Very strange CCHMS' website.
Why does it not showing the CCAs? (club&societies...etc.) :? :? :?
I need to look at CCHMS' Infocomm club or Art and Craft Club....
Can we call the school now? :?: -
If your ds get 241+2, you would choose CCH, Nan Chiau High School or Maris Stela High School? Anybody can advise!

Hi TroubledMom! :imanangel:
:congrats: on your ds results!
I would recommend Chung Cheng High School.
My mum's friend's son went in with 240+ score and came out with a L1B5 8 points!-- even though he is in the 4th class!!! :boogie: -
But next year, it will be a new principal promoted from VP in CCHM (not sure how long as a VP in CCHM but formerly a VP from Nan Hua).

Can someone advise me if the Malay special programme in this school a compulsory subject ? DD wants to enter this school but hoe to opt out from Malay language and third language but heard that it's compulsory to take for MSP.
Actually from what i have heard Malay language is compulsory in Chung Cheng Main as a third language.[/quote]
In CCHS, Malay is a compulsory subject, but not compulsory to take Malay as third language. -

Hi! I can answer that question but it seems like I'm about a couple of months late as school has already started...
Well, I'll answer it in case someone else checks this thread at the end of this year ^^
I'm a student who has just graduated from CCHMS. I entered CCHMS with 246 points and a horrible command of Chinese. I used to get C5s and C6s for Chinese in lower sec, but to the end of sec 4 I got B3s and A2s. I eventually scored B3 for my O level Chinese. Compared to the rest of the cohort, I didn't do well as more than half the cohort scored distinctions in Chinese. We also have one of the highest distinction rates for Chinese in the nation, and we are the East Zone Centre of Excellence for Chinese.
The facilities are very good: The new indoor sports hall, technical block and admin block just finished construction in early 2011. Right now, the new school hall and canteen are being built. (Temp. canteen in Indoor sports hall). Technical block has newly refurbished home ec. and dnt rooms as well as chinese calligraphy room and art gallery. Science labs are also newly renovated with snazzy black and pink decor. Along with the hall, we also have a 3 storey grand auditorium which can seat the entire school (about 1600 strong, 1700 incl. faculty). The library is quite big. It has a small 'classroom', and new books come in all the time. We also have a heritage gallery.
The newly renovated 'Old Block' is fantastic. Facilities are definitely good.
CCHMS provides many enrichment courses for students.
From sec 1 to sec 4, students will go to the Tea Room (yes, we have one!) to learn the art of chinese tea ceremony at least once a year.
Lower sec students have 2 compulsory subjects, Chinese Calligraphy and Malay Language Programme. Not sure if it's still like that now. Both lessons were rather 'slack' but the Calligraphy teacher has been with the school for many years and he's good. In my year we also had a traditional chinese medicine talk with demos.
The teachers are fantastic! Of course, there are good and bad teachers in every school. My teachers (save a couple) always made extra effort to hold remedials/consultations. One of my teachers has even stayed back in school until 8pm just to hold consultations with us. SSP (self study programme) is also conducted for Sec 3 and 4 students.
One of the little idiosyncrasies of the school is that for a certain PE teacher, his lessons are conducted in Chinese ^^ and for some of the CCAs with Chinese educated coaches, they are conducted half in chinese, half in english.
School pledge is in chinese as well.
As with teachers, there are good and bad students in every school. But Chung cheng students are mostly very decent and studious..as long as you don't fall into the wrong crowd the studying environment is very very conducive (especially studying in the concourse next to the lake).
School's niche CCAs are wushu and basketball, I think. The other sports, aesthetics and uniformed group ccas also do well (think SYF, national competitions etc)
Chung Cheng does emphasise a lot on Chinese culture (CNY is a HUGE event in the school, as is the mid-autumn festival), and we're affiliated to NYJC.
I miss my school now. -
Good to hear so much about this school. The environment is definitely condusive for learning. My DS just get in this school and he is enjoying his stay there. Yes, for lower sec, they still learn Chinese Calligraphy and Malay language.
