Day 1 - Singapore to Perth

The delegates of the Perth Immersion Programme getting all ready to embark on their exciting learning journey. 


After bidding farewell to their parents and families, they took a 5 hour flight and arrived at 6.35am at Perth International Airport.




Hearty healthy breaky


First pitstop of the day is the rich in culture Fremantle Weekend Market which was established since 1897. It was originally a grand old Victorian building and now, a popular tourist attraction.


First group photo taken near the market


Shopping for the ideal souvenir


Lunch time!! The delegates arrived at the famous Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour for an authentic Fish and Chips meal. See for yourselves the happy faces of your children.










After lunch, the delegates visited the renowned Monument Hill 

Arriving at the Springhills Farm after a 3 hour long journey on the road, the delegates were greeted warmly by the host and the family.


Finally, a live chicken; not the one from NTUC


Eggs for breaky tomorrow!


Sheeps were not as white as we thought


Fishing for yabbies and below are some pictures of those who dares to hold their own catch.






Setting the catch free


Wonderful and delicious home-cooked food by the host for everyone. A bonfire was set up after dinner for an evening of stargazing. The night is then completed with sweet dessert, a concoction of jello, fruit cocktail and vanilla ice-cream...yum yum




The night finally closed with a debrief for the delegates to reflect upon the day and to plan the day ahead. Sweet dreams ... ...

There were no posting on the first night as the farm does not receive any Internet signal
