Without
any doubt, the recent inaugural Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic
Games (YOG) was a huge success, given the short lead time to
organise a mega international event of such scale. Kudos to
Singapore for the superb planning and execution of the event!
And kudos also to the ACS family of schools for its multifarious
involvement in the YOG – from participation in the Olympic Torch
Relay, the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and at the sports
competition itself, to dance performances and contributions of
art pieces for the Singapore 2010 Friendship Fabric and the
Olympic Walk.
High Tea with Australian YOG Olympians
ACS (Barker Road), ACS

Olympians at a tea party on 13 August. Among the
