ANZA Soccer gives back to Cambodia

Apr 22 2025

At ANZA Soccer, we believe in the power of sport to bring people together – not just on the pitch, but within the community as well. Over the years, our commitment to giving back has been a core part of our mission, with involvement in several initiatives. In December last year, we had the incredible opportunity to make a meaningful charitable donation, creating a tangible impact on the lives of young soccer players in Cambodia through a collaboration with Good Neighbors Cambodia (GNC).

GNC is an international humanitarian and development NGO, running in over 50 countries, that strives to make the world a better place without hunger and where people live in harmony. Operating in Cambodia since 2004, the initiative saw the donation of 86 soccer jerseys and shorts, as well as scrimmage vests, and socks to children at Toul Rokar Koh Primary School in Phnom Penh. The collaboration emerged after Good Neighbors shared photos of their newly constructed soccer pitch on social media, and ANZA member Rinka Perez (half Cambodian herself) saw the images and felt inspired to help.

Thanks to ANZA Soccer, the jerseys were gifted to the young soccer players at the school. Many of them had never had the opportunity to play in a full kit before. With an active and growing community of players, the donation of jerseys was a perfect way to support and enhance their enthusiasm for the sport. Eighty-one boys and girls aged 5 -11 received the donations, prioritising those who regularly got on the pitch.

“The Soccer jerseys serve as a reminder that others care about their future”

Sense of belonging

Many of the children had previously played in their school uniforms, limiting their ability to fully enjoy the game. The jerseys were sent to Cambodia with the hope that they would not only foster pride and excitement for the sport but also instil a sense of unity and support for the children.

“Being able to wear a new soccer jersey goes beyond improving comfort – it boosts players’ morale, encourages participation from both boys and girls, and generates a sense of pride and belonging,” explains GNC’s Grant Department Coordinator, Priscilla Kim Ong. “The jerseys serve as a symbol of the children’s dedication to soccer and a reminder that others care about their future. Receiving them provided a renewed sense of hope, giving the children the confidence to pursue their passions and believe in their potential.”

The donation was made possible through the generous efforts of the ANZA Soccer community, who understood the significance of getting proper gear to young athletes eager to pursue their sporting dreams. “Soccer has a special place in Cambodia and is loved by people of all ages. It’s something you’ll see played everywhere, from open fields to schoolyards, often with makeshift goals. It’s a fantastic way for kids to express themselves, challenge each other, and think big,” Priscilla continues. “For many children, soccer is a bright spot in their day. It gives them the chance to run, laugh, and enjoy a sense of freedom.”

The ANZA – GNC initiative has also been a super-fulfilling experience for ANZA Soccer, reinforcing the values of teamwork and empathy. By helping those who are less fortunate, ANZA Soccer has demonstrated its commitment to making a positive impact – not just in Singapore, but across borders. Collaborations like this remind us that in life we all have a role to play in lifting others up.

Players say thank you!

Chay In, a Grade 3 student with a passion for soccer, shared her joy, saying she was thrilled to have a proper soccer outfit to support her love for the game, which she has been playing for years.

Monineath, Grade 3, couldn’t wait to wear his new jersey to soccer practice, where he plays as part of a community team – a sport he’s been passionate about since he was six.

Phalkun, a standout soccer player in Grade 3, expressed his gratitude for his new scrimmage vest, which he wore proudly while playing with friends during recess.

Srey Pheak, another Grade 3 student, beamed with pride as she wore her practice scrimmage vest.

Becoming a highlander with Tanglin Trust School

Apr 22 2025

This April, the first group of Year 9 Tanglin Trust School students will head to Tanglin Gippsland to take part in the inaugural Highlands Programme. This new five-week immersive educational programme will offer the ‘Highlanders’ a mix of academic curriculum, outdoor education, adventure activities and sustainability initiatives, and ultimately a unique and enriching learning experience.

Craig Considine, CEO of Tanglin Trust School, emphasised the immense benefits of experiential learning during the formative teenage years of Middle School, and explained, “Students will have the opportunity to develop essential life skills such as resilience, teamwork, problem-solving, and independence, all while immersed in a stunning natural environment.”

