About this site
This site was conceptualized and designed by Lee Xian Jie 李先捷. The ITMR Club, headed by Ms Annabella Ong, currently keeps the information up-to-date.
Launch dateThe current design you see now was launched on 7 July 2005. Design ToolsDesigned as a XHTML 1.0 Transitional website on Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, it supports mainstream browsers such as Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Navigator, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox was used as the test browser for the site. Web designers can install the extensions Colorzilla and Checky. Colorzilla is used as a dropper tool for colors, while Checky automatically checks pages for W3C standard compliance. As for the graphics, we use the GNU Image Manipulation Program (Gimp) and Google's Picasa to do quick editing. Chinese and Malay Language versionsWhy provide language alternatives?
Therefore, we are currently in the process of translating this English version to Chinese 中文(简体) and Bahasa Melayu. When this is fully completed, Hai Sing Catholic School will be Singapore's first school website that is avaliable in English, Chinese and Malay. The Mother Tongue Department will collaborate with the ITMR Club to achieve this goal. Unfortunately, Tamil (தமிழ), another of Singapore's official language, cannot be included as an alternative, due to technical limitations. However, do contact us if you know any free translation tools that can translate English to Tamil. We would be happy to include a link. As for other languages, try Google Translate. It can translate 8 different languages. Be warned that translations are not entirely perfect though.

Uniform Resource Locator (URL)Visit us at these addresses
You will see the same pages at both
addresses. The Ministry of Education set-up the domain alias so that
all of Singapore's government schools have a standardized URL.
To access other school websites, the URLs
will be Google Sitemaps
We are trying out Google Sitemaps (BETA) so that you can search our website easily through Google. By putting up a sitemap, Google will be able to detect changes in our content regularly and quickly update their databases. Web StandardisationPassed Section 508 (Accessibility)
