Catholic High School

[qdqiang]

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!

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 ?

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.

math no textbook , no worry

I read that worksheets are provided for Maths. Is it then necessary to subscribe to the e-learning? The bookshop staff told us it’s compulsory.

The new sec sch shirts come with UN-detachable buttons (like the new pri sch shirts). And I bought 2 new packs of buttons from the school bookshop, just recently.. :oops:


Does Bibi & Baba still sell the old sec sch shirts without buttons ?

[qdqiang]

I believe they should. We bought the shirt without buttons from the shop in Orchard last Sat. Then exchange for the buttons-sewn-on ones today at the school.

Did the new principle appear?
