Striving for Winter Olympics 2014

Inspired by the 1988 Jamaican Bobsled team, the gahmen has made a rallying cry to the nation to qualify for its first ever winter olympics in 2014. However, it is not certain as to which event they aim to promote.

Mr Mickey Mao, head of the Corrective Work Order (CWO) offers his plan. "CWO has long been perceived with great negativity. This year we are re-branding CWO to represent Curling for Winter Olympics 2014. We will work harder to 'scout' for talent aka litterbugs, harness their passion and polish their skills. Until the proposed curling facility is completed, our initial training programs will include roller-bowling and roller road-sweeping."

Pulau Ubin Primary School offers trycultural program

Not to be outdone by Tampines Primary School, who recently started offering a bicultural program in Confucianism, Pulau Ubin Primary School is set to offer a trycultural program beginning next year.

Mr Lai Chee, the head of department of mother tongue at Pulau Ubin Primary School said, "This program was created to give our students a choice of designing their own cultural program. They can try any culture; no need to stick to one or two. It is like a buffet; eat until you are full and pay one price. Now, not only elite and neighborhood school students will have the chance to experience this program. We hope to inspire the other schools on the other islands."
