Hi,


Just to clarify, there is indeed a drive thru at gate A when it is raining.
It’s not just for school bus only. Hv pick / drop off my dd couple of times there during the wet weather.

Hello Fern,


If you do not stay within 1km of Radin Mas, its practically not possible for you to enrol, basis on previous historic enrolment results.

The girls do not stay back unless they hv their enrichment, CCAs or remedial classes. The only day for late dismissal for all is on Fridays - till 3.30pm.

Fm what i see basis on the curriculum my DD is having, they are really emphasizing on an All-rounder. I wld believe this is generally the case for CHIJ schools.
Currently in P1 this year, they hv roller-blading, art classes and even teaching them on household chores like folding clothes etc.
This has, in fact, helped my DD settle well into P1.

Hello all,


Welcome !

To answer some queries :-

1) Rainy Days - Parents are allowed to drop off their kids in the main entrance when it rains.
Dunno what’s the Gate’s name, but its just at the front of the General Office (where you did yr registration)
Otherwise its at the side gate (Gate C) next to the church

2) Blue sweaters - Understand fm my DD, you are allowed to wear blue sweaters, not necessary school ones.
Hwr, i got her a CHIJ blue jacket during orientation. Its really big tho, more suitable for P2-3 onwards.

3) Uniforms on Orientation day - The girls are required to wear uniforms during their Orientation but maybe for some its not available yet or didn’t buy as i do see some girls without.

4) Trolley bags - There are some girls who are carrying trolley bags. Hwr Kellock do not hv classrooms on the groud floor so yr DDs will hv to drag the bags up to 2nd floor.

5) Textbooks - no textbooks for Maths/English but worksheets and a grammer handbook fm Teacher’s production.

6) Orientation Day - they played some games while parents were at the hall.
They are also required to read some English words in order for the teachers to gauge their reading readiness. Its apparently simple sight words, so do not fear.

yes of course. In the mornings, noon pickups and CCA pickup days.

Hi Tittank,


They hv a gate for parents picking their daughters near St Teresa’s Church , which is just below the Bt Purmei Estate. Its open daily for pickups after school at 1.30pm and during CCA/Enrichment Classes at designated timings.

As for yr chances…basis on last year’s data, seems no prob. Then again every year there are surprises… Good Luck !

Hi,


You can actually find it at Chinatown Hawker Centre. 1st floor. Its a shop opp the escalators. A bit difficult to find.
Hwr, if u r looking for size 30, they ran out of it, incl the school bookshop
Good luck !

I understand there will be a new PATs branch in Alexandra (former Odessey) and Halifax’s principal will be heading it. Maybe you can try this branch if logistics is not an issue.

hello all ! I wish to also join the club too!

Am a mother to a 6-yr-old Girl :lol:

My DD does alot of pretend play too.
She loves to pretend to be in different scenarios, be a mother, or big sister or teacher etc etc.
And all these requires her to talk to herself or to whoever that's playing with her. So i wld think its normal.
But so far hv not heard of her mentioning abt \"a friend\" in one corner though

Hi,


Need to check with current parents if there’s any "colour code" for schoolbags,watches, hairbands etc for the school ?

I remembered previously when studying there, its black or dark blue hairbands / rubber bands only. Can’t remember abt the rest.
Has anything changed ?

wow... that's bad. Thank goodness i don't hv this issue then.

Otherwise wouldn't be on this thread :lol:
