Principals change every 5 / 6 years.


I made a visit to the shortlisted schools and spoke with the school admin. Its quite helpful in making my decision…

Another question, if we were to rent a place near the school, how long do we need to live in that rented unit? Before and after registration. Any idea anyone?

Is St anthony conossian prmary just an average school? ANy parents here have their daughters in this school. ANy positive or negative things to share?

Yes, my colleague’s daughter is in chij katong, it is affiliated to chij katong secondary but not chij tpy. If i choose chij katong then next problem is that i have to go through balloting cos we live more than 1km away. Sigh

I heard some negative feedbacks about st Anthony’s conossian secondary, thats why having second thoughts and headache

Dear Parents,

Would like to hear some views from other parents please.
Next year would be my daughter’s turn for P1 registration. Im an ex IJ Toa payoh girl and would hence fall under phase 2A1 cos ive also joined alumni. This would also mean 90% of acceptance. The problem is we live in the east and travelling to toa payoh would mean about 1 hour to and fro. By school bus would take 1.5hrs to and fro.

Now our next alternative is St Anthony’s Conossian Convent which is much nearer to where we live and each day would probably take 30 mins to and fro.
We would fall under phase 2C if we decide on this school. Historical results showed that applicants within 1km have all been accepted.

Our dilemma now is st anthony’s conossian is not as good school as IJ Toa Payoh and it’s so wasted to give up a precious seat there. However, the travelling time is really bothering us.

I wonder how would other parents decide? Any other factors we should consider?
