between RI and HCI -
i)
which Sec school do you think shows more concern and is deemed more proactive in developing moral character values in Sec school boys ?

Character comes first, before academic excellence.

at this point, we're grimly reminded of RI ex boys .... Kong Hee, Ren Chi monk (Shi Ming Yi), TT Durai. Which school make more notorious news, at front line news ?

ii)
which Sec school has richer, deeper history ?

Please refrain from making such bias remarks of a particular school, which may mislead parents here, especially when they are trying to make sound decisions with their kids, at such a crucial moment..

Both schools are great schools, in their own ways.. Parents have to help their kids make decision based on many factors, like the kid's strength & interests, the school curriculum, special programmes, even distance from home..

Not forgetting, of course, there are many other good schools too, beside RI & HCI..

:goodpost: ..... Exactly ... :skeptical:

High? 50% wa. From the RI point of view, 50% who receive both RI & HCI will give up RI and go to HCI. What is the reason for giving up RI then?
Perhaps RI less focus on the variety of Chinese programme,like drama, debate, .. to help train the students in their Mandarin, what else?

Have attended HCI briefing today, the chance of converting WL1 to CO is 100% as per principle. Based on past experience, nearly 50% CO receivers will choose RI eventually. The chance for WL2 is very high too, 98%~100%, depends on how many students give up CO.

I'm quite surprised at the high numbers too.[/quote]

I think it's high because they know that nowadays, students are applying to many schools instead of just 1-2. I know of one who have at least 4 COs. HCI is one of them and the child has no intention of going there. He was encouraged to try out for the DSA by the parent. They viewed the DSA processes as a platform to practice \"interview and GAT/HAST testing skills\". :? To me, it's a waste of time, effort and money for everyone involved.[/quote]


Precisely why the system needs fixing to ensure more certainty to applicants and to minimise the wastage of resources and time.

I do not want to add to the pages, so I am just going to congratulate everyone at the same time. I share everyone's happy news on the results of the DSA applications - CO and WL. :celebrate:
