Tampines Primary School has been conferred the CHERISH (CHampioning Efforts Resulting in Improved School Health) Award – Silver for the ourth time running. The purpose of this Award is to give recognition to and encourage schools to establish comprehensive health promotion programmes for students and staff through the fostering of good physical, social and emotional health for optimal learning.

The CHERISH Award provides a framework for establishing comprehensive health promotion programmes in the school. Modelled after the recommendations of the WHO's Health Promoting School initiative, it uses a whole school approach towards health promotion. TPS has since 2008 adopted the Holistic Health Framework as part of its strategic thrust of enhancing the lives of the pupils. TPS will be applying for the CHERISH Award again in 2013.
