You will not be asked to do HCL if you do not qualify.

CHS is a government-aided school (not Independent), IP and O level track pay the same school fees as other government-aided schools. The principal clarified this point during the recent open house.

My boy is in the top 10% of the PSLE cohort. He can opt for higher Chinese & Cat 1-3, third language. However, he did not do HCL in primary school. We want to let him do HCL in Sec 1 next year but worry he is unable to cope with it.

The class boys split to different classrooms for CL / HCL during Chinese lessons.

Much will depend on your son. If it's his desire, he'll cope but it's a challenge so pls do not look at initial results. Mine was in a similar position not having taken HCL at pri level. Managed to pass overall at sec 1. Just encourage him n he'll be ok. The teachers are a committed bunch and will notify u if necessary cos there'll be constant assessment all year round. He's in good hands at CHS.
