Dear all, I am facing a situation where my son has suddenly said he doesn't want to go to the school that we have chosen for him because of negative experiences with older kids from the primary school, e.g. the older kids taunting and chasing him.

He has told me that he is keen on SJIJ and that he likes to go to church so he wants to go to a church affiliated school. However, although we are eligible for 2B, we will still need to ballot. Also, we do not know anything about SJIJ other than it's a Catholic school and it's a popular school.

My son has some challenges in coping with daily events. He is a good and kind boy and his literacy and numeracy skills are fine, but he is easily distracted and rather hyper and loud at times. His current kindy teachers have not advised us to go for a diagnosis, but we think that he may need an AED's help in future. Hence, we do have some worries about applying for a school that may be taking in students with high focus and strong academic abilities.

Would any parent be able to share with me about SJIJ's pastoral care and AED services for the students, especially those with difficulty focusing or emotional challenges? Are the teachers and other students accepting of those who are different?

i'm not sure about SJIJ, but i kno the ACS schools are very supportive of kids like your son

Maybe u can try maris stella .. catholic sch too heard the aed support is good.

hi everyone,


Just to check on the feedback on the school. was wondering to send him to this school. TIA! :rahrah:

Dear Parents of yishun,


Need to bring up a school in yishun Beware
I have decided to pull my child out of this cc due to that we want to send him nearer to my husband workplace. The CC did not understand the point and decided not to refund us our deposit money despite the contract stated that we will get a 50% deposit back.

They mention their term and condition changed and it is only 2month plus back i have signed the contract. Because they just do not want to return the deposit, i have consulted 2 lawyers to bring this up to court - sound abit stupid but they REFUSED to replied any of my sms despite me showing them the contract again and again with his signature.

I have also brought this issue up to ECDA and MP. Hopefully we could warn more parents in yishun areas. This cc is one and only in singapore hence it seem like they are new in running business.

Pm me if you want to see the original contract image (proof).
