s_0125:

between CHIJ (Katong) Primary and Haig Girls' Primary, which school is better?

I would prefer IJ (Katong). One added advantage would be that there is affiliation all the way to JC.

I compared their PSLE result. Haig Girl is much better.

[bbmummy]

But CHIJ’s English A&A* results is better than haig.

The science and maths results are similar…

Thanks Marc and Tankee. It looks like you guys are right. Poor friend. He worked so hard to do grassroots work and also Huay Kuan... Maybe got to rent a place nearby to increase chance.

Here is the past two years comparison.


2008 ENG CL MATH SCIENCE
HAIG 62% 95% 59% 60%
CHIJ 79% 75% 55% 54%
National 44% 81% 44% 43%

2009 ENG CL MATH SCIENCE
HAIG 62% 89% 51% 47%
CHIJ 71% 79% 51% 45%
National 44% 82% 43% 43%

CHIJ is strong in English, but Chinese is below national average.
Also, HAIG has the students who scored more than 270 the last three years, but CHIJ didn’t.

I drove past TNS just now, there was a queue of cars waiting at the main gate to go into the school.

Just came back from TNS 2C registration. The number of applicants before lunch break is 54.

Hi, may I know how long does the registration take?

Actual registration is actually quite fast... max 10 mins to fill up the form and verify information provided. Its the waiting time if there are alot of people registering at the same time.

Thanks.


I can only take leave in the afternoon on wednesday to register. The registration I understand starts from 2.30 to 4.30pm. I presume can be registered on time right since its the last day?
