CHIJ Family of Schools
-
Hi spooky, i have answered your pm.
-
Hi, is CHIJ OLGC a good school? What CCAs do they specialize in? How’s the students’ PSLE results for the past few years? I’m staying within 1-2km from the school. How’s my chances of getting my girl into the school? TIA!
-
Btw, Anyone knows whether CHIJ OLGC takes in PV? When ?
-
Yes, OLGC accepts PVs. The online form is still for babies born 2008. If your baby was born 2009, then wait till about July when they update the form.
Not much info available regarding their PSLE performance but like most schools, they do produce a few girls who can score >260 who will then proceed to RGS or CHIJ St Nicholas / CHIJ TP, just not as many high scorers as the top tier schools like RGPS.
If you do get into Phase 2B (via PV), your chances are very good. Citizens did not have to ballot last year for Phase 2B and Phase 2C. They held balloting for PRs at Phase 2C. -
Cherrygal, thanks so much for your reply! Mine is 2009 baby, will keep a lookout for the PV updates. I’m still undecided between PLMGS or CHIJ OLGC ( both within 1-2km) though… Understand the former is more competitive (assuming I do PV for the school I’ve ultimately chosen)… Not sure whether to take chances…

If you refer to phtthp's analysis of girls' schools in this link:
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=487&start=1570
PLMGS' performance is on par or slightly better than CHIJ Toa Payoh. CHIJ OLGC's performance is not available but I believe it is somewhere around CHIJ OLN's standard. So yes, PLMGS will be more sought after than OLGC. But if you do get to PV for PLMGS, then go for it. -
Anyone would like to share enrolling in CHIJ Toa Payoh vs Nativity?
I’m an old gal of CHIJ Toa Payoh and lives in Hougang area, so my first thought was definitely IJ Toa Payoh under 2A. However, my boy attends Maris Stella which is nearer to home than Toa Payoh, and I see the poor chap getting up at 5:45a.m. becoz the school bus takes 1hr+ so I hate to subject my poor gal to the same. I was also considering the secondary school affiliation later on, which attending IJ Nativity would not have. What would you do? -
Mum2jj,
If I were you, and worry about the distance etc, I would just move house rather than throw away a good school option. If you moved to Braddell area, it would be near Maris Stella and CHIJ TP.
It is more problematic to stay in hougang, make your son wake up so early and make your daughter go to a less popular school when you can easily put her in a better school.
You can solve both problems with just one move. Unless there are issues you didn’t mention, moving is the easiest solution.
But if for some reason you cannot move house now, then just bear with the distance or ferry them to school in the mornings. I would rather do that than sacrifice Phase 2A2 entry into CHIJ TP. You can move house later if necessary. -
Yes Cherrygal, somehow i can’t find much info about CHIJ OLGC online. Yesterday, I had a talk with my neighbour whose girl is currently in that school and she shared with me that the school is quite academically focused and the girls have compulsory swimming lessons (not really an issue but just sharing here). Their classes are streamed based on math results. but she did share that I can try other schools like rosyth and PLMGS too. Btw, rosyth is within 1-2km from my home too but I dare not dream of it cos I think within 1km also must ballot… Stressed.

PrincessKaris,
Just apply PV at PLMGS and OLGC. See which one you will get selected. Then work on it from there. If you can’t get to PV at either school, it will be harder to get into PLMGS at Phase 2C so you might then want to just apply at OLGC coz it is so much safer for citizens at your distance category.
Forget Rosyth if you are not within 1km. They have also stopped taking in PVs.
All the schools are academically focused nowadays. Both OLGC and PLMGS are relatively good Christian schools that develop strong values in the girls.
