Hi Gracey109, there were 134 available for phase 2A2, of which 11 taken, 123 left. 50% of 123 will be for Phase 2B, which is 62 places.

Hi R3mom. Thanks for the info. I think 62 places is quite a lot! I hope my daughter can get it. What level is your daughter in now? How do you find the school so far?

Hi,


My daughter just got a place in OLQP.

Just wondering if there are any student care nearby the school.
Cos I heard that St. Joseph Church Student Care is closing down.

Any recommendations?

cheers!

R3mom:

Hi ziltransformer, if I were u, I'd opt for CHIJ OLQP over the other 2, as yr dd will hv an affiliated sec school. The other 2 schools hv affiliation for boys only if I'm not wrong.

Not balloting require for Phase 2b (phew!)

Congrats...


Actually i saw some information given in this website on student care centres in singapore.

Perhaps you can have a look at it on which one might be nearer to you before you head down for a look.

I have one child there, and another going in...

So far, this is an impressive convent girls' school if you ask me... the child development is very all rounded and I particularly like the values they teach, which IMHO is more important than the cirriculum itself. They endorse a very positive attitude approach in the students. OQLP really went over my expectations as we were worried about CCA being limited, etc. The teachers there are pretty good too if you ask me. Of course, there is more to improve, but they are doing very well by any standards IMHO.

My child does stay twice a week... but recently upped to 4 days a week. The school transport system is supportive for afterschool events, which is a great relief.
If I am not wrong, two days are for essential classes, and one for CCA... the last additional day is an opt-in for conversational language. We were also worried at some point for the conversational 3rd language, but our child had the attitude and made the commitment (as a 8 yo would surprisingly) and she throughly enjoys herself.

Tired? Yes... that's why we need to adjust our return home for work timing to spend time with the kids, and then make sure she sleeps as early as possible. It's DO-able... just how we manage it all.

Also, the parent's attitude says it all...
I have two criteria for my children - Do your best and have fun.
IF they do their best, no one else can say anything... and if it is fun for them, then they will drive themselves.

Have faith in your kids... they are from you too. You did pretty fine, and so will they.

All the best!
