Hi, my DD is transfered to IJ starting next year at Pri 3. I have not get the PE attire for her as the PE Attire vendor said that I need to know the house color for my DD which has not been told to us.


I was told to get the school badge when school reopen after knowing the house color from the General office.

Can anyone confirm this? Thanks

Academic performance . Are all 3 schools SAP? I only know Hong Wen is.

Nan Chiau belongs to the group of hokkien huay kuan schools. If you have a younger boy that needs to enter primary school soon, then choose either Nan Chiau or Hong Wen. If you want an all-girls environment for your gal and you want her to excel in English, then choose CHIJ TPY. If none of the above, then would just advise you to take the most popular.

which one is the most popular? when choosing will you parents think of the school affiliation ?

going for P3 next yr. I have called CHIJ St. Nicholas as well and the Application closed on 21 Nov.

Hi, I m a bit of dilemma now. I have applied transfer of school for my daughter due to re-location of address. I have just received 3 calls from the following schools:

1. CHIJ (TYP)
2. Nan Chiau
3. Hon Wen

All applications are successful. Now my wife and I are deciding which school to go to by 18 Nov. Anyone has any recommendation for the above schools?

Pontong Pasir .. for (2), my in-law is staying @ Punggol who can take care of her

Thanks for your clarification.

Based on past years' P1 registration statistics, (2) is the most popular choice among the three schools.

What are your considerations?

:yikes: Relocation? But 1 and 3 are so far from 2, right? So, where are you relocated to?

Fat Mama:

yup, i understand Maris Stella is a SAP school. however, looking through the CCA of Chung Cheng (Main), there's alot of activities that are Chinese related. Maris Stella offer something different.


my son score A for his CL2 (to me it is a miracle as he always fail his CL2 Paper 2). my son has to buck up his Chinese and he has promised he will try (he has done that for his PSLE)

my son's form teacher just called to remind to submit the Application. i have told her the choices and same question as you have mentioned - Maris Stella is a SAP school. same thing i have told her and she think if my son do not \"switch off\" - not paying attention, he should be fine.

as for the last choice, i don't know what to put after going through the list many times and decided on Xinmin. any suggestion?

If that is the case, then I would say let's leave the choices as they are. Chances of him getting in Maris Stella is quite high if you have already taken into account the SAP status.

For the 6th choice, I don't know where you are located, but based on your choices, I would think you are somewhere in the North East area. Not sure how convenient Ngee Ann and Dunman Sec is to you, but they sound more logical than XM as a last choice, but that said, considering that you have made quite good choices for 1st to 5th choices, it is quite unlikely for your to be posted to your 6th choice school so you may want to leave it as it it, of course, knowing very well that it's sort of wasting that choice by putting XM as the 6th choice. It's all up to you, as I think your chances of getting in MS is quite high.

i understand the 6th choice is like wasting it for putting Xinmin. my wife don't really like Dunman Sec and Ngee Ann is a bit far away.

i will leave the choices as they are. thanks all for giving the advices esp. you - 25hrmaid
