I totally agree with adamtoh97. SJI is a good school that nurtures the young boy into a responsible man who is eager to serve the society and the world. It’s because of the way the teachers teach the boys to be caring and compassionate. The strong brotherhood is evident everywhere in the school. I also have an introvert son who joined the school this year. He is now a lot more sociable than before and he enjoys every minute of his school, mingling with his friends and sharing ideas. It’s no surprise that they win the Character Building award year after year as they truly deserve it.
The camps and the training each boy goes through will help to build their leadership skill as they are totally planned for and run by the older boys under their teachers’ supervision. Even if they fail, it’s okay and they try again until they do it well. I’m proud to be a Josephian’s mum.

RE: Bukit Timah Primary
I’m contemplating putting my child in BTPS. Is it a good school? How’s the discipline of the students there? Are there many bullies in the school? How does the school handle such cases?

St. Joseph’s (SJI) boys as they are trained to be humble, to have compassion and to be hands-on. My elder boy has become a lot more independent since he started secondary school there.
Maybe I’m biased, I always feel good whenever I’m in the school compound as I like what I see there. -
RE: Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary
Hi,
Does anyone have a child in P2 this year (2013)? How do you find the speed of teaching Chinese this year? My child’s teacher has completed Lesson 9 before the Term 1 ended and I find tough to keep up with this. I don’t understand why there is a need to rush through all the lessons and complete 9 chapters when there are only 22 chapters for the entire year.
Any comments? -

Which CCA is your DS keen to take up?

Yes, the badge can be bought at the book shop for $1.50. My boy broke his too, within hours of the closing ceremony during parents’ orientation. He was forewarned by the PSL that it was ‘fragile’.
I’m also keen to know how the selection criteria for the CCA is done. Could anyone of the older boys’ parents please enlighten? Thank you. -
RE: St. Joseph's Institution
This is the first time I attended parents’ orientation in a secondary school but I must say SJI has done a great job in organizing the orientation camp. The bonding amongst the boys (S1 or S3) is so strong that anyone would feel a great sense of belonging. My boy is an introvert but he thoroughly enjoyed the camp and made some new friends which surprises me. I’m confident that our boys will have an enriching and fulfilling time at SJI during their stay.

Does anyone know which classes are IP and which are O level? There are a total of 12 classes and my guess is 5 are IP but which are they?

RE: St. Joseph's Institution
Wow! I’m so happy that all our DS will be starting an interesting learning journey with SJI. From the briefing on 20th Dec and the interactions with the teachers and students there, I’m sure our boys will enjoy their stay with the school and become a true Josephian - Men of Integrity and Men for Others.
I’m so excited!!! -

SJI has always been my dream school for my DS due to the strong focus on character-building and training the boys to be a real gentleman who serves the society. I also saw how close the boys were during the Open Day and after talking to the teachers, I really think this is the perfect one for my DS. Unfortunately, my DS did not make it for their DSA for their IP track but we will not give up. We will wait for PSLE results and try again. The higher fees will not deter us from trying to get my DS into SJI, not even the longer distance when they temporarily move to Bishan in 2014.
Thank God that my DS can try for SJI with his PSLE result. We are so happy for him.
