He later returned to the school and taught history for many years. He also taught at several other schools in his career, including the Swiss Cottage Secondary School from 1969-75, and he had stints at the Teacher’s Training College and the National Institute of Education. In 1982, Mosbergen was appointed the first principal of Raffles Junior College. He returned to SJI late in his teaching career, serving as deputy principal until his 1989 retirement. In 2004 he was inducted into the Singapore Olympic Academy Roll of Honour.
