CHIJ Family of Schools

[Mum2Gals]

Hihi, how does the school know you are an old gal of CHIJ Katong and not CHIJ Toa Payoh ? If based on report book, does it not all look the same ?

[ChiefKiasu]

Comparing these 2 CHIJs is almost like trying to compare a pair of identical twins. They are very similar in academic performance. Both schools excel in English, Malay and Tamil languages, but have sub-par performance in Chinese. They both perform very well in math and science too.


I would give a slight edge to CHIJ Katong for its strong focus in character development and sports.

Actually on the cover of the report book the states CHIJ, Opera Estate. That is the school that I was from but the school has since merged with CHIJ Katong years ago.

THANKS! CHIJ Katong PSLE results are on their web but not CHIJ TP so I dont know where to find out the PSLE results from. Any ideas?

As P1 is drawing near, wondering which one to decide CHIJ Katong or CHIJ Toa Payoh.


I heard that CHIJ Katong has better PSLE results & I'm an old girl so can get into Phase 2A2. For CHIJ Toa Payoh, advantage is affilitation to the secondary school. My mom lives within 1 km so can also get in. We now live about equal distance to both schools.

Anyone offer a vote?

mamapea,
although your mum lives within 1km, your registration will be categorised under 1-2km (for registration using caregiver's address), of which there are balloting based on last year's records.
do you want to take this risk?

Hi,


I am intending to enrol my daughter in CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel in Ang Mo Kio. Anybody have any idea how is the school? It seems from the school’s web site that the PSLE results are above the national average for the last few years. How about other factors like the caring principal, loving teachers, the conduct of the students in general, etc?

Thank you.

Hi, I’m living in Australia for the last 2 years but is brining my girl back for Pri 1 next year. We’ll be staying on Holland Drive, and is eiligble to register under Phase 2B for any CHIJ as we are Catholic. All the CHIJ are more than 2km. I’ve shorted to CHIj Kellock, CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace (OLQP) or CHIJ Toa Payoh. The Toa Payoh looks like need balloting ? anyone has any idea how’s the 3 CHIJ? any advise?

Hi, anyone have an idea what's CHIJ Kellock like? we are eligible under Stage 2B. one friend said the teachers don't \"drill\" the students enough? and the homework is given is too easy such that cannot cope with PSLE? does anyone sent their girls there have something to say? Any idea what's the school values? thank you.

These 2 schools are too close to call. I would give CHIJ Kellock a very slight advantage based on their historical academic performance.

Not sure if you want a school that \"drills\" students that much, but CHIJ schools are all generally very good for character building and academic performance. Those teachers I talked to in Kellock are nice, friendly and know what they are doing. Go for it.

Thank you ChiefKiasu. No, that’s not what I want. I’m looking for a well rounded education. But she make it sound so relax that I started questioning about my decision. And given that I’m overseas, I relied what people tell me, I guess…
