Hi, anyone knows the fastest / shortest route to get to SJI from Yishun via public transport? Heard there's a direct bus - 855 that goes from Yishun Bus Interchange to SJI with a duration of 30mins. Is that true? Tks in advance.

Suggest u can try MRT from Yishun to Toa Payoh (17 mins) then walk to bus stop outside the bus interchange, take 105/153 (3 bus stops, about 10 mins) to reach SJI.

855 does not go to SJI, if you still want a bus route might have to take 851 to thomson road then change to 132/156.

That’s the route for the current location, right ?


Any parents within the school heard anything about the move to Bishan holding site while the current school is being renovated ? I hear many ‘rumours’ but see no official annoucements yet.

Does anyone know what’s the chances of getting into SJI with aggregate score of 241 in this year’s PSLE?

I called the school and was told that we can usually base on the previous year’s COP to apply. Last year’s COP was 241, but knowing that they are going into IP from 2013, was wondering if the COP will go up this year?

I have always held SJI in high regards after seeing so many fine gentlemen produced by the school among our peers. But after reading some of the recent posts, am a little doubtful as the new leadership seems more focus on other agenda. Hope I have misunderstood.

Its demand and supply, anyway u can always put in an appeal as well first just incase the cutoff is still 241 and u miss it by the decimal places.

You can check the SJI website for more info on the school, its pretty comprehensive
