mejj:My boy is in 1 Patrick. shd be enjoying himself... so much that i get love letters from tr saying he plays too much! hahahahaHi mtdt,
There are a handful operators currently operating in schools' scc. YMCA, Pro-Teach? But am sure the Principle will do it right.
So far, my boy's is enjoying his time in SJI 1 Luke. How about your DS?
mejj:my boy came back with a survey for student care service. sure hope they can finalise the setting up of the SCC within the school real soon.
esmummy:So far homework are minimal. For kids that dont read fluently, there is extra reading time during recess time at the library. Everyday it's from 720am-130pm.Hi. My son will be entering SJIJ next year. So happy! Would like to meet other mums whose sons will be in P1 next year too :).
I hear the school is quite relaxed academically, which is a huge relief for me. Also, I'm not sure if my son is slow as he still has trouble with his English reading :(... Are the boys expected to be proficient readers when they start P1?
Also, just to check: school starts at 7.20am and ends at 1.30pm everyday? No early end days?
Thanks in advance!
alvinsgp:I wonder if there is a checklist of things I need to prepare for 1st day of schl?
alvinsgp:Got the letter. Orientation is in November. It says start at 9am. Any idea when will it end? Does parents need to attend the orientation?
WELCOME to SJIJ My kid is P1 this year.
Can only answer some of ur qns:
alvinsgp:I just got a place in SJI Junior. I have a few question around logistic for school.
1. How much is the school bus fare from SJI (houses within 2km) - I pays $70 for one way to Toa Payoh Central
2. Does the school bus picks the kid up after ECA? - I understand from older kids parents that they do have such service at a per trip charge
3. How much are the fees that we need to pay every month? I think it's $6 per mth? It goes thru Giro thus din bother
4. For P1, there is no ECAs right? There are no ECAs
5. When is the orientation day? Last year it was in Nov
6. When do we need to formally submit all the forms and documents the child for school? During Orientation
