Anglican High School

I feel they should make it compulsory for all students to take HCL otherwise it depict the purpose of being a SAP school. For those that cannot make the mark later on, can still drop to normal Chinese. If they didn't offer it to all students, those who can actually score in HCL won't even have the chance to prove it. If the student did well in Sec 1 normal Chinese, will he or she be offered HCL in Sec 2?

I think I have read somewhere which suggests that in AHS, if a student performs well for CL in sec1, he or she may take up HCL in sec2. Perhaps you can give AHS a call & enquire or try to appeal

Hi, my DS in Sec1K...he is taking HCL. May I know if the classes sorted by PSLE scores? DS said there are many more girls than boys in his class (around 10 boys, 25 girls)

Hi, my DS in 1K too Do you know is there any parents' group chat for this class?

Hi, i know the class students has alreadt formed their own watsapp grp. For the parents, there shld be a watsapp grp soon as the parent supp grp has nominated 3 parents to be in charge. Actually i prefer not to join the watsapp grp, but my child to update me himself, as he shld learn to be indept and mindful, without my interference.

Very very few each year from CL to HCL. One or two students at most each year.
The school wants to protect their O level results. The less HCL students the school has, the lower the failure rate, the better the statistics look.

So once in CL basically don’t stand much chance to go to HCL unless marks in range of 90s. Anyone knows AHS has how many classes of HCL and CL? I understand that there are some students opting out of HCL during registration. I’m curious why don’t they give a shot at it since they can still choose CL if result is not satisfactory.

Hi my DD in 1E, taking normal Chinese. May I ask those parents with children taking HCL, does your child took HCL in Psle? Initially I thought it is compulsory to take HCL like in CHUNG CHENG HIGH Main but is not the case here. My DD wasn't offered HCL. I'm wondering why. Anyone can enlighten?

That's very probably why Chung Cheng Main cut off point is now 242, while Anglican High is 238.

AHS cop used to be higher or on par with CCHM but last 2 years seems lower.

I think is because CCHM is affiliated to NYJC which is getting more and more popular. Whereas AHS is affiliated to SAJC.

Some students are resist to take higher chinese, even given a chance to try.
Once they heard that any sch which make higher chinese is compulsory, they wont even consider the sch.
Parent cannot force their kids to take up.
Afterall, they are grown up teenagers, hv their own mind of thinking.

I agree parents shouldn’t force. But this school is a so called SAP chinese background school. The way it is doing now is not providing students choice. It is closing the doors on them. The so called SAP is not there.

Sec 1 has 5 classes CL and 5 classes HCL.
