Can Sec 2, Sec 3 parents please advise regarding using of laptop. How extensive is the usage and do they need to bring it to school every day.

My DS has joined sec 1 and is expected to bring notebook as part of BYOD from 21 jan.

Thanks Dazzle.


Any parents engaging school bus for their SJI kids…please let me know your experience
how often do the kids come back from the school in the school bus…

need some advise please...DS just started in SJI...we live in Simei...he's currently taking the MRT from Simei to Newton...and bus no 700 from Newton to Whitley Road...is takes an hour+


is there a better way? any suggestions would be appreciated

Did you contact the bus operator Mr Yeo at 97460505?

yes...that's an option...DS thinks that school bus is not cool for sec school...but open to it...just exploring options

also is it true...that even if we enegage Mr.Neo...most of the the times the return from school will be on his own...because of the sec. school schedule...CCAs etc?

any one sucessful in VS appeal?...my DS is on waiting list... the final list was announced today but we didn't receive the call...he scored 246 (which is COP) and VS is 1st choice....can anyone pls advise if there is still any chance of getting in

Is your DS Singaporean?
Does he have any CCA?

No, we are PRs, which i guess is one of the reasons we are not ahead in the waiting list. As per rules, first right is to citizens, which is understandable. Fingers crossed. His CCA in P5 and P6 was soccer.

anyone with successful appeal to VS please post

My nephew got offered VS but turned it down because his appeal at another school went through. So there will surely be some places available later if there are more cases like him....

hope so...keen that DS gets into VS....that will open up another place at SJi for someone
