Last year's cut-off point was indeed 239. During then, I happened to be at the G.O so I overheard the staff-in-charge telling one mummy (who wanted to pull her daughter out) that there are 100 over students on their waiting list and pointed to the thick stack of documents behind her! So to sure sure get in must have at least T-Score of 240 last year (Dragon babies' competition :)) Every year there may be a difference of 1 - 3 points. Oh ya, during orientation, I saw the mummy who had wanted to pull her daughter out came with her girl. What a wise choice that she opted to stay put! Btw, I commented on my previous post that the sch principal is effectively biligual which I intentionally added in cos one of the mummies that I know told me she chose CCHMS because during open-house, she heard the principal's speech both in English and Mandarin and was rather impressed! She had wanted to choose another popular school closer to her home but the moment she heard the principal's speech in English, she nearly.....oops haha better don't continue. Oh ya, Kancheongpapa asked about Special and SAP.. which I believe is only SAP left. CCHMS in a way \"group\" their students according to their \"calibre\" They have a couple of classes with a certain percentage of students who has music background and another with Science & Math Talents (Both Math & Science with A* I think) etc etc... If really that is their way of catergorisation, it is considered rather a good approach in my opinon...But frankly, once your child enters the sch, any class that he or she goes to is really not so important anymore as enjoying the school's conducive environment in great learning is!
Cheerios! -

I took the liberty to contact the CCHM general office and I got word that there will be an open house on 16th November 2013. Looking foward to that !

Hello Kancheongpapa, am glad you managed to get the Open House date. For a relaxing view of the lake after touring the School, walk to the end of the Concourse on the right facing the School, you will get to see the fishes swimming freely and many a time, tortoises swimming out of the water, resting on the built-in lamps catching a glimpse of the surrounding. Very entertaining for some of us
Just a few days back, many other schools like, TKPS, TMPS, GPS, Red Swastika, TMSS, NASS etc etc joined CCHMS in celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival. There was a whole stretch of Fun-filled activities like Beans Art, Lantern Decorations, Balloon Sculpturing, Origami, Mooncake-making demo, mooncake-tasting and other activities.. The Sec ones will be invited to join in the fun. It will be your child's turn next year, cheers! -

Seems to me the traditional chinese-based schools place a lot of emphasis on festivals like moon-cake festivals and CNY. Good to know the ways of such celebrations especially with the onslaught of modern events such as the recently concluded F1 motor-race. Also, I found the theme in some schools to be too modern or hip-hop. Is this their way of glossing over the lack of academic achievements ? I hope I am not too biased.
Anyway, I have been on a steep learning curve since the days I started to fret over my daughter's DSA to CCHM and of course the upcoming PSLE exams. And she has 3 younger siblings for me to lose my sleep over their academic results for the next few years. Just press on ! Ha ! -
Hi,
I am very keen to use DSA for my gal to CCHM too. Can you please share which domain did your child use and what was the achievements for me to use as a guide ? Thanks in advance. -

Hi there ! My DD managed to DSAed to CCHM through the sports section : basketball. What they are looking for is for your DD to be in the team that come up tops in the zonal and/or national competition. That is followed by the selection trials. The coach and his team did a pretty comprehensive assessment of each individual players so it is no guarantee that if you are in the championship team, you are selected hands down. After that if your DD clear, she will be invited to the selection interview.Hi,

Overall, CCHM adopts a very personal approach in the DSA process. You will receive calls from the coach and members of his team, from which you can also discuss with them on the \"burning\" issues. I must say this is miles better that some secondary schools which inform your DD selection trials through internet.
Hope this answer your queries. Cheers ! -
HI
my ds will be going to sec 1 next year and i am starting to "research" on the schools i have in mind…
I am attracted to Chung Cheng Main because the students seem to be very disciplined and obedient kind… however, i am a bit concerned after reading earlier posts about the school being too chinese. my ds did say he would prefer to go to a school that is more "english"… would like to hear from parents with kids in the school, do your kids converse in mandarin with their classmates most of the time? also, what is the English std like? like one of the posters mentioned, it is impt to be good in English as well since almost all subjects r taught in english…

Hi Octopusmum,
I just asked my child, the class converse with one another in English!!!.
Personally, I think both their English and Chinese standards are good.
Most of their students are quite disciplined, a few black sheep maybe
