Hi parents, my DS is in P5 and we are looking at SJI (IB) and I was wondering whether you could help!

- Has anyone gone through rugby DSA and could share some info about the process?
- Generally, I'm a bit alarmed as to the number of hours the kids have to spend on CCA (looking at 12h per week for rugby + tournaments plus a compulsory 2nd CCA for Catholics) on top of the demanding academics... Can anyone share how kids come with such a busy schedule?
Many thanks!

Hope you have a better insight reading the following from the SJI webpage:

Check with Parents of SJI boys: If the boy fails English at Sec 1 but does well in all other subjects, will he be pushed to O Level class?

Yes we have this. Just wondering if any parent has heard before or experienced before that the school waive this criteria at sec 1 level esp if student does well in the other subjects.

If school still in Bishan can easily take MRT from Bishan to Woodlands (30 mins) or if the school is back in Malcolm Road, can consider taking MRT from Stevens to Woodlands (45 mins) or bus 960 (1 hr)
