CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' Secondary

[Angel88]

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....

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!

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.

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.

Pick up time generally maybe early based on yr resident near Harbourfront.
Yr dd can still take the train to AMK station then short distance to SNG.
Hv a few back up Sec Schs. CGS is near yr place.

Mother Tongue- Higher Chinese std is High, I'm afraid to say. So normal Chinese std shd be there too.

DD interested to take biology but she do not want to triple science. She is also considering Full Geography or Full History. Still cannot decide full geography or Full history.


Her subject combination is
English Language
Higher Chinese
A Maths
Maths
Social Studies & Elective History
Full Geography
Physics
Chemistry

DD worried taking Biology will increase her curriculum load. Wonder how is the curriculum load in school if she want to take Biology in her subject combo?

I would like to know what is the promotion criteria for Year 1 for St Nic IP and what action will the school take if they cannot meet the promotion criteria?

If she has the passion for Bio, will do well.
Workload will be more but if can mgt her time, sure can handle.
Timetable for Upper Sec Triple Sci class usually ends abt 2.45pm.
