CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent

What CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent does

CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent is a Singapore government-aided Catholic girls' secondary school located at 160 Lower Delta Road, Singapore, and part of the Infant Jesus (IJ) schools network founded by Father Barre in 1933. Operating under the Ministry of Education (MOE) with additional governance from the IJ Board of Management and the Archdiocesan Commission for Catholic Schools (ACCS), the school delivers Singapore's standard Sec 1 to Sec 5 academic curriculum alongside distinctive programmes including the Learning for Life Programme (LLP) focused on Sports and Hockey, the Applied Learning Programme (ALP), the Theresian Sports Leaders Programme, and Exercise and Sports Science as an examinable subject.

Its core product surface consists of secondary education services augmented by an extensive Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) portfolio spanning sports (Hockey, Netball, Floorball, Softball, Track & Field, Bowling, Tennis), performing arts (Choir, Angklung, Concert Band, English Drama, Dance and Movement, Guitar), uniform groups (Girl Guides, NPCC), and clubs (IJYM, Infocomm Technology, Entrepreneurship, Debating). Technology is consumed rather than developed: the official website is built on Singapore's government Isomer CMS, and digital learning is delivered via the national Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS) and the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) with 1:1 Personalised Digital Learning devices. Underlying platforms are government-mandated and standardized across all Singapore schools.

The school is non-commercial and publicly funded. Fees are set and heavily subsidized by MOE, with a Financial Assistance Scheme for households earning below S$4,000/month. Admissions flow through MOE's centralized Sec 1 posting exercise and the Direct School Admission (DSA-SEC) talent-based pathway. Distribution relies on the school website, Instagram (@chijstc.sg), the MOE Parents Gateway app, an annual Open House, and Sec 1 Info Night. Ancillary ecosystems include a three-sub-committee Parent Support Group (PSG) and the Theresian Alumni network (founded 1993), which together support community engagement, fundraising, and lifelong community ties. Brand reputation centers on 57 years of hockey heritage, 19 B Division National Championships between 1974 and 1998, and consecutive SYF Certificate of Distinction awards for English Drama in 2019, 2021, and 2023.
