CHIJ (Katong) Primary

reginalcl:
Thks for your analysis, I will prefer CHIJ more, cos it is a convent school. But will still take other schools into consideration for secondary.[/quote]Yes, certainly, it doesnt mean that u have to stick to katong convent sec for the secondary sch,Augmum:
[quote=\"aamama\"]Although its registered under Bedok, which I don't understand why, school is in Marine Parade. like what reginalcl says too many popular schools here. Tao Nan, Tanjong Katong, Ngee Ann, Haig Girls and CHIJ. The first 3 are co-eds school so I guess it's more popular. Left with Haig Girls and CHIJ, apparently I heard that its harder to get into CHIJ from friends. Not sure abt that.
Comparing CHIJ and Haig Girls, more parents would pick CHIJ becos of its affliation to Katong Convent Sec.
Juz that some parents take it kinda of an \" insurance\"...
btw, most ave IJ katong kids would continue with its sec sch...... -
Totally agree, don’t hv to go to the secondary school. As what Augmum says, I notice alot of their capable students go to another secondary school. I’m hoping my older girl would fare better. Tho’ the secondary school has its well-known reputation, the school moulds alot of journalists; newscasters; actressess.
I was an IJ girl throughout, in my time the standard has dropped a little. But there’s this saying "once an IJ girl always an IJ girl." we continue to hv a camaraderie no matter how old we are. We’d not hv the energy to scream when we’re old but may raise our walking sticks. Heehee!
Nonetheless, all the best for the coming registration. Hope to see you all in the school. -

Icic, u already passed ur stage...next year, u dont have to go thru everything n straight away got a place for her... -
Augmum : very experienced mom. You’re in a tougher phase now - bringing up a teenager. Do u wish your girl didnt grow up so fast? Means we’re old too!
Reginalcl : Its always the first kid enrollment that parents get stressed up. I’m lucky I have two girls and I chose the easier way out for my older girl. Hubby initially didn’t want to let girl go this school, citing alot of lesbians n distance n kept insisting on putting girl in our neighbourhood school here. almost fought until his colleague told him off "its a good school n I had to volunteer my service and went thru ballot to put my girl in. Ur wife has a secured place for ur girl, should go for it." I owe her big favor!! What I can say is my girl enjoys school and looks forward to school (but not exams)
