Christ Church Secondary School

[PSLE2010]

The school is quite strict in pupils’ conduct. Hwr, their teachers are always away. My girl has 2-3 relief teacher just for History. As for Chinese, the teacher didn’t even finish the text book and activity book.

Hence, I have to spend a lot of time/money to ensure my girl is reaching national standard. Positive side is she is in the best class. .So the pupils are quite well behaved. Some teachers are v responsive, they will pass you their HP# for you to ctc them As for school activity, there is alot ad-hoc. But the problem is if the child didn’t do well in PSLE, there will be limited choices. You need to set your preference.

Hi, how is this sch like? Are teachers strict or good at teaching? Thinking of going there… quite impressed with the school’s facilities.

My relative’s child is in this school. I happen to compare the daily school hours. Fyi, this school set Friday as CCA day, ie, whole school has their CCA on Fri. Hence the lost of academic time on Friday are being make up on Mon to Thurs, therefore their school hours from Mon to Thursday end rather late at 3pm+.

Hi… any parent with child in Chr? My son just got in this yr, barely first week and he is really exhausted out. Sched packed with Chingay preps till 11 Feb. After that, he can take a breather. I have to push forward his tuition and piano lessons till chingay is over. Don’t want to over-exert him.

An update. Chingay is just over and my son is already missing it. Whoever's idea it is to have the sec 1s join Chingay, it seems like a brilliant idea to get the newbies to bond together this way. Furthermore, with their 4+1 sch system (mon-thu studies, fri cca day), they really made use of the time for chingay instead of cca. Good for them students to mull over which cca to choose from. At least his Saturdays are free since cca is on fri. Happy child, happy mom.

Hi,


My kiddo’s T-score can qualify for Evergreen (225)/ Mayflower (220) but we are very tempted to choose Christ Church (200). We visited the school 2 times and observed the following: mission school, affiliated to JC, very near to future MRT, great campus with facilities normally associated with branded schools, super friendly staff, everything in the school seem super neat & tidy all the way down to how they arrange their flower pots!

However there is the MAIN concern of a lack of academic challenge from classmates who would mostly score well below kiddo’s T-score (which is already not high to begin with). My questions:

1) Can anybody share if they sort their students base on psle result for Sec 1 classes (in which case kiddo may be in the best class)?
2) Will they stick to the same class for both Sec 1 & 2 or will there be sorting at the end of Sec 1?

I missed asking these 2 questions during their open house and their teaching staff seem to be on leave now.

Also, is there anything else you can share about this school?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Not so sure abt the sorting outs, so can’t help u on the 2 qns, but my son sure is happy there. And yes, the location is a plus. Everything is just within reach. And their PSG is quite good. Super on. Most sec 1 parents who partake in Chingay will somehow be included in a parents’ grpchat. Good to be able to interact and share abt the going-ons in the sch without having to always ask my son. And the teachers are approachable.
