Hi all,


Does anyone has the direct email addresses to the pastor or principal of SJCK? Need to email something personal to either them.

Thanks in advance

Cheers.

Looking if anyone is living near the balestier area as i’m looking to see if i can have my son join any available car pool as non of the buses from SJCK would come over to our place to pick him up…my son is on the 1130pm session for Pre Nursery…

I can car pool your child, as I will be in Boon Keng area before sending my child to SJCK. Is your child from Harding or Leedon?

Hi parents, my child recently received a spot for next year’s nursery slot at Harding Road . I was wondering whether I could get some feedback on their Chinese curriculum. Also, my child has mild speech delay and I’m not sure whether the teachers would be receptive. He is currently attending another pre-school at the moment.

HI hi...

Congratulations ! This is good news as SJCK always has a long waiting list...

The school did face some challenges regarding their Chinese curriculum before... But i understand that the school has recruited a group of China teachers, all of them qualified with pre school certifications, to improve the Chinese curriculum of the school. I heard that they have been very active and enthusiastic in designing the materials and teaching modules..

Personal experience, no doubt my kids were not very fluent in their Mandarin, but they never had any problems in their P1 Chinese (at nyps).. So i am not overly concerned...

1 of the reasons i sent 3 of my children there is the teachers. They are very dedicated, and all of them regards the children by their names. I am very sure your kid will be well loved by his/her teachers.

Perhaps i can suggest, you highlight this to the principal Ms Jacqueline Chung before school starts so she and the staff can pay extra attention on the progress of your child....

Wishing you a beautiful journey in SJCK..

:congrats:

I also received this offer for my child to study at SJCK Harding for 2014. Likewise, I am thinking whether to move my child out of her current church kindy and put her into SJCK.

It is assuring to know that teachers have a genuine love for the child. Can any other parents share their feedback on teachers? Do the teachers give a progress card to update parents on what is happening in school and what they have taught in the previous week/month/term?

Are there any Filipino teachers teaching in the school? Is the school principal experienced? How about the turnover rate of teachers in the school?

Also, are there a lot of additional fees involved besides the supplementary fee and book fee that we are required to pay upfront?

Much thanks for any advice you can offer!

Headache! should i trsf my kid for 2014? My kid is settled now at her sch and now got vacancy at st james. Hubby did not like the idea of transfer cos we saw many of her friends transfer and did not like the new sch and ask for transfer back to realise it’s also full… Is St james really that worth it that no other school can match?
