Hi, may I know if IB Chinese B in SOTA is difficult, and is the HCL Chinese B same as HCL o levels?

Has anyone received email invitation to attend interview after attending NJC AEP aptitude test?

:thankyou:

Congrats! My child applied to SCGS Science too but we didn’t receive any email. So it looks like she isn’t shortlisted. All the best to your child!

Hi,

I have a question. Secondary schools with affiliation to primary sch allocates only 20% of its vacancies to non-affiliation students. With a score of 260, what are the chances of entering Catholic High O levels track ? ( my child isn’t interested in IP at all)
Tks

You can always discuss with his HCL teacher and/or form teacher on your concerns (dropping HCL earlier).

Hope it helps. All the best!

(A11) Can I offer/don’t offer Higher Chinese (HCL)?

CHS is a SAP school, and we aim to have students learn their mother tongue to the highest level possible for each individual student. Our Integrated Programme (IP) students offer HCL in their first two years (Years 1 and 2), and they typically go on to offer HCL in Years 3 and 4. We encourage all our students to offer HCL as far as they could and if they qualify. On top of improving their cultural intelligence quotient and world readiness skill set, offering HCL will open opportunities and pathways for our students long after they have completed secondary education.

Thanks! My son can go IP or O level track with his T score. He wants to go IP but I have my reservations. O levels will be less stressful and easier to find resources and tuition centers.

Can anyone share reading resources and tuition centres suitable for CHS IP ?

:congrats:

Some key points to note:-

If he chooses CHS IP, he will go to Eunoia JC.

If he chooses CHS O Level, he will apply for admission to junior colleges (JC) via JAE with his O Level results. Some students may choose other routes (eg DSA, Poly, …).

IP & O Level curriculum are quite different. You and your son should discuss to see which is more suitable for him.

For most O Level curriculum, especially during Sec 4, teachers & students will be focusing on the O-Level syllabus and exam. Whereas IP students will have a broader curriculum (eg more projects, presentations, … etc).

Hope the following links helps. All the best to your son!

…

Also, involve your son in making the decision and take into consideration what he wants.

…

Parents choosing between the IP and O-level track should consider which will be a better fit for their children.

Those on the IP skip the O levels and the programme requires students to be independent learners. So it does not suit those who need a more structured programme and a major examination, like the O levels, to hunker down and study.[/quote]Thanks Coast for your prompt reply. My son loves EJC ! It's just a bridge across our house. In fact, we can even see the school from my flat. It saves time travelling, hence a big bonus for us.
