There is one sec 1 IP class that has a bigger classroom that has 3 doors. All other IP and OP classrooms have 2 doors. So I am thinking it is just a building layout issue. Not that this particular IP class is more special. I think there. Is always a bigger classroom to cater for wheelchairs. For classroom “facilities”, they are all the same — they have tables and chairs of the same model, ceiling fans, AIR PURIFIERS in every classroom, etc.
We are considering between IP and OP St Nick as secondary school selection first choice.
Understand from a student of an equivalent CHIJ school that the school prioritizes IP students over OP students in many aspects including classroom facilities, treatment etc. Any existing St Nick OP student has similar feeling? The student also shares that teachers do not teach much in class and expect students to do self-studying outside school. Just wondering if St Nick students also experience the same?
Hope an existing St Nick student can share. Greatly appreciate it!
Treatment. For Speech Competition, Song Writing Competition, Maths Olympiad, Creative Art Program (by MOE GEB), NEmation, Lower Sec overseas immersion, etc, all on volunteer sign up basis. So it is open to all.
School work. They use textbooks in the booklist. For science that has no textbooks, they give out school-prepared booklets. I find everything very organised. I just asked if they are supposed to do self study, she said they are expected to revise school work at home. Some assignments require them to include content not found in textbooks to beef up your own assignment. Which I think is fair.
For additional info, the OP and IP exam scope has minor differences, eg Chinese could be from Lesson 1 to 10 for IP but Lesson 1 to 9 for OP. Very minor in my opinion. -

Info accurate for 2019 sec 1.
Additional info, there is a sch bus that can bring you from sch to Bishan for 3rd lang, if you dont want to take public transport and have no car to bring you. -
That is cool, thanks

No need sec 3 lah. Every year, I see big numbers at the start of the year in Bishan MOELC (and parents, please don’t jam up the road waiting for dismissal, there are public car parks nearby and there are folks - like me - on buses that traverse the road) before it gets smaller and smaller towards the end of the year.

I do not think u can quit 3rd lang anytime, prob put in a request at the end of the year only. My boy quitted end of year 2. Well he tried but he didn’t like having to memorise more stuff...his (little) interest wasn’t enough to overcome this problem 😂
