My son got into Catholic high too. Selected O level despite his score able to get in IP.

Hi RDPD..

May I ask why your boy prefers CHS O Level to CHS IP ?

Haha…same…my boy prefers O level too although we can go for IP. Personally I felt O level circumlum is more sstructured and proVen. Moreover, if the child performs well, they can switch to IP at Sec 2

The window for track transfer is at sec 3, right?

Anyway its not uncommon to choose o level track over ip... 2 years ago, the top psle scorer was from the o level track as well...

Yaya…sec 3 not sec 2.

There are 4 fiction books for Sec 1 English. Can anyone advise whether these are solely for reading or the boys will be tested on them? Just wondering if there’s a need to buy all cos my elder child in another school did not use the Chinese literature books at all. Thanks in advance!

Can I ask if there is textbook for Math Sec 1? I saw in booklist something about Elearning but I see no math bk in the bag that I bought. And I am short of a book \"Boy\" as it is not in the prepack bag. Do you have it in the prepack bag? If yes, then ours is missing and I need to make another trip down.

Hi, my boy has outgrown and I have 3 bermudas of waist 30. Only wear for 1 year. Still in good condition. Anyone keen to take over, please PM me.


Thanks!

The main reason is ''choice''. With IP, a student can only opt to go to JC. I want to give my son the freedom to choose as the years goes by. Armed with an O level cert. He can choose to go to any JC (if he score well) or even poly. Some career option is better to have a poly education before entering University study......I don't want my son to be restricted to a single option in 4 years time. With O level track, he can still move to IP in sec 3 if he really want IP so much.....of course he must work hard to get it again.....so again...freedom of choice is the main reason...IP is like an advance ticket to JC but I don't think we need that..all it takes is for him to perform well in his secondary education....IP may sound very ''atas''...but weighing the pros and cons...we still opted for O level.
