Catholic High (Primary)

[kiasu-kel]

Hi all,


I would like to check whether there’s any chance of getting in Catholic High (PRI) during Phase 2B if one stays between 1km - 2km?
Or what happens is the parents are turned away from registration because there’s balloting even for one who stays within 1km?

Thanks.

From past history, CHS only has space for SC in phase 2B.

If, by chance, there were space available for PR, those living within 1km would
be balloting for them first. So PR outside of 1km pretty much has no chance at all.

Thanks much for your kind feedback. We are hoping to schedule a session with the principal to find out more sometime next month, to see what sorta support that the sch is prepared to render before deciding whether to enroll my son

Only lessons during school curriculum time, but it cannot take the place of the catechism lessons held by your parish.

Hi may I know if SC living 1-2km would have a chance? Does SC living 1-2km have a better chance than PR within 1km? I don't mind doing parent volunteer, my son is born in 2013 does that mean I have to apply for PV next year? TIA!

More often than not, CHS only has places for SC within 1km in Phase 2B - the only exception was last year (first time in nearly 10 years) where balloting occurs between 1 to 2km for SC. It's safe to say last year was an abnormally (Tiger year, low birth rate) which won't happen again for some time and Phase 2B is likely to go back to status quo, i.e. ballot for SC within 1km.

You probably will have no chance (given home address of between 1km and 2km) and PV will likely be a waste of time. You will also face an uncertainty of balloting should application heng heng extend to 1km to 2km that year.

It would be a miracle if you even qualify to enter the balloting.

To increase your chances of getting into CHS, the only way for you is to move to within 1 km.
If you can get into PV, then at least phase 2B you have a chance for balloting.
And if phase 2B you didn't get, at least you can still be in phase 2C for balloting if you are within 1km.

Also, doesn't mean if you want to join PV, CHS will take you.
CHS won't let anyone comes in and do some menial jobs such as be traffic warden or be gardener.
You have to pitch a good plan / proposal to market yourself, saying what you can do to improve CHS or help the students of CHS.

If you are considering to apply for PV, CHS or otherwise, you will have to apply this year.

During the year when your child is.....
Age 4 - apply PV
Age 5 - perform PV duties
Age 6 - registration
