OOps I think formal HC boys are going to protest against you Ha..ah............

You mean 'former'?

Even that, I think they are too lazy or incapable to do.

Wahahahahaa ...

Just to add on. I think HCI has some morning run regime that requires them to be in school by 6.45am or ard that time.

So if u live far from there and getting there punctually is gonna be a problem, do reconsider.

My child is facing the dilemma - HCI/RI/NUSH - To put it simply, it just seems to be a \"waste\" if he does not choose RI, which is seen by most as the top sec school. I know this comment would attract a lot of feedback and please do so for I need enlightenment. For NUSH, my worries is that should he lose passion in Math/Science midway through the course, then what's exit path? HCI - have to compete with PRC kids, am I right?

Hi,
I can't help but wish to intrude. My husband and his best friend are from HC and they are mediocre in their achievement at best. In fact, my husband is a die-hard gambler and his buddy can't last long in jobs. And they are always complaining about their jobs.

However, they are always proud that they WERE from HC.

It thus gives me a very lousy impression of HC. What 'zi4 qiang2 bu4 xi1', 'xue2 yi3 zhi4 yong4' (school motto) - rubbish!

Now I always tell my daughter never to date anyone from HC. 'Ignore HC boys, but say yes to ACS or RI boys.'

My son is in HCI, I am not aware of this morning run regime. It could be only for specific group of students. 7.20am is the morning assembly time.

My son has classmates living in Woodlands, Pasir Ris, Tampines. School buses do go there. And the furthest is every morning coming in from Johor Bahru. This group from JB will not be marked if they are late.

by the way, HC and HCI are different. One is international school, that means, got money , willing to pay the school fee, can get in.


Actually , HC was not a fantastic school many many moons ago. All my three brothers were from HC, and they were not bright students. And my neighbours (more than 25 years ago) were accepted into HC also their results were no good.

But I think HC has changed over the years, and now it has become a school that is almost on par with RI.

I think partly due to HWJC too.

chinese high-hcjc has been re-branded to hwa chong institution, therefore HCI.
