I had a look at my son's Chinese papers and must say they're pretty tough and I'm pretty worried if he'll be able to cope. My son didn't take HCL at PSLE although he was from NYPS and had to go through the GE HCL syllabus which I thought was really tough. Do all boys do HCL in HCI? Maybe I should ask the school if he's doing HCL or normal Chinese?? Do they even have normal Chinese classes??

Who is your son? I'm from NYPS and also from GE. Oh, and I think you can opt out from Higher Chinese.

I don't think so unless proven can't cope in later years. Strongly discouraged by the school from what I hear. Booklist only has HCL textbook.

Yes my DS told us that the students can follow the parents. I was told we are meeting the FT.

ya my DS told me that too. But it seems it's just an informal gathering before the talk so I wonder how the teacher can manage all the parents at the same time. I can imagine all the parents are excited and many parents would have questions to ask. Any ex-Sec 1 parent around to share on last year's symposium?

My DS brought back a piece of paper entitled : 中一语特课程（算一科目的分数）。 Anyone here knows what is this all about.

Thank you.

Out of interest, JustKP - which consortium is ur DS in?
I checked with my DS, he doesn't hv this paper.

Understand that all S1 students take HCL.
Also heard from a staff that those falling behind will be given remedial help.
Shouldn't worry yourself too much at this early stage.

Anyone knows whether the Year5 IP program students are in school now ?

If yes, then when the intake from O Levels come in, how are they gonna catch up ?

If no, that means holiday for Year5 IP students are so long ?

Thanks

Don't know about Hwa Chong, but for your info, I saw at RJC, the JC1s have started school. Very obvious from all the RGS uniforms in the 1st 2 weeks of school year.

If the JC1 has started school, then what happen to the batch of JC1 that are coming in using their O Levels ? Will they be in the same class ? They will be in a different program from the present JC1 students who took the IP program ?

No idea, maybe there's some students here that can answer that.

But I think not many would join RJC from outside schools. Not so much vacancy after providing for their own IP students. And I must say that \"missing\" 3 weeks of school cannot be as bad as the 3months as it was in our time. Surely can still catch up, lah!

Yes, I am curious as to whether those coming in from O Levels into JC1:

a) will have to catch up 3 weeks ? OR
b) they do different program from the existing JC1 that is already in via IP ? OR
c) the existing JC do not come in until 3 weeks later ?

Thanks
