Understand that Catholic High's Mathematics Head of Department has published a book on problem-solving. Any of you can share with me the exact title of this book the head of department publishes ?

I think you are referring to this series of books:

Ah, actually in CHS, they just use their own materials that you buy in a file. But now that the school didn't achieve whatever national position for this year altho' chs was #2 position last yr, I wonder if the \"file\" still effective or not. *haha*

Anyone knows which student center is good near the CH? I am looking for a student ceter for my son. I can only go to pick him up after 6:30 pm.

\"F\" class is BEST... \"E\" is 2nd best... after that it is all average classes .. so no worst class. Hope that helps. Hope they are not changing that next year.

Is this the same for P3. I will be transferring my boy to CH, next year. Anyone also transferring their boy next year?

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\".

So high meh? Historically, it has been around 225. There will only be a minimum COP set for the cohort of 2010 onwards.

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, in p5/p6, I understand that 10+ boys who are taking Foundation level subjects have been in the \"A\" class.

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

I counted that in the p4 non-gep cohort for this year, there are already 18 more boys than there first was when they started out in p1. Oh well, some DID transfer out too and some went into the GEP classes. So there are plus/minus here and there.
