Does anyone has past year Sec 1 papers - SA1, CA2, SA2? or point to where we can get hold of them? It seems that Sec school papers are extremely hard to come by - even when they are sold - you can find only very few schools. I think it will help to use them as practice papers. Do share info on this if you have any. Tks!

Victoria School's aiming for the top


Cross country runners looking for double joy at inter-school championships

SINGAPORE - At last year's 52nd National Inter-Schools Cross Country Championships, Victoria School's quartet of Bryan Yong, Marcus Ng, Joel-David Wong and Venuraam Selvan beat 62 other school teams to clinch the Boys' 'B' Division title. It was also the school's 32nd cross country title since 1998.

Keeping the tradition alive will be top on the Victorians' minds on Wednesday, as the cross country runners take on their rivals at the 53rd National Inter-Schools Cross Country Championships at Bedok Reservoir.

In an interview with TODAY School Sports, team coach Sheikha Fadzleen Shaik Yakob said the student-athletes would need to contend with traditional giants like 2011 'B' division silver medalists Hwa Chong Institution, Catholic High, and Raffles Institution - who clinched the 'C' Division title last year.

Said Sheikha: \"These schools have been our biggest competitors every year. As long as our morale is high, we will be able to beat our challengers in the field.

\"Victoria School Cross Country has always been in the top four positions for both 'B' and 'C' Divisions for the last 30 years and we intend to keep it that way. That's our tradition. Each year we aim for the title.\"

But one challenge that coach Sheikha and the boys will be focused on is the prestigious double gold medal win for both divisions, which Victoria School have achieved nine times in 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2005, 2006 and 2010.

\"The 'B' Division team will give everything they can to defend it\" said the coach. \"As for the younger boys, they have been working really hard to regain the title. I believe the competition this year is stiff with only a few points differentiating the top three positions.\"

Added Lim Chang Yu, captain of the 'C' Division boys: \"My target for my team this year is to get the title for our school ... our coach says we're up to it.\"

One athlete that Victoria School supporters will be looking out for along Bedok Reservoir's 4.3km route on Wednesday is 15-year-old 'B' Division team captain Marcus Ng, who clinched a bronze medal at the Asian Schools Cross Country Championships in Mongolia last year. Brothers Venuraam and Mahesvaran Selvan will also be looking to impress at this week's race, despite having to balance training sessions with both the cross country and hockey school teams. Elder brother Venuraam, 17, is also part of Victoria's track and field squad, winning the 2,000m steeplechase gold in 2010 and 2011.

Said Sheikha: \"A unique challenge to the B division team will be the rate of recovery for our two core runners. Training for both Hockey and Cross-Country could be back-to-back and this month, being the hockey season, it was a challenge for these Sportsmen in terms of recovery from training. We would want them to do well for both sports and thus there is strong collaboration between the Hockey coach and I to ensure that these two Sportsmen get as much rest as possible. However, the demands of both sports do cause fatigue, which is inevitable, so we are constantly managing that and hoping that they will be at their best and fittest on race day.\"
