Hi, we are currently overseas and have appointed a proxy to register at the posted Sec school tomorrow. How do we know if the application of the 3rd language has been successful?

The result of the 3rd language application will be released during school registration tomorrow.

Very impressive !

Here, this was extracted from MOE site …


Foreign Language Programmes

Pupils who are ranked among the top 10% of the PSLE cohort and who have a special ability in languages are eligible to apply to study a foreign language (i.e. French/ German/ Japanese/ Spanish) from S1.

Eligible top 10% pupils can apply for French/ German/ Japanese online upon the release of their PSLE results. Pupils opting for Japanese Language are required to have passed Higher Chinese/ Chinese at the PSLE as the standard written form of Japanese uses Kanji (Chinese characters). In the event that the number of applicants exceeds the number of vacancies, selection will be based on their PSLE results. To be eligible for the Foreign Language Programme, the applicant OR his father OR his mother must be a Singapore Citizen or Singapore Permanent Resident.

If selected, pupils will attend Foreign Language (French/German/Japanese/ Spanish) classes at the MOELC Bishan or MOELC Newton (120kb .pdf). The four hours of instruction are divided into two portions—a 3-hour-15 minutes once-weekly session on campus, followed by 45 minutes of online instruction to be done from home. Foreign languages are taught at:

Tentatively between 24 November 2017 and 27 November 2017.

[quote=\"Charcheah\"]Hi, I would like to seek opinion on IP vs IB,

Gotten both CO fm SJI and CHS, thinking what advice should I give my DS on these 2 different programs, many thanks in advance .

Hi Charcheah,

You may need to take other factors into consideration too eg Catholic High School strong focuses on bilingualism, special programs of both schools, how both schools nurture their students through their special programs, CCAs offered by both schools, home-school distance, strength and weakness of your child.

Do discuss all these aspects with your child before making decision.

Perhaps, do some background homework inquiry into EOY (End-of-year) Sec 2 & Sec 4 Promotion criteria, find out the diffference between (SJI IB and Catholic High IP), ask your son which school environment or promotion criteria he is more comfortable with attaining, since he is the one going to study, for the next 6 years ahead ?

CHS (IP SAP) study Higher Chinese.

Currently in his primary school, is he taking Higher Chinese at P6 ?

Thanks for the note , yes he is currently taking High Chinese at P6.
