Hi All,


I had heard that CHIJ (Kellock) had removed the affilation for the kids to enter St Theresa Convent. :gloomy: Meaning that cannot have any discounted points during PSLE.

Wonder this would affect which batch of students in the current school.
Anyone can share?

2013 P1 intake: Bukit Merah schools


http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/vacancies/#bukit-merah

8 classes (240 pupils): Radin Mas, Zhangde, Blangah Rise, Gan Eng Seng, Cantonment

7 classes (200 pupils): CHIJ (Kellock)

Are you sure it is 7 classes for CHIJ (Kellock)? I didn't find this on the MoE web page you linked to. 7 classes would mean ~28 girls per class. There were 33-34 girls in each class for previous years, which meant there were 6 classes for P1.

Titank and Mummy of 2, thanks for your reply. I have called the school bus auntie who told me the bus comes at 6.45am, which seem not too bad.

Yes, they do have higher Chinese (http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/SIS_SearchDtls.asp?strCode=5005&snm=CHIJ%20%28KELLOCK%29). Not sure when it starts, but must be in P4.

Based on this info, I would agree with your husband. Firstly, longer distance means that the school bus will arrive earlier in the morning and drop your dd off later in the afternoon. I would rather a child gets extra sleep in the morning and gets to have lunch earlier every day.

Secondly, recent P1 registration history for CHIJ (Kellock) shows that most of the places get filled in Phase 2C. I don't think the risk is worth it.
