that deepened bonds among classmates.

At Tanarata International Schools, we are proud to celebrate Hana not only as a Vice Captain but also as a student whose journey reflects the heart of our community. Having spent over eight years in our community, Hana’s journey is a beautiful testament to how “learning beyond textbooks” shapes the leaders of tomorrow.
