      I empathise with affected parents. I understand even the earlier 2 batches, parents somewhat know that the new jc will be in the vicinity of St Nicks and CHS as some of the parents pointed out.

      It appears to be a breach of promise by MOE. I understand this is not the first delay. Also now the holding site is switched. Double whammy!

      Some suggestions are:
      a)provide a nearby alternative site to build
      b) allow Dsa to other j c.

      I think switching to o levels is not a good option given that these kids worked hard for their p s l e and qualified for ip, with some even with scores to enter to raffles or nanyang or other academically top schools
      If IP students from SNGS / SCGS / Catholic High wish to transfer into Year 5 (2017) RI / HCI / VJC / NJC, etc : will there be vacancies available, to accommodate all those who are keen to seek Transfer ?

          IP students from (SNGS / SCGS / Catholic High Secondary) can use their IP results, to seek Transfer into Year 5 (2017) RI / HCI / VJC / NJC etc, while JAE students use O level results

              Yes but this is a breach of commitment by MOE. I understand because our children stay in schools v long hours, many parents take distance as a factor and this is also what moe has always suggested.

              These parents and kids had a choice but chose it because of both location and programme. Their frustrations are understandable. We should put ourselves in their shores. Talk is easy but waking up an hour earlier is no joke. And staying late in j c 2 to study is common especially if one does not have a conducive home environment. Don't think we want that for our own children

                Just read the newspaper report.


                Ok, since it all started with the delay from SJI's side, then SJI should just relocate to Mt Sinai in 2017 and let the new JC students take over the Bishan ITE site as planned earlier. šŸ¦†


                SJI cannot blame anyone but their own tender process, so why make so many parties unhappy? :siam:

                  I’m sure MOE can find a holding school for these JC1/2 students. Like they been have doing for many Pri Schs during the upgrading in recent years.

                    One consideration is having holding sch in Toa Payoh Rise ( near former TP Hospital and Caldecott MRT) . Used by St Nic and CHIJ Pri formerly.

                      Wrong configuration leh.
                      JC usually need lecture hall/theatre and adequately equipped labs.
