CHIJ Family of Schools

Your gal is very \"on\". But guess you guys might have already \"influenced\" her last time that those schools are good and you want to apply... I did that for my boy and regretted it but luckily he was ok with plan B. I am not gonna tell my 2nd kid which school I am targeting next time...

I didn't tell my son which school we registered him. It was not guaranteed as we registered him under 2B. But he was not keen to know compared to my younger one.
My younger one went to IJ TP...brought her along when we registered her under 2A2. She was so excited.

Nanyang definitely not from us. We never mentioned cos we don't intend to send her there due to distance.

As for St Nic, I didn't specifically said that she will go to that sch. I asked her once which sch she would like to go. CHIJ OLGS (Serangoon garden) or CHIJ St Nic. She chose St Nic and since then she has been talking about that sch.

This day the kids know their preference.. my girl is only 4 yrs old and she is the type she knows what she wants.

This I agree with you...kids now know what they want...esp GIRLS.
My son is still very much the bochap kind, can be frustrating sometimes. Dealing with my son and daughter requires lots of patience and skill
When my gal was in K2, she asked me which school she will be attending...bcos her friends were 'feeding' her with info.

When my daughter was in K2 and near registration, it seems the only topic in their minds were which schools they were going to attend.
My daughter told her classmates excitedly she will be attending same school as mummy. My son couldn't be bothered which school he would be attending...even when we brought him to buy uniforms and books.

They rejected you probably because you are a Catholic and there are many Catholic sch around your area that you can send your girls to. And, you are already in 2B for Catholic sch and it is same phrase as PV. They give the chance to those who do not have priorty.
