Dear Students,


I am pleased to share with you that Hwa Chong continues to do very well at the 2011 A-Levels. We have produced 2 of Singapore’s top scorers with 9 distinctions at 13 Academic Units. The 2 top scorers are Khor Shi-Jie and Toh Yong Hui Desmond.

Hwa Chong also shines in the following Sciences and Humanities:

We have produced the best results in 10 years in H2 Physics, with 5 Institute of Physics Gold Medals and over 7 in 10 students scoring Distinction

For H2 Chemistry, we have 6 in 10 students scoring Distinction

Our H2 History students have also done well with 7 in 10 students scoring Distinction

In H2 Literature, we have over 6 in 10 students scoring Distinction

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

For five years running, we have more than 200 students with 7 Distinctions and better.

362 students scored 4 H2 Distinctions, an improvement from last year.

607 students scored at least 3 H2 Distinctions and above, making them eligible for admission to top universities worldwide. This number is comparable to that of last year.

The average University Admission Points for 2011 is 84, comparable to that of last year.

We obtained 100% passes in 26 subjects, an improvement over last year.

We are particularly proud to report that many student leaders, sportsmen and women have done exceedingly well this year despite their heavy involvements in CCA. To highlight a few, we have the following student leaders who obtained distinction in all 4 H2 subjects:

1) Izumi Tan (President of the College Council)
2) Ng Li Ki (President of the Green Council & World-class debater)
3) Ling Han (Captain of the school squash team)
4) Chong Shi Cheng (Chairperson of the CIP EXCO)
5) Yong Yi Xiang (World Junior Wushu Champion)
6) Lee Ying Lin (Ares Faculty Head)
7) Yeo Bing Lin (Water-polo Captain @ High School)
Looi Qin En (ISYF Organiser)

The results this year have been outstanding, and these excellent results would also not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of all our teachers.

Thank you very much.

Warmest regards

Hon

Hi Parents,


Need some advice on the Sec 1 promotion criteria, if a student did not meet the MSG <= 4.0, what will happen to him? Repeat Sec 1 or go to O-level class.

Hope you can share your experience or knowledge on the promotion criteria. TIA

O level class is decided at the end of Sec 2 only. I don't have answer to your question but I would think it is really unfair if one repeat Sec 1 just because he did not make HCI promotion criteria. If the child had chosen to go to a O level school, he would only need to pass to be promoted and not get an average B4 grade as required by HCI.

DS said d boy will still go to sec2 . It will be an advance n not promotion to sec 2. DS ex sec1 classmate got more then MSG 6, parents n d boy was called in to sch for counseling then was advance to sec 2 but d boy was watched v closely by d sch . ER is correct , to go Q class is only after sec2 results r out. One thing I personally like abt HCI is they will give our boys chances they will not judge d boy after one result. They base on merit :hugs: If d boy do well in sec 2 he will be given equal opportunity like any of d boys.
