          My dd’s teacher says every year a few students will fail HCL and end up doing O level Chinese. Is this O level Chinese the normal one ? Isn’t HCL also taken at O level ? If a pupil takes O level Chinese then must he do Chinese again at JC level ? Heard JC Chinese is very tough, tougher than HCL taken at year 4 !


          My dd never did HCL at P6 or P5 … was told there are about 6/7 of such kids in our sec one !!
          When teacher explained the syllabus and what the tests will cover she could not understand a thing. Please help ! Any one please translate here what is required or will be tested on ! Though she goes for tuition HCL but still…
          Composition tests will be one on email and the long one is it narrative ? How to prepare ? Thank you for your wise answers.

                Yes, those pupils who fail their HCL (Grade below C) will have to take normal CL instead of HCL.
                Crucial yrs will be overall grade for end of yr2 and end of yr3.

                Pupils who do not take HCL or fail HCL at \"O\" level will have to do it at JC level.

                Not to frighten u, but to be forewarned.....
                HCL standard in DHS is higher than the std of normal sec schs.
                And the grading of essays will also be stringent....
                eg, marks will be deducted for wrong characters and higher expectation of content.
                Better to be mentally prepared for a big drop in marks at the initial stage, as compared to pri sch grading of CL essays....

                It doesnt really matter whether the child takes HCL in pri sch or not,
                What matters is the foundation/ std of his/ her CL....

                Yes, there are writing of 1 email/ letter as well as 1 narrative essays or descriptive essays ( cant rmb which is for which yr).
                The HCL teachers will tell the pupils what they can expect....

                  It will be after the CCA orientation wk.
                  Think total of 4 choices, 2 UG and 2 PA/Clubs

                      My dd said that there will be a sports trial next Fri. They were informed at the CCA briefing during the orientation. As for other CCA, there's no news yet.
