Thanks protex.

May I know wat is infoComm studies? Any exam for this or just project work? And wat is the significance of scholastic MSG? Tia

It's essentially Computer Studies - Programming, PhotoShop, Flash etc.

To show a more all-rounded MSG since it includes Projects and Oral-related components.

Hi, may I know what are the 3rd language options offered at sec 1 and are the classes conducted in HCI?


Do students carry on with the 3rd language up to higher secondary or do stop after a while?

How much pocket money (excluding transport) is reasonable for sec 1 students? Thks.

Thanks

French, Japanese, German, Malay, Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia

Only Malay is conducted in HCI.

Many students quit by the first semester of Sec 1. Only those who are really passionate continue.

Yes[/quote]Thanks for answering my post again.
Am keen to find out more abt hci especially isparks. The information that I have gathered so far is life in hci is quite stressful. Is it true that students are being assessed even on daily classroom participation?

ProteX, I read that only Bishan language ctr conduct German, does it mean HCI student will travel to Bishan if he choose German? I've also read that many boys quit half way, am thinking to tell my DS not to take up 3rd language upfront. With this, can save time on travel ling, & can hv more time to cope w the sch work. May I know what's the benefit of taking 3rd language?

If many students quit after the 1st semester, others may do so as well. Will then need to consider the 3rd language option carefully if it's optional.

Need not worry and the boys just survive.
U interested to send your ds to HCI? Is he from GEP?
