Culture
Uniform Boys wear white shirts and blue shorts. Girls wear white blouses and light blue pinafores. Both uniforms have the school crest emblazoned on the left. While school shoes and school socks can be purchased, any white-based shoes or socks are also allowed. Tao Nan School students are not allowed to wear ankle socks to school.
For days with physical education lessons, students wear a white t-shirt with dark blue shorts to school. The t-shirt has the initials of the school on the back and the school initials is also sewn on the shorts. There are house t-shirts which are the same as the normal shirts except that instead of having the school initials printed on the back, it is a picture of the animal of the house. e.g. shark house t-shirt has a picture of a shark at the back.
Prefects wear a blue velcro tie around their necks and a name tag/junior prefect badge above the school crest. Depending on the Prefect's status, the number of white lines printed on the tie would differ. The prefect name tag is blue with the students name carved in white on it. The old junior prefect badge is the same with the word 'junior prefect' engraved on them. The new one however, is classier, with the school crest and 'prefect' written in gold in a black background. The frame of the badge is also gold. A prefect t-shirt has also been introduced. It is white with a blue collar, with the word prefect on the left side of the t-shirt and on the back. It also sports a high and tight collar. Prefect in Mandarin (学长) is also printed in blue on the left sleeve of the t-shirt. The prefects wear this shirt with their P.E. shorts on days when they have prefectorial duties, such as Pesta Sukan and Swimming Carnival.
Houses There are 4 houses in Tao Nan, each named after a marine animal. The 4 houses are Dolphin (Blue),Killerwhale (Red),Marlin (Orange) and Shark (Green) . These houses are mainly for organising the annual Swimming Carnival and Pesta Sukan or other special events.
For several years, the Shark house has been the reigning champion in Swimming Carnivals, and almost without fail in an order that is followed by Killer Whale, Marlin, and Dolphin. In the area of cheerleading, however, Killer Whale has emerged as first. During National Day celebrations, also known as Pesta Sukan, captains' ball competitions for the girls of Tao Nan were frequently won by the members of the Dolphin house. Nowadays however, fierce competition has forced the other houses to work harder in their games, and today can be seen to also be among those clinching the top prizes.
CCAs Tao Nan has numerous CCAs ranging from uniform groups like Brownies and Scouts to cultural groups like Dance and Chinese Orchestra.
