Hi,


We were under Phrase 2C four years ago. If I remembered correctly, there were <40 places for 110 applicants.

My girls had CCA every Tues, Thurs and Supplementary every Friday. Come mid March, they will be having Chinese Speech and Drama every Monday. So the only time they come home at 1:45pm is Wed. They dismissed at 4pm all other days.

They had this type of time schedule since Pri 1. However, I must mention that they are the ones who wanted to opt for all these extra activities. I do monitor their energy level to avoid burnt out. But so far so good.

I do know of parents who didn’t opt for any of these extra after school activities as their daughters have to attend private tuition/ ballet/ piano classes. So it is still up to the parents/ students whether they want to attend.

Same as Riverbell, my girls opt for what they want, and I just support as much as I can. I only apply the condition that they do what they like, the best they can, and they take responsibility to finish what they started.


This school already has enough programs to cover an overall development, particularly in leadership. I see my girls from being a bit apprehensive to willing to take the lead and having a positive outlook about leadership.

IMHO, the long hours can be there, but it is about converting the long hours into worthy hours.

My girl was balloted out from Phase 2C last year but luckily she managed to get in in the end. The school has changed according to MOE requirements that all P1 and P2 pupils do not require to stay back after sch hours and there will be no exam for these 2 levels as well. My girl is quite relax and not much homework to do. Even if there is, I can see that the work given is to gear up the child to a higher level as compared to other schools which fail to do so.

Hello CHIJ Moms, my DD will be going into P1 registration this year and I am considering CHIJ QLP and De La Salle. I stay in CCK but would not mind the journey to QLP. Would like to ask your advice how is the school environment, teachers and culture? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,


Any kind soul here who can advise me which phase (2A1 or 2A2) should I register for if I am an \"old gal\"? Have checked with the school but I was told that they do not have an alumni association.:(
