Hwa Chong Institution (High School)

DecJan:

Was expecting a briefing on that day, but there was none. Basically, we registered, obtained a folder containing booklist, 3rd language letter, giro payment, orientation programme sheet, etc. Then we proceeded to buy uniforms and books. Was surprised that a lot of books are optional (including the higher chinese texts).


As to choosing HCI, our preference is a school with \"chinese teachings\" that will inculcate eastern values in DS for the next 6 yrs. Also, HCI is very established in both the Secondary (former Chinese High) and JC (HCJC) sections.

All the best to your appeal to HCI!

Hi DecJan, my DS will be joining HCI. Hope we can share more.

Anybody knows what time sch usually ends in HCI (CCA & non-CCA days)?

Hi pinky88,
Happy New Year. It's great to hear that our sons will be schoolmates. Didn't you accept DHS earlier? I was busy the whole morning bringing my son on bus trips to and from HCI and also from HCI to the MOE language centre at Ghim Moh. Is your son taking 3rd lang? You do know the schedule for 4th to 7th Jan, don't you? If not, you can see the time-table at HCI's webpage.

according to the list in the folder given on 23/12, you are to wear a PE T-shirt with khaki shorts and to bring an extra set of PE attire and shorts, as well as a water bottle of at least 1 litre. Maybe bring along a pen and a notebook in case you need to note down something.

So I don't need to bring all the chemistry, bio, maths, chinese and whatever right? :?

I don't think so. Do you have the orientation time table? If not refer to HCI website - it also shows the programme for 7th Jan. Sleep early and have a great day tomorrow getting to meet new friends.

Hi, why they can only know their class on the 6th? is there a selection process during the orienation?

Sorry, I have no idea. Initially I also thought they may do a selection during the orientation. But when I look at the programmes line-up, don't see anything to base selection on. Unless they are looking at personal qualities to group the kids :? I think they may already have the class listing done.