The programme’s name and ethos are deeply rooted in the legacy of Tanglin’s founder, Miss Anne Griffiths-Jones, who recognised the transformative impact of learning beyond the classroom, when back in 1934, she established a boarding school in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, offering Tanglin students a healthy, safe and refreshing new learning environment.

The Perfect Location for Experiential Learning

Gippsland, Victoria, with its diverse landscapes ranging from rolling lowlands to majestic mountain ranges and its spectacular seasonal changes, serves as an ideal setting for this pioneering experiential learning programme. The Highlands Programme is led by Mark Cutchie, Head of Campus, who will live on-site with his wife Sharon and the rest of the teaching team.

Mark has been instrumental in overseeing every aspect of the programme and site development – from administrative and construction planning of the new campus, to working closely with Tanglin staff to design the academic and outdoor aspects of the offering. His deep understanding of the new campus’s location, coupled with his background in education leadership, has allowed him to collaborate closely with Tanglin’s teaching staff to create an outdoor-focused curriculum that complements the learning objectives of curiosity, confidence and community – all key attributes which are developed during Middle School.

Mark’s frequent visits to Singapore during the planning process have kept parents and students informed about campus progress and plans. His passion and meticulous preparation have ensured that the Highlands Programme aligns seamlessly with Tanglin’s vision of holistic education.

Creating the Tanglin Gippsland Campus

Every detail of the campus and the programme has been thoughtfully planned. Student dormitories were designed and decorated using sustainable materials and colours inspired by Gippsland’s native flora. Bushfire management plans were meticulously integrated into the campus’s design, and any felled trees were repurposed where possible for landscaping and firewood, underscoring Tanglin’s commitment to sustainability.

Tanglin’s Outdoor Education department has also collaborated with the Gippsland team to design the hikes and other outdoor experiences that the students will experience, ensuring a seamless integration with the curriculum. Preparations have even extended beyond Year 9, with younger students beginning their journey towards participation in the Highlands Programme through tailored outdoor education activities.

The style and specialism of teachers involved in the Highlands Programme has also been carefully considered. Teachers with expertise in pastoral care and outdoor education were chosen to enrich classroom learning with field-based lessons in geography, history, and science.

New Tanglin Adventures in Gippsland

The start of the school year last August marked a turning point as planning transitioned into action! In celebration of Tanglin’s Centenary and the establishment of Tanglin Gippsland, a bold challenge was set: to hike the full 665km of the Australian Alps Walking Track. During the October half-term, Mark, supported by a local team of guides, led a group of 20 Tanglin staff, including Craig Considine and Jennifer Martin (Head of Outdoor Education), on the inaugural expedition, covering an initial 77km of the track.

The hike allowed staff to experience firsthand the breathtaking beauty and challenges that students will encounter. Reflecting on the experience, Jen shared, “When we were out in the mountains, it was all about supporting each other and appreciating the path ahead. We felt an incredible sense of pride after completing the trek – imagine how our students will feel after spending five weeks here!”

The Next Chapter

The Highlands Programme’s launch in Tanglin’s Centenary year is a remarkable milestone, with over 100 students expected to participate in its inaugural year. However, its true legacy lies in its long-term impact: challenging students, fostering independence, and creating life-changing educational experiences.

Pack your suitcase like a pro

Apr 21 2025

Preparation is everything when it comes to travel. Whether you’re going tropical, to a colder climate, or on a sporty break, the right approach to packing your case sets the tone for the entire trip.

Skye Findlay, founder of Singapore’s Findlay The Label (findlaythelabel.com), knows the importance of packing properly. The Aussie expat who has lived in Singapore for almost a decade travels 5 – 6 times a year for work and pleasure. “I always start with a detailed packing list to avoid forgetting anything important. I plan my outfits in advance and use a mix of packing cubes and Findlay pouches to keep things neat.” Her advice for wrinkle-free packing? Sounds simple, but it’s imperative to hang dresses and skirts as soon as you arrive at your destination. “It makes a world of difference,” she says.

