About CHIJ Our Lady of the Nativity

CHIJ Our Lady of the Nativity is a girls' primary school in Singapore, in the South zone.

It offers 9 CCAs.

School overview

The first Primary 1 class began in January 1957 at Holy Innocents’ Chinese Girls’ School, before the CHIJ Ponggol building was ready. That class grew into three during the year. The school later occupied a building vacated by Holy Innocents’ Girls’ School in 1988, then moved to the former Montfort site on Upper Serangoon Road in December 2000. Its present name dates from January 2001. A classroom annex and indoor sports hall were completed in 2019. These milestones distinguish its own history from the wider IJ network’s beginnings.

LEAP—Learn, Engage, Articulate and Perform—is the school’s oracy ALP. It develops the ability to explain and justify a response, adjust language to the audience, participate respectfully and keep listeners interested. The school describes platforms from classroom and stage presentations to video messages by student leaders and ambassadors advocating causes. These show the kinds of communication pupils practise across the six-year progression. A leadership video is one platform within the programme, rather than a role automatically held by every girl.
