Sorry to interrupt this thread!


I was actively pursuing this thread when I was in the process of apply for my son to get into SJIJ during the P1 registration in 2010. Now he is already in P2. How time flies.

Can someone kindly refer me to another relevant thread which covers the topic pertaining to the top 2 classes in P3 of SJIJ?

Thank you so much!!

Can i know why you need such thread topic?

hi

I dont think there is any thread on the top classes in P3 of SJIJ. The school does not openly ranked the boys or the classes.

Curious to know which are the top 2 classes in SJIJ but I found out that the classes differ each year.

Met up with my DS's form teacher and they do rank all the boys. I was shown his position in class and his overall position for whole P2 standard. With the latter, he told me what the chances are for my DS to be top 2 classes in P3 .

Arghh! And everyone tells me to let my DS relax in P1 and P2. Apparently not. P2 results eventually determines if our boys are good enough to go to the top 2 classes in P3. I happen to think if our DS can do well, I would like him to be in the top 2 classes. Now I have to ensure he studies hard for the next half year to catch up!

I am not sure if the system has changed but in the past, the top boys are not grouped into a form class but just that for EMS they come together for lessons. What they call the JTP classes.

From P5 onwards, the boys are grouped into Patrick and Joseph classes and these are the JTP classes (25 per class only) and they stay together for all lessons with the exception of Chinese as some take normal chinese and some take higher chinese.

Pardon me but what is EMS and JTP?

EMS = English, Maths Science
JTP = Josephian Talent Program

Hi gingerbread man

there is still a chance for boys going to top 2 classes after p3 as the jtp program starts at p4. Even if the boys did not get into the jtp classes, there is a high ability class.

Hmm, you may start one if there isn't.

Hi

My son will be starting P1 in 2013, and I am wondering if there is any after school care centre in or near SJIJ?

Can anyone advise? Thanks!

Hi,


Does the P2 requires to stay back in school? Eg. additional class, CCA?
What is the school hours?
Does the school bus sent the boys back if they need to stay back in school? Eg. CCA bus?
Anyone knows the rate of the school bus one-way to Carnhill, one-way to Hougang?

Many thanks!

Hi momresource

For P2, they are not required to stay back after school. School starts 7.30 to 1.00pm. The school bus does nto send boys boys if they need to stay back. As for the bus rate, you will need to call the bus operator.
