RI or HCI
-
verykiasu2010:
the waiver at year 5 to do CL if there is a HCL pass at year 4 is an MOE policy, applies to all JCs and all IP schools, i think
Does that mean that RI does not have such a stringent promotion requirement at year 4?24by7mum:

HCI stringent promotion requirement and HCL requirement to waive at yr 5 might have scare away some students ...
somebody can confirm this ?[/quote]You are right, MOE requirement is just a HCL pass at year 4. But HCI's own requirement for exemption in Year 5 is at least a B4 for HCL taken in year 4. I don't know if RI follows the minimum requirement of MOE or has its own more stringent requirement. -

[quote=\"Bumblebee135\"]I went through the dilemma with my boy two years ago. After some counselling by various one, my boy finally chose to go to RI.
Amony those that we had spoke to, one of them was his chinese enrichment class tutor who strong encouraged him to go HCI because my boy was strong in Chinese, she thought that HCI would be a better enviroment for him. Another person we had dicussed with was his Maths tutor who was an ex-RI teacher. Of course he asked him to opt for RI because of the RI cultur and atmosphere which he said was truly a place to groom scholar.
We had no regrets at all for making the choice. RI does offer that kind of excellence environment, be it sports or academic. The right \"attitude\" is just there.
Some may think that it could be very pressurzing. Well, my child is enjoying every moment of it.
The myth about RI boy only good in English but weak in Chinese is not true. The Chinese standard is actually quite high for those who opt for Higher Chinese. The boys would defintely have no problem to get A1 for ther GCE 'O' level exam.
So my advice is, if you boy has the \"attitude\" and the \"ability\", don't waste it.
The principal of RI said all RGS girls and RI boys will be guranteed a place in Year 5. -

The NYGH girls will be joining HCI in year 5, it is unlikely they impose different requirements for NYGH girls.

That's why I would be very surprised if NYGH girls need to get A2 when HCI only need to get B4 in Year 4 for CL exemption in Year 5

Oh i see so it does not matter if you do not do well at all. You still can get promoted. This is the BEST GUARANTEE ever! So all the kids should aim for RI and RGS and forget about NYGH/HCI/DHS etc :lol: -

RI will encourage students that score below B4 for HCL to take their H1 Chinese in Year 5.
