On the 22nd dec, reporting time is 830am. Anyone knows what time will the event ends?


Just purely registration and purchasing of textbooks and uniform? Thanks in advance!!

moment3w3, welcome to our Hwa Chong family!

Based on past years' experience, most students only have to register and purchase items. I don't recall a fixed ending time, once everything was bought we could just go off, although there were some people who also decided to look around the school.

Hi Moment3w3,
My Son getting into HCI next year too. I was told that it will take approximately 1 hour for registration, buying of books and uniforms in the school book shop (popular). I already bought the school uniforms and secondary 1 books. Just to avoid the crowd on 22 Dec. The Aunty in the bookshop help in getting the right sizes etc. Bought 3 sets of uniforms and 3 sets of PE attire. They accept credit card, nets and cash. Total of secondary 1 textbooks and uniforms about $380.. hope that helps...books are really heavy though so do bring along help.

Hi Teapot
Yes the secondary 1 textbook list is in the bookshop. I drove in so had to exchange my ID for a pass. I am not sure what time the bookshop close. I went there just around 230pm. It’s quite a walk in and I got lost. So ask around for the book shop which is near the canteen. I recall having to walk towards the hall and got to go down few steps..

I think that Popular bookshop opens from 9.30am to 3 pm
Give them a call at tel:64693617 before you make your way down.
Bring along your Popular discount card when you are purchasing the books.

Hi parents,

May I know where to find resources for Julius caesar other than sparksnotes and cliffsnotes?
Thanks because my son is weak in english

Hi manifits,
As the class exercises and tests will be mainly on passage-based comprehensions, the sparknotes / cliffnotes will more than suffice. Your boy just needs to take down notes in class and go through the text at home. Also, they will not cover the entire book.

Hihi, may I know what is sparknotes / cliffnotes? where can I get them?

My boy is in Sec 3 SMTP this year and I understand that there is a science research trip to Virginia, US, later this year. Does any HCI parent / past student know about this trip? What is the purpose of the trip and are there criteria to qualify before applying?


Thanks so much!

Hi May I know how does streaming in Sec 3 work? What are the subjects offered under SMTP? What are the subject combi offered in non-SMTP classes? Where can I get the info regarding the year 3 streaming? Appreciate if someone can help to provide more insights.

Hi, I am considering to place my son in HCI. I understand that this is an IP school & it is very competitive. In the event if my son does not do well in IP route, can he switch to do O levels instead but remain in HCI? At which level can he switch? Sec 2, 3 or 4?
