Hi, my DS in Sec1K…he is taking HCL. May I know if the classes sorted by PSLE scores? DS said there are many more girls than boys in his class (around 10 boys, 25 girls)

Hi my DD in 1E, taking normal Chinese. May I ask those parents with children taking HCL, does your child took HCL in Psle? Initially I thought it is compulsory to take HCL like in CHUNG CHENG HIGH Main but is not the case here. My DD wasn’t offered HCL. I’m wondering why. Anyone can enlighten?

If you are offered HCL, school will allocate students to HCL class. Otherwise there is a chinese test before school opening to test on suitability for HCL class. Even in HCL class, if fail HCL by end of sec one, student will be allocated to CL class.

Hi, my son took HCL in psle & now doing HCL in AHS. The psle result slip says only the top 10% psle scorers or if your child is in 11% to 30%, with at least a merit in HCL, then the child will be offered HCL in sec sch

I think AHS is the only SAP school that "discourage" HCL by only offering it to those who met MOE’s criteria. Other SAP schools encourage all students to give a try regardless if they meet criteria or not.

I feel they should make it compulsory for all students to take HCL otherwise it depict the purpose of being a SAP school. For those that cannot make the mark later on, can still drop to normal Chinese. If they didn’t offer it to all students, those who can actually score in HCL won’t even have the chance to prove it. If the student did well in Sec 1 normal Chinese, will he or she be offered HCL in Sec 2?

I think I have read somewhere which suggests that in AHS, if a student performs well for CL in sec1, he or she may take up HCL in sec2. Perhaps you can give AHS a call & enquire or try to appeal

Hi, i know the class students has alreadt formed their own watsapp grp. For the parents, there shld be a watsapp grp soon as the parent supp grp has nominated 3 parents to be in charge. Actually i prefer not to join the watsapp grp, but my child to update me himself, as he shld learn to be indept and mindful, without my interference.

Very very few each year from CL to HCL. One or two students at most each year.
The school wants to protect their O level results. The less HCL students the school has, the lower the failure rate, the better the statistics look.
