Hwa Chong Institution (High School)

Does anyone know how many % of kids in iSpark are mainstream kids? Will the MS kids be able to cope in iSpark considering the rest are GEP? Worried if my DS can cope or will feel left out….

And also how different is iSpark in terms of the programmes etc.

For 3rd Language Japanese, does anybody know whether need to buy all the books prior to 1st lesson? I am inclined to wait for the teacher to advise which books are compulsory and which are optional. These boxes are rather expensive and since many students tend to drop the subject within the 1st year, it is a waste if the books are not utilised.

I’ve PM the remaining who asked for the group chat. Not sure if it went through, somehow some messages still in Outbox.

Hi
Can u pm me the group chat for HCI too. This morning when I received the notification that my son is posted to iSpark, I am also quite worried. He is not from GEP and I worry that he cannot cope :stompfeet:

How much pocket money do you give your sec 1 kid?

Is it a daily or weekly allowance?[/quote]

Bake rice is $2.50. The other food ranges from $3+ to $4+..
I gave weekly allowance, good to let them manage their own money.

Hi, my child got posted to HCI and we just got back from overseas.


we did not managed to book a slot at the school bookstore as all the slots seem to be full. Can we walk in to purchase? Are the metal buttons and socks available in the bookstore?

Due to prices of food had gone up, assuming that on average,
per meal costs $3.50 without buying any drink from the school canteen but bring your own water bottle,
and sometimes
students need to stay back long hours for Cca or go over to MOELC (3rd language), or stay back after school to discuss school projects with fellow team mates,
probably from Monday to Friday,
for daily allowance,
u need to cater say, $10, per day ?
