I dont think sbb is relevant for this school.

How is life in cat high O? How are the teachers there? How many O and IP classes are there?

Subject based banding will be implemented from 2024 onwards. How will it work then?

I can’t answer the first half, but regarding the full SBB, definitely does not apply to CHS.

FSBB only affects the secondary schools that have Express + NA (+NT) streams (and teachers who teach those streams).

Oic, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the updated information!

… If I score AL9 here, I will just put whichever school I want more first and hope for the best, as I think it is difficult to know the exact odds (either of the schools could move +/- 1 too, in which case you could be easily in or no chance).

That would be easy if there is a school you want more. In which case, you wont even be trying to find out so many things. Because afteralll there is one you like a bit better.

The problem comes when you are indifferent, when you dont mind one or the other, it becomes difficult. Your main priority is just to put the one with the higher chance. I am guessing that is what is happening here.

Yes, this is true. There is actually no specific preference of these 2 schools, both schools are great!
Then I thought maybe by knowing the OP cohort intake size multiply by the 20% for non-affiliated pupils, then I can judge which school stands higher chance (eg more vacancies available for non-affiliated).
After seeing some of the replies, this also seems not a very reliable indicator to helpsin making the order choice.
Guess at the end, if my DS really gets AL9, would have to throw coin to decide.. LOL

Of course moves up the list in table: CHS IP!
(if HCL is M)
Anyway, let's see in 2 weeks time.

Clearly CHS is top of ur choice, since u are on CHS thread, all the best in 2 weeks!

For Cat High IP students, they can drop HCL after the first 2 years at Year 3.


Is there a huge difference between HCL and normal Chinese in secondary?

May I know from experienced parents here how many sets of school uniform should the boys have? Do they wear the school uniform often or are they allowed to be in PE shirts and shorts on certain days of the week? Thanks.
