Hi everyone, thanks very much for the kind advice


@chschs - want to choose CHS as i m from its "sister school" back then, st nicks. Just thought that this family of schools are well rounded in academic and character development, the latter being the most important.

Husband is an alumni of maha bodhi school actually, but probably when compared to CHS, would pale. CHS ticks all the boxes in my opinion. But you are right, if have to empty savings then its rather silly. The issue here is if we move to bishan, we do not intend to sell out our current place, hence the stretch.

will have to reconsider this in great detail. such a headache even at this stage, not sure if i can take the stress of the "gamble".

Hi Parents, I am new to the forum and am not sure if this is the right thread to ask this question, very sorry if not, and would really appreciate some advice


I am hoping to send my son to Catholic High, and am intending to move within 1km of the school as well as signup for the parent volunteer scheme so that I could be eligible under Phase 2B.

As this move to 1km of school will potentially wipe out our savings, just wanted to do some fact finding first as would be a major decision.

1. Is the school very selective with parent volunteers? What would boost our chances?
2. So far, how is the \"acceptance rate\" for the PVs. Do most people get a slot or do many leave disappointed? The statistics make it out to be very scary, as in have to ballot even if you live within 1km of school in Phase 2B, but are the odds still reasonably good or is it a heart stopping gamble?

Really hoping someone can advise, am hoping the parent network group here might have some ex parent volunteers who can share your experiences. Thanks.
