              so what was the final breakdown?

              Total vacancies for phase 2C had been revised to 50 (looks like somebody withdraw from 2B), and there are 46 people registered within 1KM, so only left 4 places for 30 plus ppl to fight for.

                to those who were at the SJIJ orientation on saturday… what do you think? after the session and watching my son interact with the teachers and future classmates, i knew i had made the right decision about his choice of school.


                anyone else care to share?

                  Hi Learningtobekiasu, I am a new entrant also trying to pick up this kiasu skill. My son will also be going to SJI in 2009 but I missed their orientation. Could you tell me more about the school?

                    well... what would you like to know?

                    some things i liked:

                    - they name classes after saints, not in ascending order (i.e. not primary 1 a, primary 1 b etc). they say this takes away the misconception that there are 'better classes'. all classes are equal

                    - they will keep the workbooks on premise instead of having the kids lug them up and down - to keep school bag weight down

                    - they have some interesting teaching methods for english (the name escapse me now!)

                        yes! thats the one. i get the sense that the school offers a more holistic approach to education rather than just focus on the academics.
