To be sure you can post this query under HCI thread, I am sure parents of students from that school will answer.

I have the same doubt,I asked nobody answer.

Since my DS did fairly well, I was checking the various options I had. Since I didn't know much abt SAP schools (Now I know much better), I juz called Hwa Chong and was clearly told that those who took Chinese as mother tongue only can apply to HCI.
To be sure, whether this rule applies to all SAP schools, I called MOE and was also told clearly that to seek admission in SAP schools, the child must take Chinese as mother tongue, otherwise NO.

Hope it's clear to you now.

So, if you are an Indian or Malay or Euro-Asian whose mother tongue is not Chinese, no need to even think about the below SAP schools.
1. Anglican High School
2. Catholic High School
3. CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School
4. Chung Cheng High School (Main)
5. Dunman High School
6. Hwa Chong Institution (High School Section)
7. Maris Stella High School
8. Nanyang Girls’ High School
9. River Valley High School
10. Nan Hua High School
11. Nan Chiau Secondary School (Added this year 2011)

Good luck to your DS for PSLE in 2012. Ask him to work hard, there is no shortcut to success.

Yep..It's the fact and reality.

About 95% of these SAP schools are top schools and they are \"Reserved\".

Are u Tamil? - Yes
If so how did u prepare for the Tamil Language?There is only one exercise book available for Tamil at Popular book store - Tamil Oli. You can use that. Besides that you can visit \"Raj publications\" at Dalhousie lane, just near Little India. They sell various schools Tamil Q papers and also some Tamil exercise books.
Did u send ur child to tuition?For Tamil, No
BTW my son in P4 next year.Good luck. You have to worry about PSLE from Pri 5.
