Appreciate the info; my perception is usually for pioneer batch the school will grill more academically to prove ip program is on par with others; demanding n high expectations are necessary to attract top students n results need to show

Its very dependence on what the school and the parent/student is looking for. I view IP as an opportunity to depart from drill of preparing for a major exam to develop and enjoy the learning process. There is little point of going ip only to be drilling for exams day and night.

Moving away from IP, i think CHS as a whole is not so academically focus.... After all its stated objective is to have \"happy students\"...

Nope. Goes by grading. Overall grade b to pass. If not wrong 60 and above.

Tks so must be above average to promote next level.

If below B in year 1, will be placed under mentorship in year 2.


If you are interested, CHS open house is on 30 Nov 8.30am to 2.30pm…

hi parents,


can i check if CHPS P1 kids are required to write compo based on pictures? If yes, by which Term?

I'm wondering if there is a (kiasu) need to sign up for compo writing enrichment classes for my K1 kid who is (or so we hope!) going into CHPS in 2015...

Tks

Compo writing class is for P1 onward. K1 can attend reading & phonics classes.

It seem like CHS has a very relaxing culture. Exams are around the corner & the boys are still playing football after school. My son told me the principal said it is important to have zest for life. According to him, most of the CHS boys are enjoying themselves rather than pushing themselves. Base on his observation, RI football field is empty most of the time.
