Peowge:

Anyone know when nov/Dec school holidays start?

From 24 November.

[VooVoo]

I saw from the school calendar that there’s a "re-exams" period from 26-29 Nov…what does this mean? Applicable to Sec1s? Thanks!

Hi, what are the requirements for the hwa chong holistic education certificate, merit and distinction. My son is confused because all his classmates seem to be doing cep projects as they told him it is one of requirement? Anyone can enlighten on this issue?Thanks

Hi VooVoo, all Sec 1 boys will progress to Sec 2 regardless of results. As far as I know, there is no re exams f Sec 1.

Quick check with parents here - is Sec 1 supposed to be a honeymoon year? I already seem to think the son is busy and stretched (albeit happily) in Sec 1 already. Not sure how he will be able to cope in subsequent years if the load is going to increase further

Stretched indeed and often times, the commitments overlap and need to juggle these commitments :nailbite: Last week was a crazy week - started off with their project presentation, then a history test, followed by third lang test, english test, science pratical test and finished off with a debate, and all graded So glad that this week is \"test-free\" :boogie:

Fainted My DS had it slightly better last week, as he does not read 3rd lang; sci practical was previous week, and his group is not scheduled for debates as yet.

This week he has half a CL test of sorts.
I'm actually not keeping up. But there seems to be a mountain of group work?
I can't imagine when CCA load hits full swing. Most Sec 1s are not competing (for Sports), or performing (for Aesthetics) in Term 1- I guess CCA will hit the Sec 1s full swing now/soon.

yes, sec 1 is quite honeymoon compared to upper sec (which is also honeymoon compared to JC, according to my son who is in J1 now haha), but no worries, your boys will adjust to it, just like many of their seniors have! And it will be so rewarding.

Hi, my boy is in sec 2 this year and not doing very well in maths and science. Does anyone have any good tutors to recommend? Those popular with hci boys…


Thanks so much in advance.
