We live in Yew Tee. Finally, we find the shortest way to HCI. My DS takes bus from Woodland road, there are two buses (961 and 170) aheading to HCI. My DS take bus by himself today, it only takes 25 mins. It is much faster than bus 67. I would like to share this information for the HCI parents who live in Yew Tee.
Thanks for the info. What about the time for him to travel home after school (1:30 pm) & after CCA (around 5:30 pm)?
I'm staying at Choa Chu Kang. It is not a problem for him to get to school via 67 from interchange but my ds tells me that the waiting time for 67 after school is long & the bus is crowded. -
RE: Hwa Chong Institution (High School)
Appreciate advice/ recommendation from seasoned parents on purchase of textbooks & resources for my ds moving on to Sec 2 next year on the following:-
a) What text books NOT to buy as they will not be used? (History activity book -Singapore from Settlement to Nation was not used at all & it is such a waste)
b) What extra reference books/ assessment books to buy that are useful/ helpful? (Some subjects require extra reading/ practice that will greatly help in the understanding & test/exams preparation) - we were totally clueless this maiden year.
c) Any other tips/ advice for Sec 2s to be? No more honeymoon year?
Thanks!! -

Dear Parents,
Perhaps you might want to take yr arguments to another post instead of the HCI post?
To avoid mis-info, HCI High School has a long tradition of annual project competition where the where boys from all levels compete from a long list of extra-curricular subjects like inventions, future trends, Resource Mgmt, Maths, etc.
The do get to choose their own team members. Only the Sec 1 might lose out because of unfamiliarity with new cohorts.
My sec 1 ds enjoyed this project. I left him to work it out with his team mates (lots of last minute work but was impressed how they somehow managed to put the project together). I believe he has gained much from this experience of working with his team mates & under a teacher mentor - project management, presentation skills, independent thinking, software skills, problem solving, learning to accept feedback, rejection, disappointment etc etc. These are important life skills that can't be learnt via normal classroom lessons/ exams. Valuable! -

The school will issue hardcopy notice to parents regarding icomp. You will probably receive it in due time. Can check with your son too.
Thank you! -

Hi, based on my understanding, parents can given access to the Intelligent School Portal (ISP) and the iComp. Student's results wil be posted on the iComp at the end of each term.Anothermom:
Can someone advise which are the portals that parents should access for info and to monitor ds' progress? What is the difference between Intelligent School Portal and the IvLE Parent portal (Have parents been granted the access for IvLE?)?
Thanks!
The IvLE is accessed by the students to view notes and homework posted by the teachers. I know of parents who access the IvLE via their son's ID and password.
The portals mentioned here can be accessed via this website http://www.hci.edu.sg/portals
Hope this helps.
Hi! Tks- I didn't even know abt iComp. Have we been given the access?
