The sec posting book that primary sch give to the students - if the school in that book just states ‘chinese’ for mother tongue - it means Higher Chinese is not compulsory right? On the contrary, if under mother tongue it states Higher Chinese, then it is compulsory - am I right? So for school like Nan Hua, for eg, Higher CL not compulsory?

So for school like Nan Hua, for eg, Higher CL not compulsory because it just states ‘Chinese’ for MT?

Is Nan Hua a SAP school? If it is I would think that HCL was compulsory. -

Nan Hua is a sap school. But then how come it shows 'Chinese' under mother tongue and it offers HCL as well. Whereas for RV, it only shows as Higher Chinese (there is no Chinese offered at all). I think they should make it clearer in the book that they gave.Verysuperkiasu:

Actually not ALL SAP schools have HCL as compulsory. But...they don't offer any other languages as Mother Tongue option, that's all. That's the very very main difference. So if your child takes Malay, Tamil, etc. You cannot apply to the SAP school under S1, even if the child was in the affiliated primary school. It has to be done under *appeal* - directly to the school during S1 option period.

Altho' for those doing chinese, most WOULD take HCL just simply to get chinese out of the way so they don't have to do it in JC. -
I heard from my cousin that this year PSLE was very easy…

Sigh...this is a very tough choice. Whether to send ds to a sch which offers HCL or not. He is not very good in Chinese. Prelim got 82 below average in his class. He has not done HCL at all in primary sch. I heard students from RV were appealing at Commonwealth becoz they were 'kicked out' of school as they couldn't get 60% for HCL. Very stressed leh - don't know whether he can cope or not. Of coz if he can pass HCL - so much the better - no need to bother at JC. But what if he ends up getting less than 60% for HCL then he may have to settle at a school which is not very conducive.
