Hi, I have a P5 dd this year and I wanted to know if Anderson Secondary School is very stressful.

Hi Anderson is a very very stressful sch more stressful than top. Schools as everyone here is very competitive and my child. Once told that his teacher called her student unworthy to be a Macdonald worker just becuase she got bottom 8 and there are also other teachers that would constantly stress your child that they are the top 20% of their stream nationwide.

I heard the same from other students and parent on the pile of work given.


My DS is contemplating btw Anderson and Catholic High. He scored 251 but prefers Co-ed school as he worries that his temper may trigger easily since it is all-boys environment. Other than that, Catholic High has many favourable factors.

Any advise?

It depends on how impt it is to be co-ed... if it were up to me, Cat High first choice. Many benefits for your DS and grandsons too.

Catholic High is a wiser choice.

Your son choose IP or OP, if select Catholic High ?

if choose IP : straight-away go Eunoia JC in Year 5, if can clear Year 4 Promotional exam

if choose OP : at end of Sec 2, if do well, can still choose IP starting Year 3.

OP : O-level program
IP : Integrated program

Besides factoring in daily travelling distance to and fro every morning, do consider also what Cca your son has in mind, and are they found in which school ? Catholic High, being a Full school, your future grand-son can join the primary school, under Phase 2A1 several years' later (assuming Phase 2A1 still exists, then) .

He is opting for O levels and only decide after that depending on how well he cope with his studies and how good his results are. Also becoz, we are keeping the option on polytechnic route. Heard too much stress level stories for A level students. So how he manage in his sec level will determine which tertiary direction to go.


CCA is not an issue as he prefers sports like table tennis or can be uniform grp. Will explore further when school is confirmed.

Thanks for the prompt replies. Appreciate them

Will it be stressful? Read lots saying that Anderson will be stressful. I am taking Express stream and Higher Chinese. :scratchhead:
