St James Church Kindergarten

Hi all, my child is currently on waitlist for 2016 PN class. My queue number is 50+. Any parent also on waitlist?


And to exitsing parents, were you on waitlist before? Can you share your experience here? Like your queue number and how long did it took for SJCK to email you about the available vacancy.

Damn stressful. I am looking out at other schools also, in case i don't get any emails from them.

One mummy in Asian Parent commented that St James had opened a third session from 2.30pm-5.30pm n her child, under waiting list no.100+ could finally get in. Not sure if it still valid today.

Hi my kid is in PNPG Session 2 1130an to 230pm. Is there anyone who would like to share a cab to and from the East, ie, Upper East Coast Road/ East Coast/ Fort Road/ Katong/ Marine Parade/ Bedok/ Simei/ Tampines/ Pasir Ris?

Hi Mummies, I registered my son for PNPG at Harding and even though there was vacancy, I did not confirm the registration because of the uncertainty of the move then. Now that I know they will be moving to Gilstead, I am not sure if I want to let my son go to Harding for one year and then move to Gilstead after. I was told Gilstead is full anyway.


My concern is the location. Gilstead is quite out of the way and I am not sure if school bus is a good option at such young age. Can mummies who are planning to let your child take the school bus share your views please?

Hi BabyR, my PNPGson loves taking the bus. It is an adventure. Only thing is, it is longer travelling time. So less sleep for everyone as we have to wake earlier.

I would also like to know if chances r v slim for queue numbers between 30s-50s. Any mummies can share ur experience?

Any mummies whose child will be at the new Gilstead campus next yr? My child just got a Plc there!

My son just got into Pre Nursery at Gilstead as well! Anyone else in session 1?


Separately though we really hope Harding gets extended because we love the campus there. Anyone knows when we may hear about the lease renewal?

Thanks in advance!

Mine is session 2, pre-nursery too. Do u think the Gilstead new campus look a bit old? I know it is the former Gracefields kindergarten. Ru taking school bus? I hope I can transfer her to the Leedon campus as the location is more convenient.

i used to be in SJCK from 2005-2007, and i must say, its really the best years of my life! I'm not sure if this affected my chance of getting in, but both my older sisters were also in sick so it might have made it easier for me:) haha, i guess there really isn't a specific reason why its so popular, but up to now, I'm in sec school and i vividly remember memories in the annual concerts, a number of friends, and even the routine i had there. Really memorable. tbh, i really miss it and i think it builds a much stronger foundation to p1? i don't remember having much problem settling into p1. But will not say much bc dont want to mention any specific other kindergartens! I actually went to mont. then sick so all the pre-school years were quite fruitful for me!
