Catholic Primary Schools

[kaka2]

Hi,


My nephew is enrolling to P1 this yr. As Catholic, we would like to send him to a catholic schools. Was thinking of MSH or St Gab. We are out of 2Km for MSH and within 1.5km-2km for St Gab. Should we just try MSH for Phase 2B?

Judging by past 5 years’ history, St Gab only had 2C balloting in 2006 (Dragon baby) and 2010 (could be spill over effect because CHS has only 9 places for 2C). Plus, both balloting are for those outside 2km.


You should be quite safe to get a place in St Gab even in phase 2C. So yes, you can try for MSH in phase 2B, and if fail, then go for St Gab in 2C.

Good luck!

I believe every IJ has its strengths. My daughter is at IJ TP as I have a strong emotional attachment having studied there till Sec 4.

sure stand a chance. whether the chance is good or not is the question. chij tp 2b usually ballot more than 2km and oversubscribed. luck and faith would play a big part. good luck

It's really a pity Marymount doesn't have sec...used to be so popular back then. Parents have certain criteria when choosing primary schools for children. For me, affiliation is very important.
