Therefore, listen to your son. He should be the one getting worried, not you. FWIW, it seems that he has already made up his mind, so what’s the concern? If he can score 252, I’m sure he’s intelligent enough to weigh the pros and cons on his own
he has not think of JC yet.. i'm worried if i make a decision for him now later he blame me for life. -
Hi Kaydenmama,
Phtthp is right. Pls call NaN Chiau high tmr to find out more. Another piece of news I just heard, it seems NC is offering some scholarship thingy for those high scorers too? Sorry I don’t have full info on this…
Cchm don’t have much homework in Sec 1 this year, one main grouse of my frens actually: too free. Yet very strict with length of skirt, hair, punctuality etc. Is your Son ok with such ‘rigidity’, or known as ‘strict discipline’ if I were to view it positively? Some boys in our school are very ‘sianz’ over this now after one year, as boys tend to bochap more…
And if you choose cchm, I think you would need chinese tuition more than English tuition, frens kids had been failing Sec 1 chinese papers or nearly fail kind. And they have hcl distinction for psle somemore.
I agree that children likes to blame us now if we make the choice for them. But my counter reaction is: if I let u make the choice, you must be prepared to be scolded by me if you slack and did not do well in future. Some of my frens even let the children sign an agreement on this and add in those handphone usage clauses too haha. Bottom line: children must also bear responsibility and consequences for their choices.
As for cchm being affiliated to nyjc, depends on how you see it and your assessment of your child’s ability. Some see it as a plus point to have something to fall back on. But if your Son is those 250 range, I have seen many examples proceeding to vjc or even hci and rjc too after o levels.
I have nothing against cchm, just want you to find out more to make the best choice that is acceptable for both parties. Cheers! -

He likes CCHM a lot. That is reason enough to go there. While distance is one factor to consider, liking the school a lot (or not) should be first priority. My kid door to door is one hour. Her classmate, door to door 2 hours. I asked the classmate, wah so far why you join? She said “I like the school A LOT”. Another one also about 1.5hrs, I asked her, she said “came to Open House in p5 and and p6, both times also feel very at home”.
Hi, my boy got 252 for his psle. Between Chung Cheng Main and Nan Chiau High which is better? My boy likes Chung Cheng Main alot he said has chemistry with the sch. On the other hand, Nan Chiau is opposite my house only. Hope to be able to hear more opinions from everybody. Much appreciated. Tqvm.
And afterall, it is CCHM. Not some other school. NC, if I remember from my era, was a so so school. My uni friend, scored 202, went to NC. -

Which cca does your children join? i read from school website sports end closed to 615pm. They will reach home around 7:30pm latest do they still have time to do their homework? I likely will let him continue English tuition but looking at this can only have tuition on weekend.bbbay\" post_id=\"1948653\" time=\"1574575412\" user_id=\"175278:
I live in Punggol. My children wake up 530am, leave the house 610am for CCHM ( taking MRT). They turn in around 9pm nightly. So far they have no issue with the early wake up times. Probably CCHM has relatively less homework. CCHM’s school notes are good, commented by their primary school tuitor.
One area I like about CCHM is they inculcate value like resilience, pride and honour in my children. These are good values for them to acquire in their formative years.
1 of them is in sport. I see they spend less than 1 hour doing homework and it’s not everyday there are homework. -

Hi kaydenmama,
I’m also living in SK, deciding btwn CCM & NC. I told my son the pros & cons for both schs, in the end he still decided CCM as he may hv Pri sch class/sch mates applying for CCM & he doesn’t mind traveling. Since he’s the one going to study for next few yrs, I let him decide as I don’t want him to blame me if I choose NC for him as it’s closer to home. I don’t want him go NC then unhappy & blame me for life.
