Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary

[ToughLfeMummy]

St. Joseph’s (SJI) boys as they are trained to be humble, to have compassion and to be hands-on. My elder boy has become a lot more independent since he started secondary school there.


Maybe I’m biased, I always feel good whenever I’m in the school compound as I like what I see there.

1. My elder boy does not all boy's school- too rowdy
2. My elder boy does not like long distance travelling - waste time
3. My elder boy has a weak body constitution (then, of course)
4. We thought NJC no need to study Higher Chinese
5. I rather he be a big fish in a small pond
6. I was from NJC
7. I did not like the other 2 schools :rotflmao:

I like pt 4 & 6. Keke.

He's one of the few who can go RI but prefer not to.

Seriously, RI is not the only school that can produce students with good academic results.

My elder boy still can sleep by 9.30pm if he does not do leisure reading.

I sometimes take the public bus before the school reporting hours to Empress Place Market - seen enough Nanyang and HC students sleeping on the bus.

Good health = alert mind = good performance in school[/quote]Hmmm....I like what is mentioned here. Thinking should I let my dd try DSA to NJC or perhaps it is a waste of time? or just wait for PSLE result?

Agree. Together with Victoria sch, SJI has the reputation of grooming boys into fine young gentlemen. It's a fantastic sch, and not easy to get in. Mabbe E3 can also consider. Hehe.

A friend has a son in Catholic High says many of his classmates like to see the pretty girls from Whitley Sec Sch and that RGS girls are so nerdy looking.

Even my aunt makes the same comment about her own son, and blames me for choosing the school for my cousin during P6. However, I told her she will thank me 10 yrs down the road if P1 registration process stays the same! Not to offend anyone but maybe it's just that few batches. I believe all schools have students who are nerdy looking, pretty, handsome, fun and outgoing, etc.

I can't help but felt like sharing too. I have another \"factor\" that I will put in. The school that she will go to will also have a deciding factor on the boys she mixed with at the JC level and could possibly determine her future husband! Therefore, we have to consider very, very carefully. Haha. To me, very important factor cos I have only girls and when puberty and sorts kick in, woah....out of control.


There are more IP schools options now.

I told my elder boy to take his time to observe what type of girl he likes n thinks can get along well for the rest of his life. No hurry to find THE ONE.
