CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)

[janet88]

Hey bebe,

Wow, lots of valuable info you have there. Really appreciate it.
P1 is more of of settling and adjusting to school, and not to scare the kids during the transition from pre-school to the REAL school of exams.

好朋友 is compulsory but we can use Edusave to pay for it, including the IT programs later which are subsidized.

As for assessment books, I used to get Fabian Ng and Dawn Tai for my son. But hubby told me it’s too difficult and will kill his motivation. So this year, NO more of these authors. So I switched to Longman Weekly Maths and Shaping Maths, Maths Builder instead and Simon Eio (Step-by-step).
Eng - Challenging Eng 4-in-1, Conquer Vocab, Conquer Grammar, Casco Classroom Eng (Grammar/Vocab/Comprehension cloze).
Chinese - Higher Chinese comprehension, Weekly Chinese (my boy is doing Higher CL but will ask him to drop next year P5).

Hi, anyone knows how to arrange CCA bus? What timing they have, how much? Must pre arrange with the school or can get on the bus like that?

The timing of the CCA buses are at 3.15pm & at 5.15pm. No need to pre arrange. Ask your dd to go up to the bus & show the bus uncle your address (you may write the address & ask your dd to show). CCA bus is $1/- each trip.

Thanks Honey! But where shd dd wait for the bus, how would she know is a CCA bus? And just curious, would it take forever for her to reach home since the girls don;t stay nearby each other? And it's $1 no matter the distance?

I'm not sure if it is $1/- for any distance but I was told it is $1/- for CCA bus. I'll PM you the bus owner's HP no & you can check with him? He's a very nice & friendly man.

Hey Mummies,

Can I check with you if CCA is compulsory ? Thanks.

Hi! is anyone able to tell me whether the school will be a am or pm session after the move to Gelang Bahru premise? Would the Pri 1 registration be affected by the move? its rather inaccessible.


All replies will be greatly appreciated!

thank you!

Babyfeet,

I asked the school administrator if P1 will be in the morning session or afternoon at the temporary premise. She told me MOE has not replied them yet. So far, from what I understand only P1 is in the afternoon session. It would be great if MOE allows the school to go morning session from P1-6.

[babyfeet]

oh yes! i really hope that it can be in the morning session. it will be less disruptive for our family. and i can’t imagine my daughter doing homework at 8 or 9pm coz there will be no one guiding her in the day as she is with her grandma! keeping my fingers crossed!


thanks for your reply!

Do any of your P1 gals take catered food?


My elder gal took the catered food for 3 terms when she was in P1. I did not continue with the catering in term 4 as she said she was getting sick of eating the same kinda food for almost 9 months..

Now my younger gal in P1, totally skipped the catered food after the first week. She said she felt like vomiting when she tasted the food. Was it that bad???
She hates to eat porridge, fishball noodle or fried noodle and even bolognese pasta. She only took those stuff like choco muffin, mushroom soup and waffles etc.

I have been packing sandwiches, pancakes, cakes, bread/bun and cereal for her..gonna stop the catering services next term.
