Nan Hua High School

[phtthp]

On PSLE results released day that actual day itself,


did u receive the eligibility info from MOE, informing that u qualify to study 2021 Sec 1 HCL ?

If you didn’t,
then check with Nan Hua Chinese HOD, ask whether without this eligibility letter, can Nan Hua still give u the chance to study Higher Chinese?


If HOD reply Yes,
then quickly take it up !


But if HOD reply No, Sorry,
without this MOE eligibility letter, one cannot do HCL until reach the end of Sec 1 journey time frame then re-examine again check how have u fared in your bu-hua progress so far, then u ask HOD, what are the criteria to start Sec 2 HCL ?

Two questions,
to ask Chinese HOD,
in order to formulate the qualifying criteria within Nan Hua school are -


1) minimum,
what must I score for my year-end Sec 1 bu-hua ?

Is it minimum 70 or 75 marks upwards


And


2) minimum,
what is the overall percentage expected I must achieve in my other core, essential Sec 1 subjects comprising (English, Maths, Science , and my best Humanities subject ) ?


Wish you all the best !


Sec 2 is the last boarding train, to hop onto the train to learn HCL, just in time.

Why "just in time" ?


Because


come Sec 3,
if you are a HCL student, you will be sitting for the O-level (bu-hua) National exam

And

in the Following year in Sec 4,
then take O-level (gao-hua) exam


According to SEAB,
all
Upper Secondary O-level curriculum track students can only take

either O-level (bu-hua or gao-hua) exam, within the same year.
But , cannot take both exam in the same year.
These are clear instructions from SEAB, given to All Secondary schools’ Chinese Department, in Singapore.


Conclusion


If you are able to make it in time to start learning HCL from Sec 2 onwards, then you will be


1) in time to take O-level (bu-hua or Standard Chinese) exam, in Upper Sec 3


And


2) in time to take O-level (gao-hua or Higher Chinese) exam, in Sec 4


However,
If you missed the Sec 2 chance to learn HCL , means

3) you can only sit for O-level (bu-hua) in Sec 4

And

4) continue to take Chinese in JC1, assuming you are heading for the JC path & not Polytechnic venue

Thank you so much. I didn’t receive the eligibility letter but the official MOE website stated that the top 10% of PSLE cohort is eligible for HCL? I’m very confused as I am in the top 10% of the PSLE cohort.

What did you get for your HCL in PSLE?

If you don't get to take HCL in Sec 1, yes, you will still have chance to take HCL in Sec 2, based on your Sec 1 results.

I didn’t take HCL in primary school.

I got an A for Chinese. Would it be recommended if I ask the school through email on the minimum results during sec 1 for me to take up HCL?

If you didn't take HCL in PSLE, you need to score A* for Chinese and be in the Top 10% of the cohort in order to be eligible to take HCL in secondary school.

At the end of Sec 1, after your results are released, your Chinese teacher will notify you if you are eligible to take the selection test. If you meet their requirement in your selection test, you will be allowed to take HCL in Sec 2.

I thought it was a) Top 10% or b) Top 30% and i) A* in CL or ii) Distinction/Merit in HCL?

I also would have thought Nan Hua High put everyone in HCL in Sec 1 regardless of PSLE score/HCL background given SAP status (fully acknowledge this could be wrong)?

Who can take it
Students in the top 10% of the PSLE
Students in the top 30% who score an A* in Mother Tongue Language, or a Merit in HMTL
Schools will also have the flexibility to allow students who do not meet the above criteria to offer HMTL, if they are assessed to have exceptional ability in MTL and are able to do HMTL without affecting their performance in other subjects

No, different



Nan Hua operate in the same identical manner, as St Nick and Catholic High, but in opposite contrasting manner from Chung Cheng High (Main), although all these 4 schools are SAP.

What’s their difference, amongst these SAP schools ?

Because

Chung Cheng High (Main) Chinese Department is kind, overided all their students HCL eligibility. That is, whether CCHM students received the Moe eligibility letter or no Letter, never mind, is all right, just let all her Sec 1 students take HCL. No letter ? Never mind, come on board, welcome u to join us for HCL. This is the stand and decision made, by CCHM School.

But,
Nan Hua, St Nick, Catholic High ! How do these three SAP schools function, operate ? You received from MOE any HCL eligibility letter, or not ?

If Yes, received, good, ok, can proceed to take Sec 1 HCL !

If No, didn’t receive, Sorry hor, one year later, at the end of Sec 1, come back to see me again with your overall Sec 1 results (report card). We will re-assess you, one year later.

Different schools :
different stroke, in how they want to handle HCL
