CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)

[janet88]

Hi Honey,

Several ex-classmates who visited TP premise said the school is still in very good shape since the last time school moved to Jln Rajah…really don’t understand the need for another upgrade.
Hubby was just telling me we really have to leave the house earlier to get daughter to school in the morn (Geylang Bahru)…that site is so out of the way.

Hi Mummies,

I called the school this morning...spoke to a Mrs Ng. She told me P1 will be in the afternoon session. Regarding the move, she said MOE has not given the go-ahead. I find it strange bcos it's mentioned in ST and website. :?
Oh yes, she even mentioned the school may not be moving after all. I don't know what is going on now.

My girl came back with memo. The school is not moving end of this year but will do so end of next year. The P1 for next year will still be in the afternoon session.

The new holding place will be in the Toa Payoh area

Please be near current premise cos it isn't a good idea to spend much time on travelling, esp since my will be in P6 in 2012! Better still, don't move .

I was very happy when I heard the school will be staying put at its present premise next year, and also when a staff member said the school may not be shifting at all.


Honestly, I was all prepared for my daughter to be in the morning session next year bcos she has to take that afternoon nap. But if the school doesn't move to bigger compound, the afternoon session for P1 will stay.

Honey,
My son will be in P6 in 2012 too ! Dragon kids right ??
I agree with you, don't move. Please, please please

Dear Mummies,


If you support the idea of staying put, or moving to a near-by premise in 2012, may I suggest that you write to Mrs Tan who is a very considerate lady, while she is planning for the next move. I did so previously, she replied me personally to the concerns I addressed. Just use the general school email address, your message will reach her.

My DD will be in P6 in 2012 too, she needs long hours’ sleep before going to school. So,


spending more time on traveling to school = less sleeping hours or, = less study time.

This is my main concern. I believe this logic applies to majority pupils. PSLE is so crucial, a good time management is so important, extra burden must be avoided.

On one hand, I'm glad the school is staying put in Toa Payoh next year. But, my daughter will be in the afternoon session and that means she has to go without her beauty sleep which she is used to since Nursery. She will be very cranky without that nap.

I really wish Mrs Tan agrees to let P1 go morning session.

As for the school, is there any need to upgrade when it still looks good ??

HI Mummies,

I just came back after registering daughter in CHIJ TP.
It sure felt good stepping into the school again, after so many years. The school changed so much…just can’t recognize it, except the walkway.

Mummies, is it compulsory to wear school socks ? One more thing, is the PE shirt for P1/2 sleeveless ? Thanks.

Hi,


It is not compulsory to wear school socks...but socks must be white. Yes P1 - 2 wear sleeveless PE T/shirt.

Blessedmum,

Thanks for your prompt response. Saw many gals wearing school socks, and was telling hubby not to get anymore white socks in case principal wants the gals to have a sense of belonging by wearing school socks.

I can't wait to see my gal wearing that familiar blue pinafore again. :rahrah:
