Kids will learn bad things anywhere, even in top schools.


We cannot prevent, it’s only a matter of time. All we can do is to teach them what is right and wrong, and always maintain communication with the kids.

So far, I think there are more pros than cons with regards to using student care centres. Still better than getting a maid to watch your kid do nothing productive. Centres are good for typically lazy kids who would otherwise end up staying home watching TV and playing computer games after doing homework.

Better for kids to get some daily revision done, interact with kids his age and develop some good friendships. Majority of the kids there are good kids lah.

My cousin took her son out from external student care because her boy picked up the wrong habits and discipline was lacking in student care. Eventually, she packed her son to the grandparents’ place instead with a timetable and external tuition for her child. That’s why it’s important to get inhouse student care in Pri sch if possible. For external student care, check on how they handle discipline issues with children. Parents can observe how the children behave during parents pick up time like late 5 plus to 6 plus in evening. Your observation will be the best verdict if that particular student care is suitable for you to place your child in it.

Thank you very much for your comments. Yeah, i also agree that parents influence is important. hmmm based on the comments it seems that IJ toa payoh is not bad though it is a big school. Hope my girl can get good teachers as teachers are very important. Unfortunately, there is not much co-ed school around toa payoh if not can consider co-ed school for her.

You can check with existing parents' network for Red Swastika -> http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=4375&start=1760 on more information about the school.

Hi any parents can share your experiences with CHIJ Toa Payoh and CHIJ Lady of Good Counsel. I am confused with these two options. Though Toa Payoh is nearer (within 1 KM) than the other, i find the Good Counsel (more thank 2 KM) small and conducive. What are your views.

Before we direct you anywhere, do you belong to Phase 2B or Phase 2C?

If Phase 2B, you can try CHIJ TP coz within 1km is quite safe. If Phase 2C, may need to ballot even within 1km.

For CHIJ OLGC, you are guaranteed at Phase 2B and Phase 2C so far if you are a citizen.

Standards-wise on average, CHIJ TP is the stronger one. But CHIJ OLGC also produces good students scoring 260 - 270. An ex-IJ TP teacher I know chose to send her daughter to OLGC coz she felt the gals at OLGC were better behaved. You decide.
