CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel

Marymount Convent has places even at Phase 2C Supp. OLGC is usually full by end of Phase 2C.


It all depends on where you are located. Both schools are Catholic convents but frankly, I will prefer CHIJ as it still has an affiliated secondary school (CHIJ St Joseph's) whereas Marymount does not.

If you turned out well, send her back to your alma mater.

Thanks for reply. As you mentioned, OLGC has an affiliated sec sch. So, I’m wondering, what happens after PSLE for Marymount Convent girls? Will they have a very difficult time getting into a mission secondary school if their PSLE results are only average? I know from reading the forum from this site that most parents are very concerned about the schools academic performance and achievements. As much as I am interested to know that, I’m more inclined to know if a school has supportive, kind and patient teachers which my child would feel comfortable with and enjoy her education. Can any other parents from OLGC enlighten me?

My daughter is still only in P2 so I’m sure there are other parents who have more years of experience at OLGC than me.


Overall I have found that the environment is very caring; it has the advantage of being a smaller school which makes it feel more friendly.

My daughter had a very gentle teacher in P1 (Mdm Woo) who never seemed to scold them for anything; she was more like an "aunty" than a teacher. Her teacher this year (Miss Tan who is known to be tough!) is the total opposite so she is going through a big shock this year but having met the infamous Miss Tan I can say that she may be strict but underneath she is still a very caring teacher with the best interests of the girls at heart.

i have been trying to find out the recent years results (PSLE) for this sch but can’t seem to get those information.


does anyone has CHIJ-OLGC past years PSLE results that breakdown in terms of percentage per category of scoreline. for example:

180points and below - 10%
180pts to 200pts - 50%
200pts to 230pts - 30%
230pts to 260pts - 5%
260pts and above - 5%

maybe i’m not looking at the right places.

TIA

All I have found is the comparison with the national average which is on the school website.

Hi. I noticed that this thread is rather quiet. I’ve successfully registered my DD in P1 next year (2013). I really hope to get to know more parents who have DDs in OLGC so that we can share ideas and experience.

Welcome! My daughter is in P2 this year.

Yes, this thread is very quiet but maybe that's a good sign that parents don't have anything to complain about!

One silly piece of advice for you - when it comes to buying uniform, please bear in mind that they usually wear their PE shirts 3 days a week instead of their normal school shirts. Don't do what I did and buy 4 normal shirts and 2 PE shirts.

Thank you For your welcome Ikiasu! Looking forward to more interaction with you.


Thank you too, nms1, for your advice with regards to their uniform. I’ll keep that in mind when I get DD her uniforms.

Anyway, I hve 2 queries, if it’s alright to ask…How does your DDs commute to school? And are the girls bog down with too much homework? Thanks again for your replies.
