APC 2014

It's that day of the year, where parents, staff and students got together to compete against one another. The shooting event saw a very good turnout and everyone enjoyed themselves. Here are the results after adding 600 handicap points to the parent and staff teams: 1st Staff, 2nd Parents and 3rd Students.

Good Job

The coaches have been preparing the teams for the National Inter-Schools since the start of the year. The competition was intense. There were sweat, joy and tears. Overall, the academy did us proud by winning many team titles and individual medals; and several records were broken in the process. I hope the monkeys now realize – the harder the training, the easier the competition. Good job, everyone. I am very proud of you guys!

Road To Nanjing

Congrats to Martina for earning Singapore a quota place at the 2014 YOG. Her first placing at the Asian Championship (Asia YOG Qualifier) did not come easy. She and her coach were a nervous wreck at the competition. Luckily, she managed to compose herself and finished strong.

2014 NTU Shoot

It has been one competition after another. I guess it will only slow down after School Nationals in April. Hopefully, the monkeys can last the distance.

Here are photos of the pistol shooters in NTU Shoot.

Birthday Boy

The monkeys wanted to surprise him but instead he outwitted them.

A big thank you to Noris mum for the cakes.

Happy Birthday Nigel!

2014 NUS Shoot

Last week, the monkeys participated in the NUS Invitational Shoot held at SAFRA Yishun. They competed in the school division which had a total of 406 competitors. Despite having to compete with the older and more experienced competitors, the rifle girls did very well.

10m Air Rifle Women Event: 1st Martina, 2nd Xiu Yi, 4th Shuet, 5th Audrey and 8th Catherine. And Natalie shot very well to finish 4th in the Pistol Women event.

On another note, 4 of our rifle shooters are currently in Kuwait. They are trying to earn a quota place for Singapore at the YOG. Let's us cross our fingers and toes in wishing Martina, Shuet, Adele and Irwan every success.
