Hi I am looking for 1 way transport back from school in the afternoon to Farrer Park/Serangoon area, any available car pool or transport?

Hi Parents, i’m new to this forum so pardon my ignorance if i have asked any silly questions.


My husband is interested to enrol our sons i to Catholic High Primary. But we dont live in Bishan nor a alumni of CHP.

Any advice on the chances of getting in Phase 2c? Does parent volunteering helps?

You basically have no chance at all if you don’t live within 1km.

Nowadays, for CHS, Phase 2B & Phase 2C both need balloting for those within 1 km.

If you become a Parent Volunteer, but don't live within 1 km, you will not even be called for the balloting, even if you put in the required no. of hours of volunteer work.

Query for current 2016 P1 parents:

Has the school revise the way they teach chinese: Revise to 先认字后拼英 OR retain the hanyu pinyin then learn chinese characters?

MOE's new syllabus includes both 认字 concurrent with the learning of HYPY now.

Hi,


A bit of background. My son only just recently settled into CHSP. (he was mostly on leave of absence before that) He was never around in SG much before this year so we have no previous experience with CCA. I noticed that my friend’s kids in Ai Tong have a very free and easy CCA system. Just join something and have fun!

OTOH, when I tried to choose a CCA for my son, I was told they will need to do screening etc! I was like… "huh?" LOL
Are they truly only picking those with particular talent or experience in specific CCAs? So you can’t join a CCA at a recreational level anymore?

Thank you!

Yeah, in CHS, they are identified for CCAs - just let your son go for the screening! No harm! I heard for example for scounts, they let them join for a few trial sessions and are selected after that , bc the demand is higher than the spaces they have. So some parents just let their boys go for some fun for the 1st few trial sessions.

Is CCA complusory for the children? Can we choose not to have any CCA?
