Does Canossa Convent primary have student care ?

Thank you very much, for kind info.

(helping a friend to inquire, as her dd coming in next year)

By what do you define as student care? They have a Sister who does student counselling. They do not have Allied Educators for Behavioural, Learning or Special Needs.

Mummy phtthp: There is a student care centre inside the Canossaville Children's Home which takes in the students both from the School for the Deaf and the Convent, I think.

I will be calling them soon after I get my registration confirmation letter today or tomorrow. My daughter is going in next year together with your friend's child, do ask her to PM me for more info next week.

Last year, SC within and outside 2 km filled up all vacancies nicely. No chance for a couple of PR who couldn't withdraw in time.

Canossa Convent is a small school, and a friend's DD (P1 this year) enjoyed going to school everyday. Teachers are caring and nurturing, as befitting a convent environment. It'll be a good choice for phase 2CS, since there're more vacancies this year. Another good choice will be Marymount Convent (hot balloting for 2CS last year). Otherwise, there're surprisingly several girls' schools in the East with vacancies in 2CS stilll, worth considering if you live around there.

Nevertheless, I think it's better to wait until last day of 2CS to register (unless you happen to be within 2 km of these schools and confident of getting a place). I don't think you want last minute nasty surprise of balloting.

Updates on the student care:


I received my confirmation letter of registration last Friday and managed to call the student care centre today.

The centre is located inside CCH which is within the same compound as CCPS. There is St Michael’s Church next door as well but I believe it’s a separate compound from the Canossian institutions.

For those going to P1 next year, the convenience is quite unbeatable as the school is shifting back to the Sallim Road compound in Dec 2014.

The lady in charge is Maryann (sounds quite stern but was very helpful). Tel: 67485777.

Fees are $290 per month currently with $30 non-refundable registration fee. The centre operates from morning till evening. I’m not sure why they start in the morning but maybe there are children from other schools in the afternoon session. Official program starts once the girls are walked over from CCPS (lunch then homework). Ends at 5.15, I think girls taking school bus get picked at that time. The rest stay around till their parents come by 6.30. Gate closes at 7 p.m.

Children are put in classes of 20 with one teacher/supervisor in charge of each class. Homework time starts after their lunch but the younger ones are encouraged to nap if they feel tired. I didn’t ask her how or where they can nap.

There is a literacy program on weekdays and music percussion program on Saturdays. Weaker students get coached by volunteers (she didn’t say who these volunteers are, I suspect ex-students who did well in school).

Holiday Program is from 8.30 to 5.30 during all the school holidays. Centre closes for 5.5 days in December but is open all other days except Sundays and public holidays (probably in lieu as well).

Hope I have covered everything. The fees certainly look very reasonable compared to Maris Stella’s student care where my girl’s twin brother will be going to.
