Hi All,


Am planning to enrol my girl in 2C phase this year.

Would like to hear some good & bad feedback about the school.

Was wondering as a CHIJ school, why isn’t the school as popular as some of the neighbourhood schools around the areas?
ie. no balloting required at phase 2c for the past few years.

Thanks.

Accessibility and proximity to home is also an important criteria when choosing a school.
If this gives you the advantage, then select this school

Thanks for the reply.


I am actually contemplating between Teck Ghee (hub’s pri sch) & OLGC. 2 schools of totally different culture but equal dist. from my place. Hence, am looking for some opinions.

I'm assuming you have gotten a place in Teck Ghee under P2A2. Both schools are of similar standings, i.e. not top of the rankings but not too bad either. However, OLGC is affiliated to a secondary school and is an all-girls school. Thus:

If you have only daughter(s) - OLGC.
If you have boy(s) as well - Teck Ghee.

Hi, I’ve registered my DD in OLGC for 2018 P1. Hope to hear from parents whose DD will be in the same school next year! Looking forward to their orientation already!

Thanks Floppy.

I have gotten a place OLGC.

Wondering if anyone know why is there a pre-orientation when most schools only have an orientation in Nov.

When my daughter joined (which was 7 years ago!), they did a short reading and spelling test in the pre-orientation as well as asked questions about whether the child had attended pre-school, language spoken at home etc. You could also buy uniform and books on the day.
