Hi,


Hijacking this thread for a separate question. Do you know what the school hours are for HCI? Is it 720-730am like the primary schools? The reason I am asking is that we live quite far from HCI.

Thanks.

yes is around that timing, can't recall exactly what time, except Friday at 8am. I stayed very far too, thus ds will have to catch the around 6am train to school.

There is also school bus service available which is run by a private operator registered with the school. my boys board the bus around 6.18 am every morning and we live in the east.

Thanks!


That is early. How are your boys coping with the early mornings? So tiring. Do they enjoy the school and the learning there?

My boy certainly enjoys his learning at HCI. Recently, the boys are having common test and my ds showed me some notes that one of his classmates compiled and sent to everyone. Such selfless act, which he said is the spirit of HCI

Well done to that boy! Some of my ds' school mates are very keen on HCI. Hope their wishes come true.

School life is hectic but my boys have no complaints so far. They are fine with having to wake up early in the morning. They can catch a short nap on the way to school after boarding the bus.


There is actually the option of taking the MRT since Tan Kah Kee station is now open. It is for the convenience that we decided on taking school bus as it is door-to-door, we don’t have to worry about bad weather etc. The timing is about the same.

One way or two way? How much? Thanks.

One-way morning (sec sch bus service only 1-way cos diff kids go home different timing on different days due to other commitments eg CCA). $120 per month each for my 2 boys. fees vary depending on location.

I totally agree!

Before the mid-year and EOY exams, the boys in the class will share a google doc and several boys will add in their info into the same doc to share with one another.
