CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace

xris, I agree which is why am postponing it until June…

I recently sent an email to an administrative officer of CHIJ-OLQP. Before doing that I made sure I got the name and email right. I even asked my daughter how this officer is to be addressed.


So I wrote my brief email asking for clarification on a certain letter my daughter brought home. —"Dear Mrs. _____," and ended the email with my name.

I got a bit disappointed when the reply I got started with "Dear Parent,"…

I found the reply lacking in courtesy, to think it came from a school official. Doesn’t letter-writing etiquette taught in the olden days apply anymore?

What do you think?

maximo,


i do agree that we expect more from school officials… in the same way our kids epxect so much from us… sometimes we slip but it does not mean we dont have their best intentions at heart…

if this becomes a pattern, then I would be concerned… but if it happens once or twice… then i guess we just have to forgive… perhaps the school officials are busy (i know … not an excuse to forget etiquettes)…

did you provide feedback to them directly?

Any parent whose gal is in P1 this year?

any feedback for this school from the start of year till now?
read from the forum since like the school have feedbacks like under-rated or fierce teacher…
Hope to hear some good advise from all of u all…

[zarahsmom]

py85, so far my dd have not encountered a fierce teacher at chij olqp yet… also she is my first child so I cannot say whether the school is better than any other school… I love a few things about the school… and dislike a few other things… but cannot complain much, its the nearest school for us and I know that P1 is a year of transition/adjustments for the kids… specially during the first term…

Dear all,


Any of your gal need to go to another class for their Mother Tongue lesson? My gal has to go to 1J for her mother tongue lesson everyday. She feedback that the mother tongue teacher end the lesson late and she got punished by the teacher of her next lesson for coming back to the class late. So, she told me that she don’t like to change class and the bag is heavy for her to carry along.

xris,


my gal is in 1F and she have to join the 1L class… since she have to attend the bridging modules instead of the enrichment modules… perhaps your gal is attending either bridging or enrichment modules with 1J…better call their FT or MT teacher…

dd also complain about being made to join another class…which apparently will be the case until the end of the year, unless she shows marked improvement in Chinese…

how is your gal’s Chinese?

Hi Zarahsmom,


She is in the core group for mother tongue according to the letter. I feel so sad for them as they need to carry the whole bag with them and climbing and going down the stairs daily.

I thought the VP mentions that they can just bring their mother tongue book with them if they are going to another class for MT lesson during the parent talk on the first day of sch.

that is what I thought too.. does your gal have a smaller bag for her MT books? for my gal I put her MT books and notebook in a smaller bag/plastic envelope with zipper.. so she can just carry it along with her lunch bag...

Hi,


During the first lesson, I wanted to give her a small bag for MT lesson but when I was packing her bag for her so she ask me what is that bag for, so I told her is for her MT lesson. Than, she told me don’t need extra bag coz have to bring the whole bag to 1J. According to her, another classmate will be sitting at her place during MT lesson. She also doesn’t like it coz her friend messed up her place. So hard to please!!
