On Friday 27 Sep 2013, students embarking on our school's two Trips for International Experience (TIE), one to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and the other to Kunming, China, gathered for their pre-trip team-bonding and administration session.

No, our students did not have to sit for a test. They were occupying chairs that were laid-out in preparation for the Primary Six Leaving Examinations (PSLE).
One of the getting-to-know-you activities involved self-introductions and remembering something about one's team-mates.

Part of the administrative tasks included the trying out and recording of participants' sizes for the trip-specific T-shirts.
Then it was down to the "serious" team-bonding activities among teacher and student-participants.

| Teachers and their student-group members learning more about each other and about themselves. |
