About CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)
CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) is a girls' primary school in Singapore, in the South zone.
It offers 9 CCAs.
School overview
The primary school traces its origins to the IJ Sisters’ convent school at Victoria Street in 1854. Classes began at Toa Payoh in 1984, and the primary school returned after PRIME rebuilding in January 2006 and further upgrading in 2014. These moves matter when reading older campus accounts. A May 2026 announcement sets 1 January 2027 for the name Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (Primary); the change is still ahead of this review.
Reading@IJ runs from Primary 1 to 6, using magazines for the younger girls and Little Red Dot from Primary 3. Silent reading takes place before 7.30am, with English books on Mondays and Tuesdays and Mother Tongue books on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Ten minutes of oral interaction is scheduled at the start of English lessons three times a week. ERRI provides a separate reader-response and inquiry programme for high-achieving learners; its extension work should be distinguished from the common reading routine.
