the girls at CHIJ were so much fun to hang out with. They averaged between 13-16 years old, I believe, so they were a bit younger than the students in our group.

Because it's a Catholic school, the government only supports 95% of its funding so that they can talk about God and pray and such. The vice principal told us that the 5% the school pays is about $1.6 million Singaporean (about $1.06 million US) YEARLY, but it's a small price to pay. It was an awesome day
