Was given HCL option form yesterday, to qualify for P5 HCL, P4 overall score must achieve the following before you can continue to take HCL in P5

HCL > 50%, EL > 70%, MA> 70%, SC > 70 %, SS> 50%

No option form in dd's school.

I asked school's HOD during gep briefing last year. Cannot opt out of HCL.

Hi parents


May I know the purpose of staying back after school other than for CCA? I understand some schools do and some don’t, thank you.

If school couldn't fit the entire curriculum into stipulated school hours, then no choice but to extend to after school hours.

Compulsory to stay back at least twice a week in dd's school.
Sometimes up to 3 days a week with the 3rd on ad hoc basis, school will inform us.

And for students with remedial, they will need to stay back extra days.

Thanks, Can I assume schools that don't stay back go/teach faster, coz they can squeeze everything during curriculum time?

Really no idea. Only know own school, didn't compare another school curriculum.

However, I like Nanyang's timing the best, spreading the extended hours over entire week instead of staying back till 2+pm or 3+pm on certain days. At least more rest time, can be home by 2pm if live reasonably near?

Nanyang would have been my preferred choice. My dd1 is not in Nanyang though, difficulty in transferring dd2 together with dd1. Nanyang is way too popular!

Anyone knows how many boys from Catholic High got in?


I lived in the North and have shortlisted CH as our first choice. DS will need to take school bus, go to after school care & etc.

Anyone keen to exchange more info, please pm me.
Thanks.
