He loves the friendship and camarademie currently, without the presence of girls, and he wonders if the presence of girls will change things hahaha.
Tell him he should be looking forward to JC, finally there are some girls in school to look at!Zeal mummy\" post_id=\"2042216\" time=\"1634204269\" user_id=\"58173:[quote=\"Zeal mummy\" post_id=2042216 time=1634204269 user_id=58173]
yikes, no wonder my son is not looking forward to JC at all! He's so attached to the high school.....
I too am surprised at how much he loves school, peers etc. So much so I feel sorry that Covid has impacted the kids and the range of their activities and interactions so much. Haha the main highlight is the Combined Sports Meet (for councillors between HCI and NYGH) but this has not taken place in two years! haha.[/quote]Sad to hear events have been postponed again and again. Maybe do a virtual meet? Suggest to school and see what they say? -

@doodbug
I ever asked dd’s form teacher (also her biology teacher) during a sec 4 PTM.
Was told no common paper with HCI for biology in the sec 4 EOY but they do look at each other’s exam papers.
I think the most valuable papers to have 'common' are Maths, Phy, Chem and perhaps English.
Bio - the A and O level syllabus are very different, and in HCI's case, no need to take Bio in upper sec to take Bio at A levels.
Am glad to hear that HCI boys are sufficiently prepared for Year 5. So far, I don't find the exam papers or standards killer style at HCI.... -
For HCI boys can, so I assume NYGH girls also can? HCI boys need a B3 in Chem. Best to check with school.

I remember u mentioning this previously.
He must have enjoyed his times in HCI (high school) very much!
It’s still the same school with HCI boys forming one third of the cohort, just that there are some girls now and more mugging.
All the best to him, 加油！ -
according to my DS, the Sports CCA kids will have the most interactions between HCI and NYGH - apparently for a good number of sports, NYGH girls go over to HCI to train at least once a week?
My son is not in sports - he is in performing arts. Supposed to have a combined concert with a girls school (strangely, not NYGH) can't recall this year or last year, but it did not materialize due to Covid.
Most other CCAs - no interactions between NYGH and HCI lah
The councillors work together on CSM - but sadly as I said, that event has not taken place the past two years. -

thank you! my DS is not very academic but fortunately he is coping okay with the academic workload at High School, in fact, i would say 80% of his teachers are very inspiring - many of whom are really passionate about the subject they teach, and it really shows through. he's 'made friends' with a good number of teachers. However, if JC academics is going to be a huge step up from High School, not sure how he'd be able to cope lor - we shall see.doodbug\" post_id=\"2042215\" time=\"1634203704\" user_id=\"13281:

High School has been fulfilling - even though he's not a very strong kid or what, he had a lot of opportunities to do things with friends - council lah, participate in MUN, CCA concerts, Sec one orientation (his favourite), and even in some science competition. So all in all, I think the educational experience was a rounded one. He didn't find the culture overly competitive or selfish or what - in fact, very supportive and nurturing. Surprised us completely. -

Earlier this year, there was supposed to be a school-wide virtual combined sports meet thing where corresponding classes & cca's from the 2 schools participated to earn points. Some initial planning took place in which the cca/ class leaders had some discussions but in the end, this was also cancelled. -

Is there any way to find out nygh subjects median scores for a particular cohort?
