Hi,


My DS is passionate about aerospace engineering and so we are seriously considering HGSS for S1 next year. I realised it has a niche programme for aerospace and so want to get more information about this school.

Any information from parents of current and/or past students is welcomed and especially for their niche programme.

Thanks in advance.

Hi


Does anyone stay near Bukit Gombak and ur child is taking O-levels? I found an MOE certified teacher who gives e-maths group tuition, we still need 2 more students to start the class. The price will be cheaper than 1 to 1 or tuition centres.

Let me know if anyone is interested, I hope to start class before holidays.

Hi,


My son is interested in the Aerospace Programme too. This should be for a selected group. How does a child get into the programme?

Would like to know more about the school too in terms of curriculum, long hours, CCAs, etc. Any information is helpful.

Thanks!

Hi,


My Son is a student here. Their niche programme or ALP is Flight & Aerospace and all students, irrespective of stream, undergo this programme in Sec 1&2.

They also have some unique flight CCAs like the Singapore Youth Flying Club, NCC (Air) and Air Scouts.

The school is a STEM focussed school, so have many combinations for students who are interested in maths and science, especially in Sec 3/4. Hours are mostly 1:50 pm each day (except Friday when they end at 12:40 pm) except when you have CCA. CCA happens on Wednesdays and Fridays (depending on the CCA). The school parent support group is very strong and helpful.

If you have specific questions, let me know and i’ll be happy to answer.

Thank you for the useful information! It is helpful in my decision making. I take it you are in PSG.

[vividlaurel]

Glad this helps! Yes, I am in the PSG!
