Hi dear parents,


Anyone can share more about the Innomakers programme? What is the commitment for those who DSA-ed through Innovation? What’s the culture of the school?
My DS has received CO from SJI (IB)and another school (IP - A level).

Thanks 😊

Hi,


Would like to ask something, maybe someone can help. My son just got his PSLE results back and he has surpassed the COP 238 for entry as he is from an catholic affiliated school.

Just wondering if he can definitely, get in, if he puts the school as first choice? Or is there a chance that he won’t can’t get in, even if his score is 245? Just want to be clear before applying

Thanks in advance

238 is the minimum COP for affiliated schools.

There is still the issue of max. 80% places set aside for affiliated students. If there are more than 80% affiliated students applying, the COP will be changed accordingly. Therefore, there is still a chance he won't get it BUT the likelihood that happening is low as 238 isn't a low COP to begin with.

I’m hoping someone can help clear the confusion. I understand from SJI website that it is a IP program which ultimately leads to the IB in Year 5 and 6.


What does that actually mean, does it mean that from years 1-4, the kids study the MOE IP which focuses on the typical o level subjects and the IB subjects like Philosophy and project or essay work kicks in only in Year 5 and 6?

Does this mean that the SJI IB is different from the ACSI IB?

Dear Parents,


To understand how the 2020 PSLE cohort performed and therefore have a better perspective of how the COPs of different secondary schools are likely to move (ie. increase or decrease), can parents of this year's cohort kindly help to post the highest T-score (please EXCLUDE the HCL bonus points) in their child's respective primary school by clicking on the below link?

https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/t-scores/

Currently, the table only reflects the t-score information of < 20 schools which makes it difficult for any meaningful analysis. Hence, would like to appeal for more parents to step forward and share the highest t-score data in their child's primary school by clicking on the above link.

Many thanks in advance!

My son got into SJI via DSA. I would like to check if there are any parents out there donating preloved SJI Sec uniform as I would like to be environmentally friendly. Moreover my son is growing too fast now and I don’t really want to get him uniform that he will outgrow in 2-6 months time. He is currently 1.65m and about 51kg. Any hand me down books are welcomed too. Thank you in advance. 🙏

Does anyone aware of any existing SJI WhatsApps/Telegram/WeChat group? Thanks.

Is there any eateries nearby SJI to recommend? Other than school canteen and these places (I understand that there is Caltex petrol kiosk, McDonalds and Subway nearby), where does SJI/SCGS students normally hang out when they have CCA or extended lessons?

Hi. Any parents with kids who manage to get into SJI through DSA leadership? Can share some insights on the application process? How is the interview like and what are the kind of questions asked during the interview.


My son is in p6 (2021) and we are thinking of applying dsa through leadership since he is a prefect. Not sure if that alone is sufficient to qualify.

Hope to hear from parents out there.

Many thanks.
