Hi,I need to ask about the subject combination.This is urgent as I will be choosing it soon.


1)what kind of subject combination can let you go back home earlier?i'm not a study in school kind of person so i prefer going home earlier.

2)can you appeal to do a partcular subject if you got b4 in it rather than b3?

Hi,

Are you in Sec 2 this year? The school will normally organize a briefing for students on the choice of subject combination for upper secondary. This is the link to last year's briefing slides http://hssec2to3.wiki.hci.edu.sg/SlideCSE

But do bear in mind that the school makes changes from time to time, so they may do something different this year.

Has anyone tried using the school wifi? My son said that it doesn’t seem to work…

Hi,


can anyone share about the UF in HCI?
I read from RI thread that the some of the UF groups in RI can be quite slack. How about HCI? Is it tough & tiring?

Dear Mumies,

How come Hwa Chong only have 1 PE lesson per week. For those art CCA the physical exercise is not enough. Do they have one afternoon sports for those art CCA like RV?

Yes, 1 PE lesson per week is too little. So, I encouraged my ds to choose sports CCA. He is interested in badminton and table tennis only. However, he stands no chance as the requirements are extremely high (according to the school portal), exclusively for school teams only.

badminton - must show high potential level to represent skills, no social club

table tennis - mostly DSA students

So, he brings table tennis bat to school to play during recess and after school. He said this is the most popular sport among his friends.

For CCAs, most likely he has to choose club and societies as he is not interested in UG.

Does he allow to join two clubs? If both clubs are having the same timings e.g. Tuesday and Friday, can he attend club 1 on Tuesday and club 2 on Friday? Fat hope???

8228,

DS has a classmate who bring table tennis bat to school everyday to practise too. Maybe your DS & my DS are classmates.
