Hi carol73, i am oso old school girl of chij kellock. I agree totally wif carol on chij. I am staying in telok blangah area i could have registered my girl in radin mas since it will be easier for my boy to get in much later. Best of all its 1 session, at least my girl can spend more time on other activites.

Hi icebaby!

If you're think of registering your girl under phase 2A (ex-student), you only have prioity at the primary school that you attended, ie, CHIJ Katong. Even joining the almuni would not entitle you to register at any other IJs at phase 2A. Btw, deadline for phase 2A is over for this year.

Hi ! Does anyone have any comments about CHIJ Lady Queen of Peace (Bt Timah). I’m thinking of enroling my girl there. Really appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

[icebaby]

thanks socks.


No lah…my daughter is only 3 mths now. But I asking ahead of time as I was reading up that there was no affliation…so I wonder why some people says there is. Cos I read thru the MOE stuff and even emailed them few yrs back before.

But I will be registering for my oldest son for Phase 2B under PV under Holy Innocents. It’s a tight race this yr. =(

:shock: For a moment I thought you qualify for our super-kiasu mummy award

Hope you get into Holy Innocents for your son this year... that way you can skip all the P1 registration hassle for your daughter!

Hi Socks


this is what my friend said of CHIJ Bt Timah. Gabby is her girl who is in Pri 1. Hope it helps.

What touches me about them is that Gabby had an awful time fitting in initially. She used to cry so badly she couldn’t speak. They gave her a school counselor, the old principal (Sr Joan), and the form teacher called me daily, and were kind and loving. On top of regular work, they also have loads of mock-ups, drama, plays, school visits, community visits (charity work). Gabby’s class has 2 students that are mute, and 1 student that is hearing impaired (so bad, the teacher has to wear a headphone & battery while teaching so she can hear). But they do it, and they do it happily. Now that to me, is a good school. Personal touch.

Principal insists on compulsory CCA (formerly known as ECA) from P3 onwards. They’re very good at band, tap dance and choir.

The school streams from P2 onwards, but it’s not “official”. 1Hope (where Gabby is), 2Hope, and 3Hope are the best classes. Then the best class shifts to the Peace (4P, 5P, 6P) classes
