[quote=\"AMAS\"]Hi,

Comparing VS and DHS
Anyone got information please advise
My DS is stronger in EL than MT but he seem keen of DHS.
DHS is further away then VS from the place we stay and scare we will struggle for the MT in DHS.
Thanks
AMAS

Please advise
:imconstipated:

AMAS, if you're worry abt MT, I can tell you that VS's MT is not as easy as well. I think, most of the HCL in sec is not easy. My cousin's DS is very strong in MT during primary school. Now he's in VS, he only manage to score 50+ for HCL during his first year in VS.

Hi BrownBelt,
Thanks for your advise
By the way how are the sch respond when your cousin's DS get 50+.
I don't want my DS got to much pressure on HCL
Thanks
:thankyou:
AMAS[/quote]AMAS, this I'll have to check with my cousin. I didn't ask much on it.

Some of the listed schools are all IP (eg: RGS).

I need to understand on the 3rd language policy


1. is it has to be decided when PSLE results are out. can we join after joining the secondary school.
2. is it a paper that students have to pass to get o-level/a-level/diploma.
3. can they just join the 3rd language just for getting to know a new language.
4. for joining European universties is it a must to know one of the european languages . what is the advantage ,

1. is it has to be decided when PSLE results are out. can we join after joining the secondary school.

You will know which third languages you're eligible for when you receive your PSLE results. You will be required to indicate your choice during the S1 posting exercise. Results will be made known to you when you report to your secondary school in Dec. No, you cannot take up the third lang if you didn't opt for it during the S1 Central Posting Exercise.

2. is it a paper that students have to pass to get o-level/a-level/diploma.

No.

3. can they just join the 3rd language just for getting to know a new language.

Yes

4. for joining European universties is it a must to know one of the european languages . what is the advantage ,

To be eligible for consideration for the IP programme at SCGS, SNGS I think you have to meet a minimum COP of 251/252? Then the actual COP is dependent on demand and number of vacancies.

I think his/her kid going to NUSH, in which case, even if the preferred 3rd lang is not offered by MOE, the kid still have the option of doing it in NUSH provided NUSH is offering that particular lang in their inhouse foreign lang dept. But I understand that cost may be high, perhaps around $100/mth. Still, since the kids usually donch need much tuition, the saving can be used there.
