Anyone knows what's the promotion criteria for Sec 2 students such that my boy doesn't go SIP?

Independent project needs to be B4
Oral communications C5
All subjects add up need to be less than MSG 4
Pass in both languages

MSG less than 4.0 is incorrect.

To stay in IP, acad MSG cannot be more than 3.0.

Dear all

How are the workloads on the kids (Sec 1-4)? Do they still need tuitions?

Hi! My son is in sec 4 this year and he is doing fine without tuition. His workloads look okay to me as he seems to be quite relax most of the time. The best part is, he told me that he enjoys school and is very happy at school everyday.

I guess how heavy is the workload also depends on how the kid prioritizes the work, for example, my son did not really put in a lot of effort for project or quiz that has very little weightage :oops: but my daughter (IP year 3) on the other hand, puts in equal effort for everything, so my daughter is very busy and her \"workload is very heavy\".

Hi!


Anyone here whose son went to HCI without any accompanying friends from primary school?

Traditionally, my son’s primary school only has 1 or 2 kids, if not none, going to HCI. I am wondering how difficult the adjustment would be for my kid without knowing anyone in the School. Plus he isn’t taking HCL now. Hmmm.

Hi I need some advice , any HCI parent support group parents of Seniors in HCI that are willing to help me? I would appreciate it if you could PM me. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’d like to ask if HCI offers triple science combination for Year 3s? And are there any special science programs for interested students in year 1 and 2? Thanks in advance.

You can offer Trip Sci in Year 3-4 but your overall MSG and Sci marks must hit a minimum (cannot remember what now).

Thanks Lexis. Would you know if can still opt for biology if DS has color deficiency?

Hi! My son came to HCI along and there is no problem at all! He has made many new friends and along the way he was a student council exco, CCA head etc. I think it also boils down the character of the kids

So your ds has dsa successfully to HCI? Congrats! It is a great school!
