CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace

[harvardalum]

Hi Kozykape,


I'd contemplated RGPS initially, primarily due to the very close proximity. After reading and learning more about the culture of the school from what parents have posted and also chats with those in the know, I decided to send my little one to IJ instead. The kind of competitiveness there just does not sit too well with me. Nothing wrong with it though. Just my personal preference.

It's nice to send her to my alma mater anyway
It's just when I think about how scary transport cost is, I go into momentary self-doubt :frustrated:

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion

Hi, my girl is going P1 next year. Any 2015 P1 parents here?


Attended the orientation last week but didn't have any chance to ask questions. Anyone knows if there will be talks etc for parents on the first day of sch? Or where do we hang around while waiting for our girls?

Did not managed to ask the teachers regarding school rules, from what I found on the school's website http://www.chijourladyqueenofpeace.moe. ... id=1172754

Hope parents of current students can help answer some questions I have..

Regarding socks: Plain ankle-length white socks (7cm above ankle). Does the school have it's own socks? Didn't see any at the uniform vendor's setup last week. Does it have to be 7cm above ankle?

Regarding hair clips/ties: Plain small clips, narrow hair bands and ribbons, which are black, are allowed. Only black? Blue is not allowed?

Regarding earrings: No jewellery is allowed except for a pair of small gold-coloured ear stud (round shape only). Does it have to be gold? Silver is not allowed?

Regarding watches: Simple and ordinary black watches are allowed. No colourful watches or huge watches. The diameter of watches should not exceed 2.5 cm. Again, does it have to be black? That means I have to go buy a new watch for my girl then.

Thanks in advance for your kind advice :please:

Hi,

I have 3 girls current in CHIJ OLQP. P6, P5 and P1. So far, the experience is awesome! The teachers are very caring. The only complain I heard so far is that teachers are going on maternity leave leaving the lower Pri girls with relief teachers. I guessed since the majority of the teachers are female, this is some thing that cannot be avoided. They are serving National Service after all.

As for
Socks: They do not have official school socks. Just get them normal (not ankle) plain white ones will do.

Hair clips: Yup, only black, no other colours.

Earrings: My girls had been wearing gold ear rings (not studs) since day 1. I am not sure about silver ones.

Watches: Yup, black too. My 2nd girl wore a dark blue one (her birthday gift), so far ok. I think its because it looked like black.

Regards,
Riverbell

Do girls wear PE shorts under their pinafore during non-PE days? If yes, I would need to buy more of the shorts.


TIA.
