Hwa Chong Institution (High School)

Special congrats to my DS! It was not easy for him, at all. 2 years ago, he came back to Singapore from France after spending 2 years and half with me there. At the return, he had to fight on every front to catch up: English, Chinese, Science, and even Maths, his favorite subject. After an entrance test, he was \"thrown\" to the lowest class in his school. But he managed to climb to the best non-GEP class within 1 year and half. For all that, he has worked very hard (most of the time with his mother). I can also witness how heartbreaking it is to see a kid in big stress and even had hysteria for two times. Believe me. So in no way his success in HCI DSA is achieved by luck. Will cook more good food for him the coming weekend.


I know here is not an appropriate place to do so. You can blame me!

[quote=\"verykiasu2010\"]HCI DSA result for Sec One is out by smail

My son received waiting list 1. Can anyone kindly explain what it means?

There are those who get HCI DSA but will go to RI after if they have good PSLE results. That's the case of my son who prefers RI. So your son has great chance to enter HCI. Congrats anyway.

PS. Personally I prefer HCI to RI. But my son will make his own choice.[/quote]Upon accepting HCI's DSA, you will no longer be able to participate in central posting based on PSLE results. However, you will have to do a school transfer if you decide you want RI after the PSLE results are out.

Congrats on your son's achievements!

PS. Personally I prefer HCI to RI. But my son will make his own choice.[/quote]HCI is a very good school. (I'm promoting ) My son was offered both RI and HCI last year and he stood firm that HCI is the school for him. He spent a lot of time talking to HCI students prior to that and was very comfortable with what he's seen and heard of the school. 8 months on, he's very very happy with the school and so are his parents. It is a very down to earth and caring school. My son came back during his 1st week in HCI and told me that the principal told them to be humble and to remember their roots and not to forget their parents and family.

Yes, I think it is important that your child is comfortable with and likes the school of his choice.

I am another happy parent with DS in HCI sec1 this year. DS is given a lot of opportunities in school, and most importantly, the school culture suits him very well. So he is happy and I am happy! :lol:

2 unrelated questions? He's 12 and apparently classes of all years in the school are organized by grade. My daughter, on P4, is in an \"average\" class. She has much less fighting spirit than her bro.
