Hi NicHei,


How did you get your boy a transfer into CHS? I tried to do a transfer for my boy for P2 next year. Put him on waiting list and sent CHS all the results and certificates, but reply was \"no vacancy\".

Hi, did the same as you. Submitted the waiting list and all his results etc. I heard that P1 and P2 difficult to get transfer, as the class size is fixed, unless got students transferred out of CHS. For P3, the class size gets bigger, not sure if it is true. Dun give up, submit again. THanks

Yes, don't give up. 2 of dd's old classmates managed to transfer to CHS only at P3, prob due to larger classes fm P3 onwards.

Thanks all for your comment.

What is the class size for P1 and P3?

[JonC]

In theory only, differs year to year.


P1, P2 and P3, 7 classes of 30, total 210.
Usually full after P1 registration / before P1 starts. Sometimes some went missing even at first day of P1 Some leave because parent need to work oversea. Some leave because cannot cope with the level of \"stress\" at school.

P4 onwards, 1 more class added due to non CH GEP students from other school, so in principle can take in 240. But 2 of the class (CH GEP and non CH GEP) are GEP and usually not fill to full capacity and non GEP are not allowed.

In my boys cohort (next year's P6), the number of CH GEP is very low, so now the other 6 class numbers are like this, 39, 39, 31, 32, 31, 31.

Getting into CH after registration / P1 / P2 / etc is case to case basis. Very good school result helps a lot.

So there is no good/bad time to get into CH.

If I’m not wrong, these class size apply to all primary schools - P1 and P2 30 students per class, P3 onwards class size increase to 40 students.

[JonC]

Not very sure other schools.


But CH every year P1 only take in only max 210.

My boy’s class stays 20+ from P1 to P4 due to reasons I have mentioned even with the pluses and minus. P5 is 31.

Just got the buttons for the uniform. Ask a silly question, do you remove the buttons everyday, before washing?

[JonC]

ha ha ha ... good question ...


In my days, I used to take the buttons out from the uniform everyday and my mum wash it. Was poor and try to save money by not buying extra set.

Well, now, I guess we are doing a lot better now and also kids and us alike getting lazier, we buy sets of buttons and just wash as it is. Button spoil or shirt get stain, throw away. If button jam in washing machine (not happen before as we put in washing bag), ha ha ha... good luck, time to change washing machine.

It really up to you. :lol:

We do take it out. But my friend actually sews them all on somehow. You could always put the shirts in a laundry meshbag(with close-weave, not those with big holes) before you put in the washing machine and the buttons will be fine.

Dear mommies & daddies, do you send your boys for tutions? My boy going P1 next yr and currently I’m coaching him myself but am worried that he may not cope with the studies & my coaching may confuse him more. Can advice which centers is good?
