The SCGS exit will be ready in 2019.

Last weekend I just drove to Malcom rd.
Need to cross 2 traffic light n a canal to reach stevens mrt entrance.
Actually quite a distance.

Lianhe Zaobao reported that there are plans for a sheltered walkway to the new Stevens MRT underpass, ready in early 2020.

上述长约60米的地下人行通道建成后，学生便能从史蒂芬站直接从地底通到杜尼安路，陆路交通管理局也打算在通道出口建有盖走道，连接到新加坡女子学校和圣若瑟书院的校门前。

U can still try for 1st choice SJI IP (253) but also put 2nd choice SJI Exp (245) so after u are in SJI can still try for SJI IP at the end of Sec 2 for entry into Sec 3 SJI IP.

hi all


need to consult students and parents of students in SJI IB programme…

My son got 253 and i am considering whether to choose the SJI IP…a few questions:
1) my son is weak in languages but strong in Maths and Science. is the programme suitable for him?
2) i was told that IB is more project based and students are constantly graded via project work, unlike students sitting for just 1 ALevel exam. My eldest son’s army buddy who was from ACS International IB, said it is better to take A Levels as IB can be quite stressful.(they have to study constantly).however, my friend’s view is that IB is easier because unlike A Levels, the students are not graded just based on 1 exam…sigh! so would like to hear from students/parents, what is it really like to study in SJI IB?
3) is it true that there are a lot of writings involved so the child will struggle if he is weak in that area?

thanks much!
