see SJI International website "admissions section". Says L1R5 excluding bonus points should be 12.

My son is currently in Sec 3 and was one of the few from his top SAP primary school to have opted for SJI.


My son has grown to be a caring , responsible, happy grown up teenager and a team player, one who is proud of being a Josephian !
This is in no small part attributed to the school’s excellent value added both academically and also character formation and development. There could be a mix of good, excellent and mediocre teachers in any one school but the institutionalised process and available special programs makes the key difference in a good school.

I have no regrets.

SJI Open house scheduled for 16 July Saturday

As it stands for this year, there are 2 JCs’ that take Sec 3 kids for their IP program and skip O levels, viz,

VJC and TJC.
MOE has announced that for TJC starting in 2013, it will start taking Sec 1 and no more Sec 3 just like NJC 2 years back.
For VJC, it will stop taking Sec 3 from 2013 as the 2 feeder schools, VS and Cedar Girls will retain and have IP students from Sec 1 to Sec 4 but skip O levels. Therefore VJC will purely be a JC for the 2 years’ A levels.

Question: If our kids transfer over in 2012 from Sec 2 this year to VJC, what would be the quality of the teachers , who are curently teaching the IP in Sec 3 and Sec 4, and education in VJC, who eventually will be transferred out since VJC will no longer cover Sec 3 to Sec 4 come 2013. Surely there wil be a negative impact on our so called final year transferees from Sec 3 next year being final year. Seems like lost child as VJC focus will purely be on JC1 and JC 2 students henceforth.

For TJC, scenario is much better as it wil be a full fledged School taking Sec 1 to JC 2 from 2013 like NJC. Thus curriculum and teaching resources wil be strengthened consderably unlike the final year for VJC.
Less impact on our kids who wish to transfer to Sec 3 next year to the College.

Sorry did not attend TJC open house for sec 3 entrants to skip O levels.

My view is that IP will be better from Sec 1 in same school. Disruption at Sec 3, despite skipping O levels , at a brand new environment may have social and culltural negative mpact on the young kid esp when he wants to have bonding with classmates for life .

The most important age for lifelong friends is from Sec 1 to Sec 4 and to take that away from the kid to skip O levels may impact the kid’s overall well being.
My humble take on this matter. Of course, I stand corrected.

Altyhough website says IP in SJI will start in 2013, any chance of it happening in 2012 like Victoria and Cedar?

The 238 COP SJI for 2011 sec 1 is for afflilated primary schools.

See their website which states clearly that for 2011, affliliated, it remains like previous year at 238.

I am referring to non -affliliated which for 2010 intake was 241.
It has since gone up to 248 for 2011 sec 1 intake based on my friends kids parents.

Understand that SJI’s COP for 2011 sec 1 is now 248.
