Quick question. Do have kids need to wear school uniform everyday? Even on PE days. Thanks.

Yes

Hi, do the students need to print out the handouts themselves or the teacher will distribute hardcopies?

[yin3]

One more question, is there any CCA that will require the students to go back to school on Saturdays?

Quite a few. Scouts being one of them.

Print themselves

I can see many anxious Sec 1 parents here. This is normal cos I went through it some 4 / 5 years ago. My boy is now going JC1.


However, I will suggest that parent should ask questions that will allow them to better understand the system as a whole in HCI, not the details or how to get things done (i.e. not what to wear, CCA arrangement, printing,…). The boys will definitely be told what is expected and what they should do. If they fail to do it on their own, they will have to learn now. ‘Doing it for them’ at this stage will not help them. Thinking that giving them another two years to mature have proven to me that it won’t work too.

Seriously, join the respectively Consortium PSG to get to know the system better, to get the necessary support you need, get to know the DC/ADC, interact with fellow parents both to learn and size things up, and have great fun + joy to see how our boy will grow into a young man.

To add what the DC of my DS’s consortium always mentioned. We have to trust the school that they know what they are doing as it is their ‘business’, and we should trust the teachers that they are well trained and are interested in the grooming of our DS. Thus what parents should do is to work WITH the school (or consortium) as the boys progress. 大家加油。

DS tried to login to the various portals but was not able to do so. Trying to find information about the various CCA trials and dates.


Imconcern, joining the PSG is a good idea, will find out more during the symposium meeting.

After a week of HCI experience, my DS seems to enjoy his new school I just hope he will continue to keep up the zest and well spent his next 6 years :imanangel:
