Hi SJIJ mummies,

Can you advice if the school is supportive of students participating in the inter-school competitions like swimming, taekwondo, wushu, golf? I heard that some event was not supported if the kid is no chance of winning...

I can only speak for swimming. Though there are only a handful of swimmers, a teacher will arrange for the registration, T-shirt, as well as turn up at the competition venue. The teacher in charge of CCAs will respond if you write to him. Unless it is a school team on the CCAs list, expect to handle other aspects of the preparation yourself, like logistics, transport, schoolwork, team practice, attire.

ds is in P2, may I know at P3 level, which class is the ‘best’ class?

May I check…


1) Does P1 has optional CCA?
2) Usually what are the days for CCA (even for higher pri levels)

Thanks

I believe these classes change from year to year. So you'll have to wait till your boy enters P3 next year before you'll be able to find out.

1) Yes, they have optional CCA.
2) Depends. For the P1, P2 optional CCA, it'll be after school and I think the days can vary. For P3, it is within their school hours. I don't know about higher up, but assume it could be like in P3.

My son is in primary 1, and apart from the football academy they can join on Saturdays, I don’t know of any optional CCAs…

During orientation for the new P1 students, the people providing the optional CCAs/enrichment courses will be there for you to find out more and sign up. Unless it has changed, I think there would be soccer, badminton and chess. Anyway, that info should all come when they inform of the orientation.

Yes, I think it has changed. I believe the reason given at Orientation was so that the P1s and 2s would not have to stay back in school and have longer days. Perhaps its because SJIJ is at a holding school at the moment?

Would like to hear views on the JTP and how it compares to the GEP in other schools.

Class size is like GEP at 25 but other than that, it is running mainstream program, not like GEP.
