[quote=\"iRabbit\"]Sorry for my slightly curt reply earlier on. I was rushing for an appt and so cut short my post. What you posted is consistent with what I heard. I've heard of students scoring merit and above for PSLE HCL but barely passing HCL in IP Y1. It seems that there is a big gap between IP and pri sch HCL std.


As part of my 'research' into sec schs for my son who will be P6 next year, sometimes I browse sch threads like RVHS and HCI. From the sharing there, it seems that students have to write book reviews and newspaper article commentaries as early as Y1, and present them in class on a regular basis. This is definitely a big jump from PSLE HCL whereby it's mainly Compo and OE Compre.

My son in NUSH doing HCL also has to do something like that. So I guess this may be the norm in HCL sec school?

PS Off topic a bit

If this is the norm, then there's no escape for my boy as I definitely want him to take HCL in sec sch. Thanks for the heads up.[/quote]This is norm for HCI too. So far my boy is handling quite well. Teacher will guide them along...

Btw, should we buy ALL textbooks?[/quote]Being kiasu, best to buy ALL. But some of the textbooks
i.e. Maths and Science textbooks are hardly used
Ds will be there to assist Sec 1 registration and freshman orientation too...

Waited for a few days, thought someone already decoded it

Too sensitive to decode. :censored:

Next year is a big year for us. Now I really wished I've 2 or more children. I think 2 is ideal. Don't think I can cope with 3!

With more children, expectations will be balanced-out. With one, naturally all eyes will be that one. It's quite unfair for ds to shoulder all my expectations.

It's one of the things I'll change if I've a second chance. :oops:

Just have plenty of rest, eat more healthy foods and exercise adequately if possible. Dont try funny things such as change of study/eating habits, if he has been doing fine for the past few years just follow as it is. What you could do for jr rabbit will be lots of moral support for next year

HCI is based on Chinese Culture. However, most of the teaching is done in English. ‘Cheena’ is a pretty ignorant word to describe HCI

Normally during S1 registration, you could access the school bus operator contact number on that day. However, it is a private school bus service. There will be plenty of Hwa Chong boys on S1 registration to assist you.

So far, we have had no problem with the private school bus operator.

Sorry was a bit late... Congrats to your ds with good result :rahrah:
