Hi Helping Hand,
I am formerly from CHIJ Katong Convent (pri and sec school). It is very strong in english, literature, art and drama. O level results during my time was quite good. The affliation to CJC is advantage though i did not end up in CJC due to the travelling distance. But chinese language is really not strong. Most students speak english and mandarin is hardly spoken. The strong ECA are swimming, tennis, girl guides.

But in terms of school culture, be prepared to get a culture shock. Just like i was very shock when enter HW for visit. CHIJ school need to pray 2-3 times per day, morning, during recess. There are once a month prayer session for catholic. For those who are non catholic can sit one corner of the hall. Do let me know if you have other questions to ask about the school, hope i can still help.

Hi, my sister is currently in this school too so i will know some. :boogie:

Are you going to follow your sis into CHIJ Katong Convent?

[Helping--Hand]

Nope because i have 8 marks more than my sis(230) and i can have better choices.

Then you will have to think of a 6th choice to replace CHIJ Katong Convent, if you do not want to join your sis.

I did. Even tucked in a label into his school bag. Wallets and bottles are must becos they may leave it aside when playing catch. Went all the way to label each colour pencil becos worried they may mix up when using.

All 4 schools listed above are in Band 2, so I guess academically wise they are comparable.

Did you visit the respective threads of the schools to learn more about the school culture, subject combinations offered, CCAs, etc?

Both CCH (M) and NCH are SAP , so if you like to continue to study in SAP environment, you can put them as higher piority. You could also use your HMT 2pts. Though NCH's website state that they are accorded in 2012, so it's best you double check can use for this current posting exercise or not. In addition, CCH (M) is affiliated to NYJC, so that's a plus too.

From what I know there are HW seniors in TKSG, TKSS and CCH (M), not sure if that's a pull factor for you too.

Go through their websites, the green book \" choosing your secondary school\", and try to find parents with kids from those schools or kids from there to learn more. Then follow your instinct. Best wishes in choosing the school that you like to grow with

Dear SAHM_TAN parent for your immediate response.
My sister said that if i had been in a Primary School for 6 years that has SAP, maybe try some NON-SAP secondary schools. I don't mind affiliation because deduct 2 points is only a bonus. I will go or TKGS as first choice as i wanted to strengthen my english subject and not chinese now.
1) Tanjong Katong Girls' School
2) Chung Cheng High Main School
3) Tanjong Katong Secondary School
4) Nan Chaiu High School
5) Zhonghua Secondary School (I this school, but too bad my score is higher)
6) Xinmin Secondary School
:thankyou: for parents who helped me! :love:
