Catholic High School

MdmKS:

Both are popular 'O' level track boy sec school. Parents who have sons in the school say it is very good . Well given a choice, which one will be your first choice? Why?

Distance. For us, if it was between VS & CHS, then it'd be CHS as it's much nearer. You do know that for sec sch children, they do end anytime between 2pm to 7pm, right?

Also, I think it really depends on your son's abilities & interests? Eg. for my younger boy who would be the next one doing PSLE, VS wouldn't even be one of his choice schools since it's not known to be strong in Chinese, is it? And the CCA he has strong interest in, I doubt VS is strong in it.

So there are many factors for you to consider. But distance is really one of the 1st, I must stress.

Consider the following factors.

1)Distance
2)CCA Achievements
3)Speciallization

1)As compared to Catholic High School, Victoria School is obviously much further.
2) Depending on your child's CCA, you might want to choose between the two schools on which suits your child's CCA more.
3) Victoria School is much of an English school. If your child is not good in English, I would encourage you to enrol him into Catholic High School.

Victoria School's cut-off point is 246 whereas Catholic High School's cut-off point is 249. You might want to consider this as one of the factors as well. Thanks.

My son had initially wanted to select CHS but after visiting SJI's Open House, he has decided to choose SJI instead.


SJI's New Principal, Assoc.Prof Koh Thiam Seng's new directions and workplans for SJI are indeed impressive.

I think otherwise, if the child English is weak it will be better to put him/her in an English school. Just like more China immigrants like to choose RI then HCI, RGS then NY.

Both are catholic school. I am now confused which to choose from. Any comments about 1.) Environment, 2.) Campus, 3.) Child development, 4.) how much my son will enjoy?

Bc the \"special\" stream was scrapped by MOE like 2 years ago. So all are just known as \"Express\" stream now.

Cath High's COP this year was like 248, right? See the Sec school COP thread.
