Anyway P4 no need to worry.


There will be another musical chair based on P4 result. Good will go good class and no good go weak class.

P5 classes, they will likely to stick to same class till P6.

For those in GEP, don’t think that they will be there, I have seen GEP students downgraded to non GEP classes.

In my DS year, they actually take care well even the weaker classes, about 2 to 3 classes and they do pretty well, some even able to stay back in CHS Sec.

Good class doesn’t mean will get good result, there are also some who didn’t make it to CHS Sec.

So you know what I mean?

I would say, CHS takes good care and prepare the students well for PSLE, if they don’t make it, it is the students own fault.

Hi,

Thank you all so much for the explanation. I fully believe the school will taken care all the students. Understand what you mean. Still depends on kids themselves. Thank you.

You do not need to wear the CHS socks.

All my 3 boys have been wearing plan white socks (with the grey patch below).

They will do fine.

Hi everyone, my son will be in P1 next year. Any CHS mummy here?

Just received the orientation/ school information and booklist for next year. Is it necessary to buy all the optional items?

Hi bluebear, welcome to CHS! Do not buy the optional items, as most likely they will not be used by the teachers in class. Perhaps you can check with the teachers during orientation before buying them. Meanwhile, enjoy and have fun at CHS!!!

Thanks firefly38 for the warm welcome. Hope to see you around this forum. I bought the school socks but I think they are too big for my boy. Yet to know who will be the form teacher.

Here, thanks to all mummy’s talk about uniform buttons, socks… very useful information. Now understand why buttons need a long discussion, finally bought all the items needed for the new start of my boy… looking forward to his 1st school day in CHS…

Hi!

Need some feedback from parents with boys in Cath High.
My son is able to get in via Phase2A1 next year and I’m looking forward…

However, hubby is having 2nd thoughts and worries about it being pressure-cooker, etc. He is more inclined towards this other boys’ school, but I’m not as keen as it’s not strong in Chinese (I’m from a ‘Chinese’ school, and I feel that there is just something a little different from the so-called ‘English’ schools)
I also feel the other school’s environment is a little too lax for my liking : P
(It’s PSLE pass rates for various subjects is about 1/2 of Cath high’s).

However, parents from that school have been posting great remarks about that school… how they love that school…how the environment is nurtering, etc.

Any parents here can help me ‘convince’ my hubby that Cath High is more than just a school that is good in its academic achievements?
Better still if the examples are your own experiences and not just hear-say…
: )

Thanks!
