Hi Mum03,

Hi Namie, I’m not sure too but that was what i was told when i called the school up. If 2B is available that is good news, though the dilemma here is also which school is better in terms of a balance education? and should i worry too much about distance is she’s taking the school bus?


Hi Janet_lee88, OLGC is 10 mins away, TP 20mins (by car not school bus) - about the same when school moves to temp premise.

Will it be too tiring for a young child if the school journey is long considering she will go by school bus that will make multiple stops.

Can someone advice if TP and OLGC are single sessions?

If your girl is Catholic, you fall under 2B, regardless of distance, though you would have to provide your girl's baptism cert at registration to prove that she is Cathlolic. Hope that helps.

I just checked with a friend whose 2 nieces are at CHIJ OLGC and she confirms that it is single session for that school all the way.

Then you are safe! Good luck! For registration this year?

It is always finger biting for first child, :nailbite: after that, sit back and relax for 2nd child, especially if 2nd child is of same sex as first! Been there done that!

Actually 2nd child & only girl. Son's Sec 1 this yr also so stressed but he's tougher - WE experienced some \"culture shock\" 1st week when the older boys were behaving badly but he's settled in well. Also its been a while since i had to send my baby out to school (K2 only 3hrs) & being a girl + final child... more pampered - + she is very attached to us, still teary going back to sch after only 1 wk of sch hols... + I'm just a mom that can't seem to let go... sigh.... My hubby had to tell me \"Let son take the public bus for pete's sake, he's in sec 1\". Well, I'm just like that and am working, can't imagine if i stayed home with them, they'll be glued to my sides hahaha! I know i'm a terrible mum...

You have to learn to let go, it is good for both of you. If you don't start training your girl now, you are going to have problem with her going to P1 next year, serious.

Hi


I am new in this forum. Can some one please advise me what is the chances like for my daugther to get into CHIJ Katong. We are Catholics and we live more than 2Km from the school. Any balloting required for phase 2B on past history? Is it true that Catholics children get into phase 2B automatically?
