what is the earliest reporting time? and latest dismissal time?

Students are expected to reach by 7.20 on a normal school day. Lower Sec students are dismissed at 1.30pm but tests and CCA may result in students being dismissed at 6+.

Hi,

I’m newbie. My DS will be at HCI next yr too. Can anyone advise other than the school bookshop, where else can we get the school uniform? thanks.

My DS from mainstream accepted the HCI CO via DSA (SMOPS). Today, we received a call from HCI to ask my DS to go for GEP Interview. I think it is because his PSLE result is quite good 27x. Can any HCI parent with similar past experience share what this interview is about? What would they ask?

to assess him for placement into iSpark consortium which is meant for GEP kids!

Congrats for having done well !

Any idea how's the traffic like along the road from Botanic Gardens station to the school during term time in the morning? Thanks!

passable

need to cater for crawling traffic for vehicles turning into St Marg at Queens Road, traffic turning into King's Road for NYPS, turning into Coronation for NYPS, and then vehicle turning into Duchess Road for HCI (yr 5/6) before your turn to turn into Tan Kah Kee Drive

Hi Yum Yum, according to Dr Hon, the curriculum are the same for all consortiums. Just that iSparks students will learn 40% deeper than the rest.
