Hi Parents,


Just wanted to check if the boys will be given a Student Organiser to write down tests, projects & things-to-do? I gave my son a simple notebook last week to write things down but was hoping that he would receive one as there would be lots of school info/tests schedule in it.

Thanks!

no student organizer will be given, the boys will have to rely on themselves to remember things and make it a habit to check EMB daily!

Student Handbook will be issue to the boys. He can record whatever he wants into the handbook. For school info, emb would be sufficient. For test, the teacher will inform them or you can refer to the website.

Thanks DoDo Bird and Lexis!

Hi, may I know how is CCA points important in IP program?

Am surprised that this is asked as I believe the school would have gone thru it. HCI looks at the holistic development of each boy. While the boy MIGHT NOT need to go through O Level, academic results is not everything there is in HCI. They also look at the character, leadership and skill development of each boy and opportunities and awards are given accordingly.

If anyone is asking this question for your DS, pls tell them that CCA is a commitment and an important of life in HCI. If you are asking this as a parent, I hope it do not negatively influence your DS as they will soon grow to be a man and textbooks is not everything.

Imconcern, thanks for the clarification. This question was asked purely to understand the role of CCA in terms of contributing to the promotion criteria in IP program and how is it different from 'O' level where the points are eventually contributing to the results to get into some JCs. The commitment in CCA is fully understood. Anyway, got your point....thanks.
