don't think that is possible now with we as parents being so protective over our precious kid(s).

and whoever had hair that was too long/dyed, had their hair cut by the Head of P.E, who was the de-facto discipline master. He was really a terrible barber LOL.

Whoever was not happy with the school rules, were free to quit school/transfer. The school never bent its rules to satisfy parents. It had its own source of funding from wholly-owned construction company Hua Tiong, tons of money left behind by benefactor Tan Kah Kee and family (I was in the same class as his great-grandson lol) and it was largely free from MOE controls due to its status as an independent school.

When i was there, i hated it so much. But now, looking back, I was glad i was raised in such a draconian environment. It made me realise, inside me, is a tougher man than myself.

I heard before it turned SAP it wasn't that of a good school.

It only wasn't so good during my father's time...that's in the 1960s.

All the way from late 70s onwards, it had an illustrous history of producing scholars, entrepreneurs and even one President hehe.

Unfortunately, I'm not one of them lol

But from ur posts can see ur intelligent

not intelligent enough lor LOL

I was in the last class. In the old days (I dunno about now) the classes are roughly ranked by subject combi, then academic performance. And within the class, we're ranked by our marks. I was 2nd last....so i was 2nd last in the whole school LOL

And even though my class was the last class, we've produced one SAFOS scholar, 2 lawyers, one doctor, a whole horde of bankers,......and one Ah Kua LOL

I'm very proud of my school and my class

The recent class gathering, saw a few guys with BMW and Merc already...one guy with a CLK with the top down woohoo.....and i'm the only one in a rotten old car lol

lovekidsverymuch:

Thats amazing which means all these classifications are of no use :? cause if the last class can produce all these ppl then why classify????? u should be definitely be proud keep it up!!

the top classes produce even more lol

one guy i knew from sec 2 (after that i was thrown to the last class while he went to the first lol), he became a President's Scholar...now he's a pilot.

And when i went to KK with my wife for checkup, the doc was a guy from the 2nd class hehe

And when my wife was hospitalised for an allergy, the doc was from the 4th class HAHAHA

My class only 1 doc, considered very pathetic already LOL

hey, how they rank your class then?

now it’s called year/arts or science/six or seven/alphabet or letter.
For example, 09S70. I also don’t know how they put one, it seems random, lol.
