Competitions 2011

Preparing the students for a few competitions ahead -

1. Timeline Challenge by Singapore Polytechnic - Round 1 (100MCQ) on 26 Jan and Round 2 on 29 Jan. Latest update on 7 Feb: Our team ranked 12, 18, 24 and 28 out of the 35 teams - not too bad but should be able to do better next year!

2. NUS Geography Challenge 2011 http://nusgc2011.blogspot.com/ Prelim on 26 Feb - same day as the first aid competition - looks like Mrs Lim have to bring them there as the two competitions are on the same day.
I lile the creative component though it is going to be a lot of work involved - creating a food trail for tourists on a budget in Singapore! More details will be available on 26 Feb.
Latest update on 9th Apr: Our team was shortlisted for the most creative video.
