CHIJ Family of Schools

[qms]

janet_lee88:

I wonder why CHIJ family of schools aren't standardized.

For eg CHIJ at Chestnut Drive is called CHIJ QLOP (sorry if I got it wrongly). Couldn't the schools be standardized like CHIJ Kellock, CHIJ TP, CHIJ Bukit Timah etc ?

So, you are suggesting CHIJ OLQP (it should be OLQP, not QLOP) be changed to CHIJ Chestnut? :scratchhead:

CHIJ Kellock is now not located in Kellock Road either, although it used to be.

there are two options :

1. change the name of the school to that of the new location
2. change the road name at which the school is located

eg in Bishan, you have Raffles Inst Drive or something like that ? or like in Jurong West Extension, you get Nanyang Ave etc ?

aiya, both a wishful thinking unless the school is very famous, else the school stick to old name wherever it goes

another example ....all the Raffles (city, place, etc etc) are named because RI / RGS used to be there

2. change the road name at which the school is located

Then all the residential/commercial properties along that road will have to change their addresses? You're right...wishful thinking!

Actually, I think they r trying to std a few. There's CHIJ(Our Lady of Good Counsel), CHIJ (Our Lady of Nativity) n CHIJ (our Lady Queen of Peace) all three got their new names or name change after they got their new Sch buildings thru prime. Probably d other IJ schs may change name aft they go prime. or maybe there will not be any change cos the names like IJ (Toa Payoh) n IJ (kellock) r alr household names. Name change may cause confusion or bring down d reputation.

The CHIJ at Chestnut wasn't given this name. BTW, what is PRIME ?
IJ Kellock and TP are household names now.

PRIME is the acronym for MOE's program of rebuilding the whole school to give it all the latest facilities


Programme for Rebuilding and IMproving Existing Schools (PRIME)

Thanks for your reply. Yup, CHIJ at Chestnut was rebuilt at about the same time as Pei Hwa.

Other than CHIJ St Nicholas which is a SAP school, how is the standard for the rest ? Can mummies care to give their opinions pls ?

Thanks

CHIJ (Toa Payoh) is good, the secondary is also good, other than St Nics, I
think, CHIJ Toa Payoh is the second best- but this is just in my opinion as both my girls are there and I hear a lot of good feedback from the other parents too
