Anglican High School
-
Sec 1 : 100% white
Sec 2 onwards: 70% white.
I’m looking for car pool or sharing of transport to AHS from North-East. The school bus from our place is 6am. I thought it’s too early.
Anyone can help, please PM me.
Thanks. -
Thks for info. Quite surprised that the registration was brief today. Was shocked to see the number of girls queuing for uniforms. Wonder how they are allocated to their classes when sch starts.
-
it’s said the boy to girl ratio is about 1 to 2…
I was shocked that there was no principal’s talk or other welcome activities during the registration! I’ve heard most other schools do have some activities… -
Me too, was expecting to hear the principal talk, or at least other activities such as info on CCA. But nothing… very disappointed.
Also, seems that more girls and boys.
The whole reporting made us feel whether we’ve made a right choice…
-
Yes quite disappointed… Feeling the students were not respected & valued by the school!

Same for last year. -
I still think positively of the school. The student councillors were helpful and they seem happy and proud to be part of Anglican High. Just curious, does anyone know what will they do for Science, surprised that there are no Science text in the book list.
-
I was told for Sec 1, it’s chemistry and biology. For Sec 2, physics and chemistry (or is it biology)… can’t remember the exact science subject, but it will be modular. School will design the materials, thus, no textbooks are required. Likewise, for Home economics, design art etc. no textbooks but school’s own material. I hope there will not be too much of additional cost that we need to pay
Does anyone know when each CCA will be carried out on which day? I thought we could know the schedule on the reporting day. Now we can’t plan our schedule -
Think it’s good to have notes and materials designed by the school. Some texts that I happen to see in popular bkstore was very general. Looking forward to CCA selection too. Btw is your child a DD or DS…my is a DS…

Timetable for various CCAs can be found on the website (not sure if it's still available now though)
Compulsory CCA days is Fridays except for some, usually sports CCAs.
On the average, a student will have 2 CCA days though some like concert band and choir have it 3 times per week.
If I'm not wrong, next year is SYF year so CCA practices will be more 'hiong', more intense.
I got two daughters and a niece, all from Anglican. One is sec 4 this year, one this year in sec 3, niece is sec 2.
My older daughter was in Chinese Orchestra. It's usually okay unless if there is concerts or the like then practice will be very intense.
My younger daughter is in Girl Guides. CCA days are on Tuesdays and Fridays. It's generally okay as well until she became a senior (Sec 3).
My niece is in Girls' Brigade. I'm not very sure but sometimes they have 3 CCA days per week, sometimes 2.
All the UGs are very hiong but they have very good reputation amongst the schools. All are not for the cao mei zu (strawberry group, that is, children who are weak and keep complaining). My daughter gets very angry and annoyed when people compare or mix Guides up with Girls' Brigade.
Girl Guides is more focused on survival skills like building gadgets (clothesline, luggage rack, shoe rack) and outdoor cooking. In a way, it's more rounded than other UG since they do a variety of stuff.
Girls' Brigade have foot drills on Tuesday and Worship (?) on Friday. I'm not sure, I think it's like that. Girls in Girls' Brigade are very tight, as with all other UGs. But my feeling is that the girls in GB have better relationships with each other than other UGs. But then, that depends on your child's level. My daughter tells me that their seniors bond was very very strong and still is now, even after leaving Guides. So it really depends on the level and students.
It's much easier to get a position in UG as compared to other CCAs.
Performing arts have more opportunities to travel abroad and are more 'slack' than other CCAs. I heard Choir went to Vienne for competition and Chinese Orchestra went to Malaysia once. Not sure about other CCAs though.
Sports have intense CCA practices during holidays cause it's near their competition season.
Your child will stay back one day for AHS CCA showcase so I don't think you should worry.
And there will be Sec 1 orientation by the student councillors
