I actually think they will check becos sometime after we clocked the 40 hours, we receive email from Ben saying that we are one of those who finish already. So maybe the office staff will tabulate also.

that's not too good, as space wasted. Did you went inside the library yesterday? i was very impressed with the chinese layout and tea corner.

from what I can see of this school, it's pretty focussed on chinese culture and all leh. If you think it's too chinese, sure you dun want to consider?

I saw the 'museum' corner. pretty but what's the use in a school? (oops, probably kena tracked already).

Yes, I have the feel that their chinese is way stronger than english. I was amazed during the outing to Bt Timah that the teacher in charge use chinese to communicate instructions. (okay, call me sua koo can?)

So do brush up on your kid's chinese before she goes in - at least won't die of shock. I've sent my kids for chinese enrichment and chinese S&D classes; also trying to ensure they read chinese books regularly. Now doing the si wu kuai du with them.

honestly, somehow my target schools for my kids were all SAP schools. After getting reacquainted with the language, I belatedly realised it's beauty and superiority....oh well, at least I'm still alive to make up for lost time.

HW is a SAP school so it is a given that it will be very into Chinese culture and values. We speak Mandarin at home but B3-B4 standard, so going to send her to Chinese camp during the hols. If interested, there's a thread in the forum about Chinese enrichment classes.

Enrichment classes are all fine and good. But remember, we are talking about a language; I feel it's important to provide an environment where our kids live in, accepts and hopefully even loves chinese.

My chinese also B3 standard. I'm trying very hard to pull my socks up. Somehow my kids do not like chinese. Have bought tonnes of books to kick start their interest and now in the process of acquainting them with those books. Not an easy process, but I like to go the hard way.

Gosh, you guys are active posters onto this thread. Sure hope to see you guys in the school. then we can yak and share more stuff about what's going on. At least the school will not stay a blackbox (sorry, but that's what I feel cos many things I still dunno about this school).
