CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)

[Kaylasmum]

Hi all,

Am new to this thread. My girl just successfully got in under Phase 2B yesterday. Pray for all the 16 parents (2km) vying for that 1 seat this Friday.
It has been a nerve wrecking experience but I am glad it’s sweet victory.
Can I find out what time does P1 finish school? How’s the workload in P1?

Thank you

Congratulations.
I can imagine the stress of the parents fighting for just 1 seat. Who will be that lucky girl ?

Mon-Wed, school finishes at 130pm.
Thur-Fri, school dismisses at 1pm.
Workload is not heavy as it's mostly done in school.
Daughter has work brought home from this term onwards but can be completed within 20 minutes.

LOLMum:

most kids wear what they have at home like the chinese costume (qipao etc worn during cny), malay will be th baju .....etc. some will come in korean, japanese, european costumes depending on what they have. sia costume also can because it is kinda nonya.


you can try beauty world, little india or geylang serai.

27 out of 30 kids in ds's class (including ds) wore school uniform last friday (racial harmony day celebration). likewise for most kids in the school.

Alamak, have to buy a costume just for that day :yikes:
Looks like have to make a trip to Beautyworld. Will get a qipao for her then. Thanks for your prompt reply...just realized it's THIS Friday.

I thought the racial harmony day is Thursday??

Hi Kaylasmum/Sunflower,
Congratulations on successful application.
Although I was under P2A2, I was a nervous wreck too...so I understand how you felt.

Hi bebe,
Yes, I realized 'Racial Harmony Day' is today and NOT Friday...luckily my daughter reminded me. Mum brought her to Chinatown to buy the costume and there were many other little girls there also buying it :yikes: This is the first time I had to get it...never bought such costumes before.

Don't worry about bus operators or anything about this school.
This school is super efficient...your concerns will be answered during P1 orientation.
