I would go for CCHMS. My child is currently there. Overall very good I would say. Went to CCHMS' as well as AHS' Open House last year after knowing the PSLE results (My Child Got 253).
Comparisons :
CCHMS :
1 Male Principal(Effectively Bilingual) with 3 Vice-Principals (2 Females & 1 Male)
AHS :
Both Femal Principals (I saw only 2 and we did not enrol, so I am not sure how many in total
)
CCHMS :
Nice Lake
Air-conditioned Classroom During Lessons
Strong Parent-Support Committee
Nice and Well-Ventilated Cafeteria (AHS, you got to walk down a flight of staircase and rather small cafeteria)
New Renovation( Do Not Be Misled By The Appearance From The Main Gate's View)
Not Really Associated With Any Religion (AHS, Includes 1 Hour Bible Lesson, I Think? Please Verify It Yourself :roll: Note : It Was Not One Of Our Consideration Factors As We Are Free-Thinkers.
My Child Did Not Have Higher Mother Tongue Foundation In Primary School But Is Able To Keep Up With Classmates Since Starting In January This Year. Credit To The Teachers!
This Is What I Can Think Of At The Moment. Hope This Info Is Helpful! -
Hi all, my dd is going to CCHM next year… Can anyone advice what is the arrival and dimissal time please?
THANK YOU -
Hi ! Just curious that since CCHM is a SAP school, does it mean that classes are grouped according special and express stream ? During my time in secondary education some 20 years ago, SAP schools used such grouping. Any difference now ? The cut-off points for CCHM last year was 239. So what is considered as SAP "calibre" then ?

Hi there ! What you mentioned is very informational. During the days leading up to my daughter's interview for her DSA selection, my opinion of the school was rather dated. I managed to squeeze some time to accompany her to the interviewI would go for CCHMS. My child is currently there. Overall very good I would say. Went to CCHMS' as well as AHS' Open House last year after knowing the PSLE results (My Child Got 253).

This Is What I Can Think Of At The Moment. Hope This Info Is Helpful! and I must say that I was very impressed by the serenity of the school compound. The students there were very conscious of themselves and greeted their teachers by bowing their heads. I did not have the chance to tour the school compound so thanks for the insight. FYI, my daughter received CO for her DSA to CCHM. So I looking forward to her secondary education in CCHM. Cheers !

School starts at 7.20 except Monday at 8.20. Dismissal time varies from day to day around 2pm to 3pm. CCA days will end late abt 5 or 6 pm. Most CCA is twice a week. My DD went in with 240 and NO HCL.

Last year's cut-off point was indeed 239. During then, I happened to be at the G.O so I overheard the staff-in-charge telling one mummy (who wanted to pull her daughter out) that there are 100 over students on their waiting list and pointed to the thick stack of documents behind her! So to sure sure get in must have at least T-Score of 240 last year (Dragon babies' competition :)) Every year there may be a difference of 1 - 3 points. Oh ya, during orientation, I saw the mummy who had wanted to pull her daughter out came with her girl. What a wise choice that she opted to stay put! Btw, I commented on my previous post that the sch principal is effectively biligual which I intentionally added in cos one of the mummies that I know told me she chose CCHMS because during open-house, she heard the principal's speech both in English and Mandarin and was rather impressed! She had wanted to choose another popular school closer to her home but the moment she heard the principal's speech in English, she nearly.....oops haha better don't continue. Oh ya, Kancheongpapa asked about Special and SAP.. which I believe is only SAP left. CCHMS in a way \"group\" their students according to their \"calibre\" They have a couple of classes with a certain percentage of students who has music background and another with Science & Math Talents (Both Math & Science with A* I think) etc etc... If really that is their way of catergorisation, it is considered rather a good approach in my opinon...But frankly, once your child enters the sch, any class that he or she goes to is really not so important anymore as enjoying the school's conducive environment in great learning is!
Cheerios! -

I took the liberty to contact the CCHM general office and I got word that there will be an open house on 16th November 2013. Looking foward to that !

Hello Kancheongpapa, am glad you managed to get the Open House date. For a relaxing view of the lake after touring the School, walk to the end of the Concourse on the right facing the School, you will get to see the fishes swimming freely and many a time, tortoises swimming out of the water, resting on the built-in lamps catching a glimpse of the surrounding. Very entertaining for some of us
Just a few days back, many other schools like, TKPS, TMPS, GPS, Red Swastika, TMSS, NASS etc etc joined CCHMS in celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival. There was a whole stretch of Fun-filled activities like Beans Art, Lantern Decorations, Balloon Sculpturing, Origami, Mooncake-making demo, mooncake-tasting and other activities.. The Sec ones will be invited to join in the fun. It will be your child's turn next year, cheers! -

Seems to me the traditional chinese-based schools place a lot of emphasis on festivals like moon-cake festivals and CNY. Good to know the ways of such celebrations especially with the onslaught of modern events such as the recently concluded F1 motor-race. Also, I found the theme in some schools to be too modern or hip-hop. Is this their way of glossing over the lack of academic achievements ? I hope I am not too biased.
Anyway, I have been on a steep learning curve since the days I started to fret over my daughter's DSA to CCHM and of course the upcoming PSLE exams. And she has 3 younger siblings for me to lose my sleep over their academic results for the next few years. Just press on ! Ha !
