Catholic High School

[Ichigokun]

2Transformer:

This is my son dream school. I just want to know whether a student must be catholic to be eligible to enrol for Catholic High School? We are not catholic but merely buddhist. His class teacher posed this question to my son. That's why I need confirmation/feedback from the parents/students in CHS.

I'm Buddhist as well, you don't have to be a Catholic to be enrolled.

Thank you, Dreamgear…reddiechan…and Ichigokun.


Thank you for your advise and really appreciate it.

2Transformer: BTW, I thought the choice of word you decided to describe ‘mere Buddhist’ was rather self - derogatory. It’s your religion and identity. There’s nothing to put anyone higher up in any pedestal by being Catholic, or Christian, or any other. I’m a free - thinker, and I respect every other religion as they are.

well, some see Buddhism as a philosophy, a way of life and not a religion.

Don't think 2Transformer looks down on her own religion.. As she may have thot that all boys at CHS are Christians, she just humbly states that her family (including her DS) are Buddhists..

2Transformer.. Your DS is in P6 this year? He plans to join CHSS next year? All The Best to his PSLE results !!

Thank you for your understanding, firefly38. FYI, my son is in P5 this year. Less than one year to go...PSLE 2014.

The maths teacher is HOD the-one-who-cannot-be-named, and the-one-who-plays-candy-crush, who is a lady. Generally I feel male teachers are more forgiving towards boys.

Sorry if my response is untimely, i think i knw the Maths teacher u are referring to. She is actually a really good & dedicated teacher, not to mention effective. She has just retired, which is really a shame. My ds & many of his classmates hv alot of respect for her.
