Hi

May I know if anyone has the link to Parents Bulletin Term 2? I couldn’t locate it in the website.

Separately, I remember there is a CHarts event on coming a Thursday, do we need tickets for this?

Thanks & regards

Hi, my ds, currently in sec1, has been offered to go to 华庆班 for acc. Though he has expressed interest, I am not sure if i shld let him do it as he is already struggling his other core subjects. Can anyone share with me what this programme entails? Thanks!

My kid has never been called up for 华庆班, so I can only share from what I know.
I gather that these boys will be asked to help organise Chinese-related activities in school as well as participate in inter-school competitions such as 华文大比拼。 Sometimes they may also attend activities from other schools or 华文会馆。
Since your child is selected, why not give it a try? He will probably enjoy it if he has a genuine interest in Chinese
Since he is only in Sec 1, not to worry too much about him not coping. Just monitor his progress, Moreover, CHS has Bicultural Studies Programme (BSP) from Sec 3. By involving in these activities, he will probably have a good feel if he wants to take up the programme ( which is geared towards the study of Chinese culture ) when given the chance to do so upon obtaining good EL & CL grades at end of sec 2.

Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6k6zKX3t6JaRk9Bei1sZWZQMTQ/view

Not sure about the ticketing though. Maybe you can call up the general office to ask.

:thankyou:[/quote]It is actually called 华青班。＂华族文化青年培訓班＂。My DS is in this CCA. Typically the involvement is about an hour per week where more sharing of Chinese culture is conducted by the school through some outsourcing partners. E.g. Tea appreciation along with some others like calligraphy deeper Chinese history. I recalled during Ptm session, there was some mentioning about added credentials for considerations for the bilateral scholarship program in year 3. In general, if they can cope, always good to learn more.
