Hi tsh0202


I'm a newbie here. My DS is in Yr 1, hasn't been to Fan Si Pan in Vietnam.
So sorry, wish I could help.

No worries. Even though there was a parents' briefing, still think that it's best to get some advice/ sharings from parents whose DS had gone there before so as to better prepare my DS.
Thanks!

DS brought back a letter regarding “Student-Led Forum” (SLF) on 27 May 2014 (Tue).

It mentions that if we can’t make it to this forum, there will be no more formal “Parent-Teacher” session.
Is this SLF considered as the Parent-Teacher Meeting?
In the Student Handbook Calendar for Sec-1, May 26 and 27 are scheduled for Parent-Teacher sessions where students are not supposed to be present.
Confused

Yes, this is the PTM which is different from previous years whereby the parents have to book the sessions. My DS told me that he has to be around as he has to led the session ( sharing of his aspirations) in front of his 2 teachers and parents.

Thanks tsh0202


I don't think this \"Student-Led Forum\" will focus on students' strength & weakness on certain subjects and behaviour in school.

I heard from other IP school that those taking Higher Chinese Language (HCL) will have to take Standard Chinese “O” Level in Year 3 and HCL “O” Level in Year 4. Students with a good pass (C6 ?) in HCL “O” Level in Year 4 will be exempted to take Chinese Language in IP Year 5 and 6. Is this true for Hwa Chong?

Presently there are 6 subjects in Year 1. When students start taking more than 6 subjects in Year 2 or 3, is the MSG score based on 1R5, i.e. English Language (compulsory) plus best 5 subjects?

in HCI, you need to get at least a B4 for HCL O level in year 4 to be exempted in IP Year 5/6.

Thanks for the info

Hi HCI students and parents, any one from bedok reservoir area? i’d like to check what are the transport options going to school in the morning? Any school bus service or car pooling arrangement? what time do you usually leave for school?

Thought the student led forum was interesting. Such an innovative idea to let the students lead their own review process and hone their presentation skills at the same time. I am glad I attended.

Did the parents get to talk to the teachers during the forum. So there is no more ptm for all levels in hci?

Yes, but not as much as previous years.