Left: Don’t forget your Findlay pouch!
Right: Skye with husband Michael and children Henry and Camilla

When it comes to organising your carry-on luggage, Skye relies on her signature Findlay swim storage bags. “They’re clear, so I can quickly grab what I need when I’m using them,” she explains. Inside, you’ll find must-have items like lip balm, facial spray, Kindle, charger, and mints – her priorities for staying comfortable and refreshed. With a little forward planning, you can hit Changi’s departure lounge feeling chilled, confident, and like your holiday has already started. Here’s how.

What should everyone pack for a holiday, no matter what the destination?
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and your phone. I keep mine in one of my Findlay pouches (along with my hotel key), so I can carry around the necessities throughout the day. It’s my go-to for everything – beach, pool, spa, and bar!

What about packing beauty products?
Travel-size products are a game-changer for me. When my favourites aren’t available in smaller sizes, I pump them into compact, stackable containers. Some of my top travel-size picks include:

Naked Sundays Collagen Glow SPF 50+ (20ml)
Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm (30ml)
Avene Hydrance Rich Hydrating Cream (40 ml)

How do you pack for different family members?
When it comes to the kids, less is more. For my son, I pack a white t-shirt for each day (except for travel days, where I go with a navy one) and colourful swim shorts. My daughter prefers to stay in her swimsuit all day on holiday, so I only pack a few dresses for the evenings. As for where we like to travel as a family, you can’t beat Koh Samui and Phuket in Thailand. And of course, there’s nowhere better than Australian beaches. My favourite spots are determined by the children. Happy, busy children equal a happy relaxed holiday!

What essentials do you recommend for families with kids?
If I said iPads, headphones and snacks, would I be the worst mother of the year?!

What are your must-have clothing and accessories for a beach holiday?
For me, it’s all about comfort and versatility. Must-have pieces include:

Sarongs
Kaftans
Palazzo pants
Swimsuits
Sunglasses
A sun hat that’s easy to pack!

How do you select the right swimwear?
I focus on what makes me feel confident based on my body type. I like to pair my swimwear with a sarong, floaty skirt, or cotton palazzo pants for a comfortable, elegant look.

“When it comes to packing for the kids, less is more”

What pieces work for transitioning from beachside to evening?
A sarong is my absolute go-to. It’s incredibly versatile and can be worn over swimwear during the day, or styled with a nice top and jewellery for a sunset drink.

What about footwear?
I pack two pairs of sandals. One is a raffia style for the beach and pool, and the other is a tan leather sandal for evenings. For transit days, I wear comfortable footwear, like a white sneaker or driving shoe.

Any beauty products you recommend for a beach break?
My fundamentals include:

AiryDay Lip Me SPF 50 Dreamscreen
La Roche-Posay Anti-Shine Mist SPF 50
Naked Sundays Cabana Glow
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast
Olaplex No. 3 (perfect for a sleek, holiday bun!)

What should you keep in mind when packing for a city holiday?
Comfortable shoes are a must for a city break. I like clothing that works for both casual outings and slightly dressier settings.

How do you balance packing for sightseeing, casual events, dinners or events in the city?
I focus on adaptable, neutral pieces that can easily be mixed and matched. This allows me to go from sightseeing during the day to a formal dinner in the evening without missing a beat.

Any tips for accessories?
A classic belt can really elevate an outfit. It’s simple, stylish, and practical for both casual and more dressed-up looks.

How can you dress for cooler temperatures while still looking chic?
I always take a black turtleneck. It’s an absolute classic and pairs well with pants, skirts, or trousers. Layer it with a jacket or coat for warmth and add a statement necklace to elevate the look.

What’s on your list for a sporty holiday?
I always start with base layers if we’ll be doing something active. A cosy jumper and a waterproof jacket are also compulsory. When travelling to a snowy destination I add a warm beanie, gloves, neck warmer and snow goggles. I’m a huge fan of the thermal range at Uniqlo. They have you covered for an adventure packed holiday.

How do you make activewear work for physical activities and casual hangouts?
I like to add accessories like hats or simple jewellery, and finish with a less sporty sneaker for a more comfortable street-ready outfit for post-adventure.

What accessories should you prioritise?
Sunglasses, sunscreen, portable charger, hair ties/clip, waterproof jacket, thick comfortable socks, and shoes that you know you can last all day in. Lastly, don’t forget a sizeable bag to carry all your daily necessities around in. Rucksacks are great for this, leaving you hands-free.

