I taught in this school which is still located in Jurong East from 1985-1997.
This school is located near a shopping centre which has the same name as a play written by Dick Lee in 1988. (Information courtesy of Google.)
Sorry, I mean musical, not play.
mr nww, that's why i was quite surprised when i found out that the school you taught in has such a long history. i had thought it started in the 1980s.
1) Jurong Primary School
2) Jurong Gardens School
3) Woodlands Ring Road
it is obvious that both nww and victor know the name of the school.
I didn't know the name of the school, but the clue from Dick Lee is "Beauty World". Nice quiz!
