ya that is what i know too...


but they are saying have many fund raising...

if school need to enhance something, will get parents to asist in fund- raising.

Fund-raising has been mostly voluntary over the last 4 years since my daughter started P1. We have never felt compelled to contribute a specific amount.

The school has been creative at times by selling tickets to shows where the girls performed. Of course as parents we didn't mind paying for the shows. Not only did we get to see our daughter perform, we also helped the school in their fund-raising efforts.

Agreed. In fact, I have not donated a single cent to the school since my girl studied there. Whereas my boys' sch, a neighbourhood sch was so aggressive in asking parents for donation and despite that they make the students do all the selling of tickets setting a target that they have to sell off a certain number of tickets else the parents have to pay for that amount which really put me off.

tomorrow is Nov 3 Orientation for P1 - 2013 at OQLP


fellow parents, see you there…

[zarahsmom]

how was your experience last saturday?


mine was quiet pleasant, met a couple (parents of my dd’s classmate at BPMC kindergarten)… they were very gracious and even gave us a ride home…

also bought 3 sets of uniform, stationeries, books ==> almost 300 sgd all in all, including the 35sgd orientation fee…

dd is also relieved to know what there is at least 1 familiar face in her class (current classmate at BPMC)…

some of my pinoy friends also told me that it is \"more expensive\" in CHIJ.. but really I do not know what to say..


I searched via MOE..

http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/2012/06/adjustments-in-school-fees-2013.php

Free for SCs
90 sgd per month for PRs
350 sgd per month for IS

confirmed that the school fee for CHIJ is the same as other public shools..

PRs will have to pay 90 sgd per month (last year PRs pay only 40 sgd per month). still free for SCs
