Hi, my niece also got into KC and I am very happy for her....


Can any mummy share their experience when DD was in P1? Is it necessary to go for P1 prep-class? I heard some of the sch, their teacher go through the lesson as if the children already know. Pretty much like a revision.

Is it the case in KC?

My DD is currently in P6 of IJ Katong. I think she has thoroughly enjoyed herself there.
She went to P1 without undergoing any P1 prep course although I have been advised to send her to 1. I am a firm believer of allowing the school a chance to teach and giving the child a chance to learn from her school teacher.
6 years on, I do not think she has been disadvantaged. She is on par with other P6s who may also have gone for the course.
IJ Katong takes in students with learning disabilities therefore I do believe the school will cater to students from all abilities.
So do not worry and allow her to enjoy her school life there.

We're staying at Pasir Ris, my daughter is starting next year and yes... we're horrible for making her travel that far to go to school.

Don't understand your question really...

On another note, any parents received any letters from the school to purchase books/ uniforms/ arrange for transport yet? Or is everything going to be done on orientation day?


Heard from a couple of friends who are sending their kids to other schools that some schools have that sort of arrangement that they can go down on weekdays to sort those stuff out. Beats rushing with the crowd on 17 November I guess.

Thanks for your reply!! I am currently in marine parade and will be registering my dd for 2014 P1. As I will be moving to Simei in the second half of 2014, I am worried that she would have travel to school so far.

How long does the commute take for her?

Haha! I'm of no help there at the moment, sorry. We're guessing by car it should take about 20 minutes. By bus... we wouldn't know till next year.

Hopefully some other parents who have daughters already doing the commute would be able to help you there.

I am wondering too. When my son was due for P1, his school uploaded the booklist, uniform supplier and name tag order forms on their webpage for us to do preparation works.

My soon-to-be P1 girl was formerly from MMI Katong before I switched her over to St Hilda’s Kindergarten.

The Principal is nice, the school is clean and love the teachers n place. They’ve expanded.

I received the letter, my girl will be in Jonquil 1 or known as JO1.

Pls share where your DDs are assigned. Thanks!
