But i felt the 2 week orientation is too long.

1 week is probably ideal.

According to the VP, the oreintation grouping are not the same as the class. Just wondering how they group the class then. Bc my ds saw his class indication as S17, so it should be the same as sec 1 Class no 7 or G…

Oh, he saw a class indication? We didn't see any.

CHS secondary classes go by Sec 1-7, 1-8, etc...

Saw only 330 students on the board. So class size should be quite small?

Oh, the 2-weeks long CHS orientation includes CCA trials and the like + the regimental-style BURST camp facilitated by Outdoor Adventure Leaders (Sec 3s). The purpose of BURST is to allow the students to adapt to the fresh environment and allow them to make new friends, get in-tuned, etc.

And yes, OGs are not the student’s classes. OGs are drawn out according to alphabetical order.
There should be about 30-35 students per Sec 1 class up till 1-9 (the sports class).

Hahas, some sort of 'honeymoon' period before the real stuff kicks in.

I remember a councillor told me during CHS Open Day that the class classification system is based on ‘strengths’, e.g. you’ll find boys with A* in the same subjects in the same class.

Yea, for our year, 1-1 was the 'English' class and 1-3 the 'Science' class.
