Does anyone know if parents need to be in the sec school on 1st day for briefing or admin stuff etc?

Parents are encouraged to be in school on 22/12 reporting day. Some admin stuff and parents talk for some programmes.

Hi fellow parents, our family will be away on a trip during the reporting day. Do you guys know what’s the procedure to inform the school? What is usually done and how can we get updates etc? Thanks in advance

you must authorise a proxy to act on your behalf to report to the posted secondary school for registration on 22/12, or your place will be released to other pupils.

Hi parents,

My son did not take HMT in PSLE, can we request for HMT in secondary school ? what is the procedure to switch to HMT in secondary school?

Hi anandhi
All IP students must take HMT unless they are exempt from Mother Tongue. O level students in top schools are encouraged to take HMT whether or not they took it in pri school.
I believe there is an \"eligibility\" for HMT in the PSLE result slip?

It's not compulsory for all IP students to take HMT. Varies from school to school.

I am confused about this whole hmt thing. So do the IP students take O level hcl or cl at Sec 3 or 4? And what exemption does it give in JC? I heard still must take cl or hcl in JC after this O level cl/hcl

IP students who are doing HCL take their O level HCL at Year 4. If they do well enough, they're exempted from taking MT in JC.