The Broome International Airport Marathon returns in 2025

Looking for your next destination running event? The Broome International Airport Marathon returns on 3 August 2025, offering an amazing running experience on the world-famous Cable Beach in Western Australia. Choose from three distances: a 10.5km Dash, 21.1km Half Marathon, or the full 42.2km Marathon – all set against the backdrop of Broome’s coastline during perfect dry season weather.

A Unique Beach Marathon in Australia

This isn’t your average road race. Runners take on the challenge on hard-packed sand, made possible by Broome’s dramatic 8-metre tides, carefully timed to deliver optimal running conditions. Expect cool early morning temperatures (15°C) rising to a comfortable 27°C, with clear, sunny skies typical of Broome’s dry season.

Start times:

42.2km Marathon – 6am
21.1km Half Marathon – 7am
10.5km Broome Dash – 7am

Make it a Holiday!

The Broome Marathon is designed to be a holiday-worthy experience. With direct flights from Singapore and across Australia, it’s easy for runners and their families to combine a fitness goal with a tropical getaway. As the saying goes: “Come for the run and stay for the sun.”

Whether you’re chasing a PB or soaking up the scenery, you’ll be inspired by sweeping views of turquoise waters, golden sands, and the serene sound of waves. Many runners describe the experience as both grounding and uplifting – a perfect mental reset.

Why Broome?

Broome is a jewel on WA’s north coast. Famous for Cable Beach, camel rides at sunset, and its laid-back vibe, it’s the perfect escape for runners wanting more than just a race. The Broome Marathon attracts participants from all over Australia – and increasingly, from Singapore – thanks to its unique setting, organisation, and family-friendly appeal.

Read on for a Runner’s Perspective

“The hard packed sand laid before us like a golden road, and I registered for the first time how runners who had come before me on this challenge had set such fast times.”

“Pre-race nerves transformed into excitement as the countdown to the start quickened. Training had not gone 100% to plan, as work and life did get hectic at times. However, I was feeling motivated and the fittest I had in years”.

“When the 5 minute to race start warning was issued, I received my final farewell and good luck message from family and headed to the start line. I was still in the shade of the sand dunes; it was calm and cool and the air was so clean”.

Welcoming our small & mighty ANZA Netballers!

Apr 16 2025

The super-cute 2019 cohort of ANZA Netball

Welcome to the 2019 cohort of ANZA Netball players! Our group of five-year-olds had a fabulous first session in January, with many eager parents watching from the sidelines. Typically, parents volunteer to coach once they see how fun and rewarding it is to be involved, as well as how much their children enjoy it. The ANZA Netball volunteer pool has grown each year, with parents eager to be part of our wonderful community. As a result, we now have more coaches than ever, and it’s fantastic to see so many parents actively participating in their daughters’ sporting experiences.

For this 2019 cohort, we’re fortunate to have some experienced, long-term ANZA families involved, including the Butler family (fourth daughter) and the Bishop family (third daughter). Parents from both families, along with some new faces, jumped in to help as volunteer coaches during the very first session. ANZA Netball truly appreciates every contribution because, without our volunteers, the success of our netball programme wouldn’t be possible.

Warm-up Games

The young netball players began their first session with fun warm-up games, focusing on balance, movement, and coordination. They were then introduced to the soft balls. Even the shyest new member, who was initially hiding on the sidelines, was tossing the ball and clapping by the end of the session. It was a terrific first experience, and no doubt, the girls will be eager to return!

Like mother, like daughter

Jacquie Arnott played with ANZA Netball in the late 90’s when the club was based at UWC. She returned to Canada with her family at the age of 12 and went on to play basketball and volleyball as netball wasn’t such a big sport in Canada. Jacquie has now returned to Singapore with her own family and her five-year-old daughter Clementine has started with the new 2019 cohort. It is marvellous to see two generations of ANZA netball players together!

Recent players return

The 2019 group session was led by Coach Charlotte, a former ANZA player from the 2000’s. After leaving Singapore to attend university, Charlotte is now back in the ANZA family as a coach. She was assisted by teen coach Annelotte, who has recently been playing for ANZA. Having the session led by two such fun and experienced ANZA netballers made the training extra special and meaningful for the young girls.
