Catholic High (Primary)

[littlelittle]

Dear experienced parents,


My boy has been admitted to CHS for P1 in 2024. As working parents, we are also looking for his after school care.
Any parent here has any feedback on its school based student care (Commit Learning Schoolhouse) please? Thank you so much for taking time to reply.

I put in my child for a year in P1. It was ok.

P2 pupils will be allocated to different class in P3, just want to know if there are any "criteria" for such allocation? And which is/are the "top" class in P3? Thanks

Hello fellow parents,


Can I ask what the chances are of putting my child in Cat High primary for phase 2C, <1km? I’m considering between that and KCPPS (Alumni, <1km). I prefer Cat High but I’m wondering if it’s too risky to forego my chance at the earlier phase for KCPPS in order to try for Cat High at phase 2C.

Any thoughts or advice to share please? Thank you!

If your son is SC, living less than 1 lm from the school,


your chance of balloting into Catholic High Junior is only … 50 percent. The balloting at CHS (Phase 2C, open to public), is very intense !


Why?

Because

everything depends on your own luck, on that balloting day … Is either an "in" or an "out".

So, always prepare a backup school in Phase 2C Supp, just in case.

If you do not wish to take risk, then, just stick to Kuo Chuan Presbyterian primary school under Phase 2A, since you are an alumni. Then seek Transfer later on to CHS, during P1 to P3.

KCPS is also a good school.

I would still go for Catholic High as it's a school that's worth the risk. But of course need to go in with open mind and even more importantly, you must be comfortable and at peace with your 2CS backup school.

Thank you all for your replies! Much appreciated. May I know if there’s a site that shows history of balloting for the phase 2CS schools?

I guess different people have different risk profiles. Personally speaking, to be \"safe\", I would go for KCPPS in Phase 2B, then wait to see if it is worthwhile to withdraw and take my risk in CHS in Phase 2C. Most times, I would just stay in KCPPS rather than to risk not getting a preferred school at all...
