Mr Lim Tiang Quee – teacher, coach and “grandfather” to his athletes
July 16, 2008
Story contributed by readers William Wong, Jeffry Ho and Michelle Tan
Mr. Lim is a former national record-holder for long jump (1954), a teacher and a national coach (1968-1985). Now retired from teaching and national-level coaching, he dedicates his time and passion to coaching school athletes. Now at the age of 79, he coaches CHIJ Katong Primary, Paya Lebar Methodist Primary, Yangzheng Primary, Paya Lebar Methodist Secondary, Jurong Secondary School and Serangoon Junior College.
His background as a former athlete and teacher forms the basis of his training philosophy, where the well-being of his athletes comes first. He treats his athletes as his “grandchildren”. It is therefore not surprising that he has close rapport and bonding with both his athletes and their parents. His calendar is filled not only with training sessions but also with lunches and dinners with athletes and their parents, both current and former.

SAJC spoil the NJC party, allowing ACS(I) to capture A Division canoeing title

MacRitchie Reservoir, Friday, July 11, 2008 – Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) won their first-ever A Division National Inter-School Canoeing Championship title at the expense of six-time winner National Junior College last week.
It was a two-horse race for the Boys A Division championship title between ACS(I) and NJC with both schools well represented in the various finals. However, dark horses Meridian Junior College and St. Andrew’s Junior College stamped their authority in the Boys’ C2 500m and K4 500m respectively and played a role in determining the eventual championship winner. The first-place finish in the K4 by SAJC was particularly crucial as their boys fought tooth and nail to beat NJC to the finish line by a whisker. That cost NJC their seventh consecutive title and the championship eventually went to first-time winners ACS(I).
