Your kid is pretty good in Chinese, would you like to share how can he do it? Parents speak mandarin to him or he likes to read Chinese books or TV drama?[/quote]
Yes we are a Chinese-speaking family. -
The SHHK schools start hcl at P1 for all pupils. Only pupils who can’t cope are advised to proceed to cl only from P5 onwards…

Perfect for SAP schools! Choose one that is close to your home and you are all set!

Cherishnews will need to be close enough to one, ie less than 1km, survive a balloting before the kid is all set. -

To some extent, I think that’s true (offering more than the average school).
I assume the two other (non-SAP) SHHKs are \"better than most\" (famous sports announcer phrase)? Perhaps \"offering more than the average school\" is another way to put it...
Few non-SAP schools can offer to start all their Chinese students on HCL in P1. Even fewer primary schools can afford the same programs as the SAP schools. Being affiliated to one of the largest and richest clan in Singapore, I think they are more well-funded compared to other primary schools. -

Point on, on the advantages of being in a SAP school. Depends on which side you are looking in from, it could be a plus or a minus.

Sorry what is SHHK?

SHHK : Singapore Hokkien dialect huay guan association.
Is for parents, whose father or mother is a Hokkien. As long as either spouse is a Hokkien, can join SHHK. -
dear mummies and daddies, a quick question. We have a boy born in 2017 and we are considering where we should send him to P1. The two schools that topped the chart was of course ACS Barker and Catholic High. We can qualify in both schools within 2B but really cracking our head hard where to send him.
We have seen great differences between behavior of the kids between 2 schools. Of course we understand that the kids behavior cannot be totally linked to the school as home parenting also does a great deal to their behavior. So we are lost! We have initially set our sights on Cat High but during this covid period, we have came across many Cat High boys that have somehow wavered our thoughts if we should really do that.
Any one has any comments, please hit me up. Thank you so much!
