My girl (244) can go to CHIJ (TPY) and CCHM. Which is a better choice in terms of academics / CCA?


Distance wise: CHIJ (TPY) wins hands down (walk 5 mins), CCHM (1h bus journey)
Girl preference - CCHM (cos her friends mostly opt this school), hates CHIJ (TPY) - dunno why?
She has no HCL in Primary school, not strong in chinese.

Any advise?

This seems like a tough decision but yes, let your DD decide, after all she will be spending her next 4 years in that school

[kaxhong]

Thanks for the sound advices.


I am leaning towards letting her choose CCHM, but i have following concerns.

Concerns:
1) CCHM being a SAP school. There is online reverbs of revamping SAP scheme as it does not bode well for students when coping with multi-racial issues. Should this be a real concern?
2) Double edge swords at CCHM
a) HCL could beef up her chinese, but on the flip side it wedge her dislike in chinese further. What are the impacts of dropping HCL after sec 2?
b) CO at CCHM, something she like but seems very demanding, practice sessions already took up so much time. Not forgetting those competitions. How true is this?

For CCHM
At lower sec, what forms the basic subjects to require ?

- Language - HCL and English ? No normal Chinese?
- Design & Technology is a compulsory coursework-based subject (yr 1&2 only ?)
- FOOD & CONSUMER EDUCATION (all 4 yrs / examinable ?)
- Geography, History, and Social Studies.
- Maths (still E and A maths?)
- Lower Secondary Science
- Art / Social Science / FCE / D & T are these non core subjects?

At upper sec, what are the options ? e.g. triple sciences, pure humanities, etc ? And the criterias ?

a choice of offering History Elective (as part of the Combined Humanities subject) or History.
a choice between offering Geography Elective (as part of the Combined Humanities subject) or Geography.
=> What is the difference between His/Geo Elective and pure history/geography?

Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Science (Biology/Chemistry), Science (Chemistry/Physics)
=> Are these 3 options of science ?

=> Can i assume double maths, language are mandatory ?

Any comments if CCHM is a school that stretches a student’s potential, both academically and personal development?


How is the school’s O-level performance?

Any comments between CCHM and VS, other than the difference that CCHM is SAP and gives more attention to the Chinese language.

Thanks.

Also keen to know how is their school’s O level performance. Which JC do most CCHM go to ?


Thanks.
