*Singapore on March28

Well, do u remember about the p5 camps i have written like months ago? well that camp is for the teachers a.k.a the judges to judge us and see whether we are suitable to join the immersion to S'pore!
FOrtunately, I was chosen together with Felishia and Zennia to join the 2 week immersion. There were others of course too , the rest were chosen for only 1 week, which is the Sport School staying. For us, the 2 week people, we will be staying at S'pore and go live with a buddy in their apartment for one week while the rest go back to MEdan. To admit, i am really nervous with the buddy staying thingy, i mean, im not used to staying at a STRANGER's apartment for a week. I have a list of questions right now.
1. what if i dont like the food they served?
2. What if they treat my badly?
3.what if my buddy hates me?
4. Where will i sleep?
5. What if there are foods i am allergic too? ( as if! )
6. What if i cant meet my medanesse friends in the school?
7. What will i do at their school?
8. WHat if i got lost at their school?
9. What if i was teased?
10. what if the teachers there scolded me for...er..no reason?
11. What if the questions i asked really happened?

Most of the questions were answered during the p5 camp but they still remained unknown in my mind.....

Now, more questions are popping and my hands cant stop writing them but i succeed in stopping, really i am afraaaaid! im soo not used to it! Well at least i can meet my sassy girlfriends at DaQiao school, the school we will be going. Anyway, i searched 'bout it and the results are beloww:

Da Qiao Primary School is a Government-funded school that is currently located in Ang Mo Kio St 54. Da Qiao Primary School's history traces back to the 1936 when it served as a Chinese-medium public school.

[edit]History

Da Qiao Primary School originated in 1936 as a Chinese-medium public school to serve the education needs of the community. It was founded by members of a Hakka clan and was known as Tai Keou School (公立大侨学校) then. ‘大’ refers to ‘Dabu’, the province where the founding members came from, and ‘侨’ refers to the Chinese immigrants in Singapore at that time. Members of the Char Yong (Dabu) Association served as its Board of Directors.

The school was first located at North Bridge Road. After closing during the Japanese Occupation, the school re-opened at Lorong Tai Seng. It re-located to Jalan Paya in 1964 and functioned there until the end of 1980.

In 1981, Da Qiao Primary School was established as a government school in the residential estate of Ang Mo Kio. The school name ‘Da Qiao’, a Hanyu Pinyin version of Tai Keou, was chosen to perpetuate the name of the former Tai Keou School and to recognize the past contributions made to the school by members of the Char Yong (Dabu) Association.

The new school started operating in its new building at 10 Ang Mo Kio St 54 in January 1982 with 38 classes and a pupil enrolment of about 1200. The school was officially declared open by Mr Hwang Soo Jin, Deputy Speaker and Member of Parliament for Jalan Kayu on 22 July 1983. The first Principal was Mr Cheong Cheng Swee and the Vice Principal was Mr Ng Hing. Mr Cheong was succeeded by Mrs Christina Koh in 1992 and later, by Mr Lee Lam Hua in 1995.

As a result of PRIME, a Ministry of Education school rebuilding programme, Da Qiao Primary moved to its current campus at 8 Ang Mo Kio St 54 on 8 December 1999.

The new millennium marked another milestone in the history of the school when it merged with Chong Boon Primary on 1 Jan 2000 to form the present Da Qiao Primary. On 2 February 2002, the school celebrated its 21st Anniversary and the Official Opening of its new campus which was declared open by Mr Wee Siew Kim, Member of Parliament for Ang Mo Kio GRC. The new merged school was headed by Mrs Loh Meng Har since its inception until Dec 2006.

Basketball is the school niche in sports. The pupils also excel in South Park Trivia, Dance and Harmonica. They also perform well in the PSLE with results above National Average for all subjects.
