Is hci or ri better? I actually can't come to a conclusion despite visiting both the open houses and listening to the talks

I have DD in both RJC and HCI.
Both JC are in tier 1 league. They are both good schools producing good results.
However, they are very different in term of:
1) so called western and cheena culture (used by Singaporean). Eg. school song.
2) school environment. You will feel the vast differences.
3) specialty in CCA and gaining scholarships.
4) the ways of celebration of CNY, etc.

My eldest DD was in SCGS, something like Pernakan culture, when she joined HCI. she was completely taken aback, but of course she adapt and is part of the great HCI family. Hope it help.

Hi can someone advice when do IP student promoting to year 5 has to buy new JC uniform. Next week or wait till JAE students joining? From RGS to RJC.

My DD is in JC2 this year. Last year, she didnt perform to her satisfaction. Let’s hope our DD is mentally well charge after the long school holiday!

Hi, How your DD / DS doing in JC1? Mine not doing good…any good tutor for H2 Maths ? Thanks.

really sad the aspiring young did not get the training contract.

Anyone has receive any news on getting Pre-U Scholarship?

Hi parents:) Ninjazz34 here!


I have intentions on transferring to a IP school this year for Sec 3 next year.I decided that I would apply to a few schools instead of just one so that I can try my luck.However,one of the IP schools I'm deciding to apply for doesn't have an entrance exam.Since its one of the top schools,for a neighbourhood school student,chances are deemed to be 0% as their criteria will be really strict and what's more,the whole curriculum will be different and such.

So I would like to clear the following doubts to reconsider my decision:

1.Is studying in an IP school hard as what people make it out to be?
2.What are the usual hours your child gets back from school?(excludes days that they have CCA)Do they have enough time to complete homework and projects?
3.Are they stressed out or depressed of the competitiveness in the school(if any)?

I hope that someone can help and answer these questions.Thank you!

I have 2 DDs. One just graduated from SCGS (Old batch so no IP) and currently at HCI. The other DD at IP RGS currently at year 4.
1) Studying in IP requires different approaches..i mean practically very different style of learning. Alot of self research, no much studying materials given to student, very JC/Uni style of learning, uses alot of internet and library material resources. I am glad i chose RGS for her and her ability to grow up as what she is capable of to be.

2. Both DD whether IP and non-IP goes home about same timing. Only thing is CCA commitment.

3. Both options can create stress. If you choose non-IP, in SCGS, they too have many frequent tests/assignments/projects. I see no different in the stress.

Ask your self do you prefer to research resource notes/materials for self style learning (in IP) or studying materials being dump onto you and goes for tests/exam (non-IP)?
