Btw, what is this tea ceremony about? 敬茶???
Haha , tea ceremony is not to offer tea to principal. It consists of P's address and dialogue with Y1 parents, initiation ceremony for Y1 students and tea reception for parents. It's on the day the Y1 break camp.

If I am not mistaken, GAT stand for General Achievement Test.
It is used by mnay educational institutions to determine how "good" a student is compared to his peers; in Singapore many secondary schools offering the DSA required a student to sit for their GAT. -
Hi sall
i haven't heard any news yet but think need to prepare both ds and myself that he is going to rv after all. he is disappointed that he didn't see any soccer being listed as a cca. so he wanted to join table tennis which he enjoys. but i am trying to \"discourage\" him as table tennis actually takes up 3 days per week, including saturdays! he does not play table tennis at all in primary school, he plays at home with his brother using the dining table ..haha...
i am trying to \"encourage\" him to sign up for inforcomm because of robotics but i think i will let him decide....
as for tea ceremony, i know the form only states parents, but i think i will just bring the younger ones along since nobody at home to jaga them.... i think it is also a good opportunity for them to participate in gor gor's school activities.... if they said kids not allowed, then, i bring them to jurong point for shopping while dh attends the ceremony lor....:) -
Octopusmum, please get prepared need to stay back everyday when near competition time, abt 1 to 2 mth before if he really in infocomm.

立化要通过“四双”培养品学兼优学生
立化中学希望通过“四双”教育模式，更着重树立学生的品德，协助学生成为品学兼优的青年。
“四双”教育模式包括“双课程”、“双语”、“双文化”和“双管”。而“双课程”指的是教育部的课程加上学校以德育为宗旨的自拟课程；“双语”是利用英语教导主要学术课程、利用华语教授品德拓展课程；“双文化”则是除了了解新加坡的文化和国情外，学生也要选择亚洲的其中一个国家对有关文化进行了解；而“双管”是让家长更多参与孩子在学校的教育，让家长更了解孩子在学校做什么后，给他们更大的支持。
立化中心新任校长许永正昨天在学校迁到新校址的仪式上受访时，介绍了学校未来5年计划的框架。
许永正说：“希望这能让立化成为一所真正的特选学校。作为开办综合课程（直通车）的学校，从某个角度看，学生是不能失败的，因为如果他们不成功，他们只会拥有小六文凭。所以他们会考上大学，在学术成绩上并不担心。但我认为我们还应该侧重品德的培育。” 新学年新校舍
全国中小学在明天开学后，立化中学的2500名学生将在文礼通道占地7.6公顷的新校舍就读。这是立化中学自1956年创校以来六次搬迁后的第7个校舍。学校昨天举行迁校仪式，3000多名师生和校友在“同步同心立化情”的主题下，一起从位于马兰路的临时旧校舍，步行到文礼道的新校舍参加正式迁校仪式。学校已在上个月搬迁。
新的校舍也包括一个500个床位的学生宿舍。目前宿舍已经有约200人入住，主要以海外学生为主。除了立化学生外，宿舍也开放让其他学校学生申请入宿。目前住在宿舍的学生也包括瑞士村中学(Swiss Cottage Secondary)和立才中学(Commonwealth Secondary)学生。每个床位每学期或10周的住宿费是1300元（不包括消费税），包括周日每天两餐和周末每天三餐及洗衣服务。
新校舍的一些床位将留给前来交流的海外学生。副校长苏巧丽说，有了新的宿舍后，学校将可举办更多国际或区域活动，让学生有机会同来自其他国家的学生交流，培养他们的国际观。
