CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' Secondary

[Crester]

phtthp:

Yes, agree that COP for IP @ 255 is .... high !

is not easy to get psle score, 255.

those (GEP + Mainstream) who manage to DSA into \"IP\" first, before sitting for PSLE -
did any Sec 1 pupil happen to DSA via academic, or the school don't allow such thing, ie. just enter, based on PSLE score alone ?

btw, for CCA -
is there water ballet (ie. combine ballet dancing skill + swimming), here?
thinking that water ballet is very graceful, gentle & beautiful dance in water.

Yes, there's still IP via DSA route but school caps the no of places inorder to maintain std of IP.
There's no water ballet if I'm not wrong.

Can anyone advise the class size of IP class? What is roughly the total intake for year 2013 sec 1 and any information of 2014 intake?


Is there any school bus service?


Thanks in advance!

IP class size abt 25+-
Total IP cohort abt 175.
No idea abt 2014 cohort size. Should be abt the same as still hv 'O' Level track girls.
Yes, there is 1 way only sch bus service, from what I know. Can check with school.

For Chij Saint Nicholas girls under the O level route under admission 2014,

Would they have minus 2 points to the new JC or continue to be affliated to ACJC?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Angel88,
Just to clarify...
St Nics is a Catholic mission Sch. She is affiliated to CJC, ( Catholic JC) , not ACJC ( Anglo Chinese JC), which is Anglican.

ACJC (Anglo-Chinese JC) is Methodist, not Anglican.
Also, SNGS O level students do not have bonus points to the new JC as far as I know.

Since Saint Nick offers both O level and IP, any information if the top pupils in O level track can be transferred to IP?

Or those who are unable to cope with IP can move to O level track?

What are the special programs in IP track?

Thanks in advance!

Transfer case to the IP Track by potential girls will be assessed on a case to case basic.
Where else for the other case, sch will monitor the progress of that girl, extra coach'g will be given. Drop out to O level track will be last resort. It's happens in all IP Schs.
Special Prog to name a few:
- Dynamic academics: Language skills, Humanities, Arts....
- Readiness Prog like current affairs, Philosophy...
- Prog that hone Characters n Leadership includ'g array of CCAs
- local n overseas attachment
- Opportunities for Research Prog

St Nicks' teachers are v nurturing...
The sch environment is just so family oriented...(jia mei tong xin)
It's Open House is 23/11... Welcome!

Thanks Crester and Thsheng99!


We stays quite far from Saint Nick, near Harbourfront. So distance is one of our concern, if DD manage to meet COP.

Would the morning pickup time be very early?

Is the Chinese language standard high?

Thanks in advance.
