Hi noixlml,

We had so many masses then…like it or not, Catholic or not, compulsory to attend. But it’s not so bad since it is a prayer either for the country or teachers. The priests are jovial too.

Now, parents can choose whether to let the daughters attend Catechism or Ethics. I’m glad that I have chosen this school for my daughter, the principal seems to be open to parents’ opinions and warm.

Is there something wrong with the school website? Cant seem to get there

Hi,


My girl is not a Catholic, and just wondering whether it is good for her to attend the Catechism class or Ethics class?

As she herself wanted to learn more on bible studies and I am thinking that Ethics class is good too as mentioned, they teaches morals.

Hi parents of current P1 (next year P2) CHIJ TPY girls,


Help recycle!!

For sale - Higher Chinese for Primary Schools Textbook 2A and 2B as well as the Discover Maths 2A & 2B Textbooks. Also, SAP Higher Chinese Topical Revision for Pri 2A workbook (for free with Higher Chinese textbooks) as about 30% of book written in. However, it should be easy to erase the pencilled in answers.

As expected, the textbooks are not in pristine condition though they were in plastic covers. So, not for fussies.

Please pm me.

Thanks

[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]Hi guppy,


Parents now are allowed to opt out of Catechism class. During my time, all of us, regardless of Catholics or not, have to sit in and listen. Ethics is good and teaches morals. BTW, are there still as many masses now ?
Does Father Simon still go to IJ ?

My dd has never heard of Father Simon. I think they don't go for masses unless they're Catholics.

OIC...in the past, there was masses for just about every impt event...to pray for teachers, students, country and Catholic impt dates.[/quote]Yes he does and they conduct retreats for all the girls. :lol:

No. The HCL books are from my niece who's from another school.
