Hwa Chong Institution (High School)

Oh My Gosh:

So allocation is by skillsets then by interests?

For example, my son like CCA A more than CCA B and rank accordingly.
But during trials/ interview, he did much better in CCA B than CCA A.
Assuming there is slots for CCA A and CCA B (after DSA students considered), will he be allocated to CCA A or CCA B?

From my understanding, Hwa Chong tries to match both skills and interests. Each CCA will consider your son's preferrence, and at the same time think about whether they already filled up their allocated numbers yet, as well as whether your son's skillsets matches what they are looking for.

This is the reason why Sec 1s are given up to 9 choices (Min 1 Max 3 Sports, Min 1 Max 2 UGs Max 2 Clubs Max 2 Performing Arts), and your son has to be comfortable with getting into any of his choices. The CCA that your son gets into will definitely be within his choices, so don't worry.

On another note there's still 10+ CCAs that they Sec 1s haven't visited yet, and a further 3 weeks of trials, so Sec 1s should take this opportunity to explore new CCAs and their interests, and don't be too focused on just wanting to join a particular CCA. And most importantly find a CCA that your son would enjoy going to weekly

I supposed so but they do rank the names. Do note that in previous years, some boys are so promising that the teacher or coach would tell them straight that they will be accepted if they indcate that particular CCA as their 1st choice...something like that if i remember correctly.

The problem with the coach saying something like that is, we don't know how many other people he has told this to already. IMO, if your son is shortlisted, he may be one of the students that the CCA is looking out for, but still it won't guarantee your son's spot in the CCA. This is probably when going for trials is important--One trial at that CCA to show the coach/teacher your skills, spend the other trial dates exploring other CCAs as a back-up plan.

Appreciate if someone can advice me. I heard that Y1 have to sign up for T&F trials via website. But I do not cannot find via HCI website.
