CHIJ Saint Theresa's Convent is an all-girls Catholic secondary school in Singapore. The school is one of 11 Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ) schools in Singapore. ==History== The school was founded in 1892, and was initially known as CHIJ Kampong Bahru. It began by running Parish classes of the Church of St Theresa, taught by sisters of the Holy Infant Jesus Congregation. It grew to be an integrated school offering teaching in English and Tamil for primary-level students, who generally went on to the "Town Convent" CHIJ at Victoria Street (now CHIJ Toa Payoh) after leaving the school. After World War II, the English and Tamil sections functioned at separate premises, before the school's present site at Lower Delta Road was purchased in 1948 and a new school building was completed in 1951. In 1952, the school's status was changed from a private school to a government-aided school. The Tamil section was phased out in 1953, and in the late-1950s the school began taking in secondary-level students. The school's last intake of primary-level students was in 1986, after which the primary classes were phased out and the school became a secondary school. In Nov 2009, the school moved out of its Lower Delta campus to the former New Town Secondary School campus at Queensway due to PRIME upgrading. The school has officially moved back as of 23 Nov 2011 and will function in its Lower Delta campus with new facilities such as an air-conditioned Multi-Purpose Hall, an Indoor Sports Hall, and a full-sized hockey pitch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CHIJ Saint Theresa's Convent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
