TIMPOTS LEGACY FOUNDATION

We were raised to believe one simple phrase:

"I think I can..."

Generations of TIMPOTS were inspired to grow into people who could proudly say,

"I knew I could."

Today, we, the little engines are carrying this legacy forward through the

Timpots Legacy Foundation.

Come be part of a community that's preserving our heritage, honouring our teachers, reconnecting generations, and giving back. Together, let's keep the TIMPOT legacy moving from

"I Think I Can"... to...."I Knew I Could."

the legend, the legacy, the beginning..

The Timpots Legacy Foundation (TLF) was born out of a moment of profound love, remembrance, and reunion. Some people pass through institutions. Some build institutions. Then there are a rare few who become inseparable from the institution itself.

Dr. Mercy Jeyaraja Rao, our beloved Jazz, our cherished Big Miss was one such person.

Her last wish was to have a big reunion with all her " precious children ", her TIMPOTS.

On 6 April 2026, hundreds of TIMPOTS from across generations gathered to celebrate the life of Dr. Mercy Jeyaraja Rao. What began as a memorial soon became something far greater. Alumni who had not met in decades reconnected. Teachers and students embraced once again. Stories were shared, photographs resurfaced, friendships were rekindled, and a deep realization emerged, that while people may leave us, their values and legacy must never fade.

In that room, united by gratitude and a shared love for their heritage, a vision was born. The community resolved to preserve its heritage, honour its teachers, reconnect alumni across the world, and build a lasting legacy for future generations. From that collective promise, the Timpots Legacy Foundation came into being. Today, TLF stands as a living tribute to the spirit of Timpany and to the extraordinary legacy of Jazz, a legacy that continues to connect generations, inspire service, and remind us that we are, and always will be,

Forever TIMPOTS. Forever Connected.

classrooms to global impact

The Timpots Legacy Foundation exists for one simple reason .... to Give Back.

It began not with a mission statement, but with gratitude. Gratitude for the teachers who shaped our lives, the friendships that became family, and the school that gave us far more than an education. Timpany taught us kindness, integrity, compassion, and the importance of looking out for one another. Those lessons have stayed with us long after we left its classrooms.

As life took TIMPOTS across the world, we discovered that although our paths had changed, our bond had not. In moments of joy and hardship alike, alumni instinctively came together to support classmates, teachers, and families in need. We realised that giving back was not simply something we did—it was who we had become because of Timpany.

At TLF, Giving Back is more than charity. It is an expression of gratitude for the values we inherited and the people who believed in us. It means supporting students, caring for our retired teachers, mentoring the next generation, preserving our shared heritage, and strengthening the community that shaped us. We believe that the greatest legacy we can leave is not measured in wealth, but in lives touched, kindness shared, and opportunities created for others.

Because Timpany first gave to us, we choose to give back.

Forever TIMPOTS. Forever Connected.

Forever Kind.
