Hi Could parents please help. Every year I pay for the electronic year book but have never seen it on the website nor get prompted that it is ready ( at least not through my son ). Could you please tell me the link to find it ? Thanks in advance.

Hi,


Would like to check with existing HCI parents is there needs to buy S1 topical assessment books, reference books or practice papers for any subjects? There are more new subjects now so a bit confused what to get for my DS and if there is need or worry the school curriculum may be too pack such that no time to do extra non-school assessments. Any advice is appreciated and if there is a need, kindly recommend the subject and associated assessments/reference books to get. Thanks!

U might want to let him explore and adapt to the changes first. So far, DS din really have time for assessment books and there isn't any IP assessment books either different schools run different curriculum ..

Hi parents who drive their kids to school (from the East), is traffic really bad in the bukit timah area in the mornings? What is "best" time to send them to avoid the jam?


Also, where is the drop off point for high school ?

Thanks so much!

Hi,


I dont seem to be able to find out how to fix the buttons and badge on HCI uniforms, not even on HCI web which is pretty weird. Thought such are standard info to be made available. Can share how and where to put on? Need to or can sew it on? Thanks.

I sometimes send my Son to school and I find the best time to do so is before 650 am. Even then there tends to be a Long queue for the u turn to head towards the city. The jam is caused mainly by parents dropping their kids off at RGPS.


as for the buttons, I sew them on. Otherwise, you can put then on by removing the small ring, threading the part that’s jutting out through the button hole, then fixing the ring back below the cloth (so you can’t see the ring from the front of the shirt). The badge is worn on the collar of the shirt - unscrew the back part, pierce the badge through the collar lapel and screw it back.

Hope that helps!

Forgot to add - drop off point for high school is via gate 3 (just before Namly Ave) or gate 4 (enter by Namly avenue). From gate 3, can drop them along the drive way and exit at gate 2, or Turn Right" after entering gate 3, then left, and drop them at the sheltered drop off point near the open air carpark. Exit via gate 5 (near boarding school) to namly Ave.


If you enter at gate 4, you can drop them along the road leading to HCIS. You’ll also have to exit by gate 5, which will lead you to namly avenue.

Your Son may be able to tell you which he prefers after a couple of weeks as one drop off point may be nearer to his classroom than the other.

Hope that helps!
