would like to ask if anyone had transferred to CHIJ SNGS? can share experience?


if your application is accepted, does it mean transfer effective next school calender or next Jan?

You can read pg 62 of this discussion.

If accepted, the school will advise when the transfer will take place. No difference to parents coz it’s a happy problem.

Schools usually only take in for next calendar year but also heard of some rare cases accepting middle of the year…

Hi everyone,


My new house will only be ready mid of 2015. My girl will be p2 then. Can i hv her transfer in mid yr, or transferring is always done at a brand new yr?

Thanks!

P2 in 2015 means P1 next year, reg this July? If your house is not ready, you can still apply for a school nearer the new home with the sales agreement. There is no need to go to another school then apply for transfer. Transfer is not easy unless the school in question is not a popular school.

Do go through the previous pages of this thread for the sharings by parents. Thanks for your cooperation.

how long will the transfer be done when there’s vacancies?

[cherrygal]

If there are vacancies, everything can be done in a few hours.

1) Accept offer
2) Withdraw from old school
3) Buy uniforms, books etc

If you care about what your kid thinks, you may want to seek opinion first before signing the acceptance letter. If draconian about it, then just bear the crying… it’ll all be over.

That’s all.
