Hi Everybody!


I attended the Edusave Awards presentation with my boys this morning. MP Josephine Teo spoke about the new Bishan North CC before the ceremony and it will be located next to Eunoia JC. She mentioned that the facilities will also serve the JC, not too sure what she meant by that. The Eunoia JC canteen will be located below the stadium.

She also flashed four slides. Sharing them here......

Great! Congratulations to you! I think you should post it in the Eunoia JC thread if you haven’t.


To the DreamGear, IP students don’t take SS. KidCat, WRP is not really SS. They do take on modules like Cooking and Philosophy, according to my DS. But there is a large part of WRP that requires them to understand Political Systems of other countries and Contemporary China.

To the poster above, There are two kinds of CCA - First and Second. First is compulsory while second is a supplement, purely on a voluntary basis. Dance and Drama are first CCAs. Others include Uniformed Groups (ie. scouts, NPCC, NCC, SJAB), Performing Arts (ie. Dance, CO, Symphony Band) and Sports (ie. Basketball, Wushu, Volleyball, Track and Field, Tennis, Floorball) Clubs and Societies are not, however. CCAs like the ICT Club are considered as a second CCA.

Any idea how does Cath High group the students in Yr 1? As in according to DSA & non-DSA, or according to PSLE scores?

There is one class specially for DSA (talents other than academics) students. This is usually known as the \"Sports Class\", though there may be students who got in because of other reasons, like aptitude in music. I am not sure about the groupings of students who suceeded in DSA for academics.

Thank you for your correction, i must be out of touch with times already

Actually every schools be it IP or O or N levels, will have the social studies component, be it named as SS or in other branding.. as it is part of the National Education initiative.

Anyway its time to leave the thread and move on as my boy will be officially graduating from the school this coming wed.

Best wishes to everyone in CHS and have an enjoyable journey with your boy!

Can I check if anyone knows what are the CCA days every week and timing for lower secondary table tennis and uniformed groups?

[Lam]

Can I check whether the school provide locker facility? Thanks

[cherryseeker]

I heard no locker.

[Dreamgear]

Think you can rent locker

[Lam]

Thanks, will get my boy to check out where to rent the locker. Thought it will be more convenient to have lockers available so that it can offload some weights from the school bags…

Only 1 class use the classroom… can just leave the books under the desk
