Daughter want to continue netball in secondary school and Nan Chiau doesn’t have netball as CCA
Perhaps you can consider Nan Chiau High too due to distance factor? A classmate received confirmed offer for both Nan Chiau high and chung Cheng for arts- related DSA in 2019. In the end she chose Nan Chiau due to distance factor I think, as staying in Sengkang too. Just sharing.FantasyLandDreams\" post_id=\"2049087\" time=\"1638017968\" user_id=\"105816:

Hi parents sharing with you my experience and what I know about it:
Since you stay Sengkang, CCHM not convenient.Taxi-Driver\" post_id=\"2048979\" time=\"1637993109\" user_id=\"34486:
Attended this morning YouTube channel introduction by the school principal and decided to Reece with daughter by MRT and walking to the school rear gate. The traveling time from Sengkang to the school is about 52 minutes
Wondering will she be able to cope with the distance for the next 4 years .
Noticed the compound area is run down
Imagine, everyday (public transport),
1) your daughter have to catch a bus from your house to Sengkang mrt.
2) take North-east (purple line mrt) from Sengkang, down to Serangoon mrt Interchange
3) then from Serangoon mrt interchange, walk across the travellator to the yellow Circle line, take to Darkota mrt station.
4) from Darkota, walk to school ? Walk how long ?
Goodness !
All these changing buses and changing MRT line, walking around, is going to tire out your poor daughter.
Ask your girl to try out 1 week first, see if she can tahan. Not to mention next 4 years ahead, everyday to and fro.
Pls choose another school, nearer Sengkang.
=========================
Another important thing !
Actually, why you want her to choose CCHM ?
Because of the Affliation to Nanyang Junior College, after her O level ?
But,
even if your daughter were to go to some other Secondary school, as long as she
1) can clear O-level (HCL) at end of Sec 4
And
2) can score 2 Cca points,
that's it ! She already can score maximum 4 points discounted liao !
Moreover,
there are so many other Cca, besides netball.
Be open minded to try other types of Cca.
Convenient distance travel is far more important than Cca (eg. netball for your girl) for Secondary school students
Because of
1) The frequent number of times they need to stay back after school, every week
And
2) the heavy burden of studying so many subjects (8 or 9), in Upper Sec 3 and 4. Time is so important, esp . in Sec 4.
Imagine.
If go to school take more than an hour, including waiting for buses, waiting for mrt train to come, time needed to walk to school. Means every day, u need at least 2.5 hours just for travelling, how much time have been wasted ? After that, reach home, need to rest too, right ?
My child are in CCHM and I stay In Punggol. After CCA they reach home closed to 8pm. After dinner they do their homework and get to sleep before 11pm , latest.
My child told me before, he knows a student , after reaching home, bcos of tireness, sleep right away without taking dinner. That student will wake up around 10pm , to take dinner and do home work. And turn in during wee hours. And having to wake up early next day for school and feeling tired due to sleeping late,so the vicious cycle continue.
I ask my child why that student is tired after reaching home but he is not. My child told me bcos that student was not focus while doing homework, playing with phone. Thus works till wee hours and the not enough sleep causes the tirednesses when reach home next day , sleep a while and only start doing homework late at night, and the play on phone continue, and the cycle continue. -

Basically, try obtaining additional info and to have a better sense of the chances from it. -

CCHMS does not allow appeals if one gets into their first three choices. One student 94 for Math but 73 for Science, unsuccessful for triple science.

2007 batch (sec3 2022) seems to be the smartest out of the 4 batches.
School had a tough Math and Science paper for their EOY exams, and raised requirement for triple science to >75 for both Math and Science.
Subject allocation released already, many who wanted triple science ended up in double science.
Looks like this batch will do very well in O Levels.
So,
CCHM opened how many Triple Pure Science classes next year, 2022 Sec 3 (born 2007)?
open 1 or 2 classes ?
2)
How about those 2021 Sec 2 students who have scored either
A1 (Maths) and A2 (Science) or vice versa,
A2 (Maths) and A1 (Science) ?
If this group of students were to appeal for Triple Pure Sciences, will they be successful in their appeal ?
After all,
A2 (70 marks & above) also not easy to achieve, esp. when you mentioned that CCHM school had set tough year-end EOY 2021 Sec 2 exam papers. -
I will be sending my daughter in the morning and she will go home by herself after school , in this regard is it still worth to choose CCHM in terms of academic and understanding of Chinese culture ?
-
IMO since u stay SK, Nan Chiau just opposite, I think you should consider because
1. It’s COP is same if not slightly better than CCHS, so academic wise, I don’t think it will be comparable. Only difference is no JC affliation
2. it is also a SAP school so you can still have the appreciation of Chinese culture.
3. Time spent travelling is cut short by so much. Your child and you will definitely appreciate it when there is late dismissals.
However at the end of the day, it is what your child wants. So long the child is ready to live with the choice that is made. -

Wah !

CCHM so strict !
73 (Science, A2) is only 2 marks away from A1 (75 & above) !
not easy to get an A2 -

Suggest try visiting the compound of both schools. Your daughter will then have a real feel of the environment and the vibe. It is very different between CCHM and NC.
