Hi all. There are two classes and and each class has around 20. However, as the teachers are the same, classes are combined alot of the time. Of course the school says the "best teachers" are given to these classes. From what I know, there are only a few good teachers, half of the teachers are not committed at all.

Do you have any evidence/examples to give? the only IP which I know of which has O level class is Dunman high.

Dear all fellow parents, I would like to share with you some of my son’s experience in HCI.

P6s and their parents are told HCI has a smooth journey to JC as it is an IP school. However that claim is a total lie. In HCI, there are 2 class which are "O level classes", students who do not do well in Sec three or Sec four are streamed into this class. Those who enter at sec four are at a major disadvantage as they have to learn 4 years of humanities in a year. The school force the students to only take the pre-assigned humanities. The school disposes of it’s weaker students instead of nurturing them and helping them. the IP stream is not all that good as well. Students who do not do well in the IP stream’s end of year exams are asked to either retain in the o level class or go to a polytechnic. This year, a huge number of secondary four students are doing very badly due to the agonisingly difficult end of year papers, Most noticeably Chemistry and E maths. A lot of secondary four students in my son’s batch are at risk of going to polytechnic because of the school’s ruthless system. From what I see, HCI’s IP system is failing, and they blame it on the students. In order to save their already declining A level scores, instead of nurturing, they just get rid of the worse students, an incorrigibly elitist act.
In all, I am posting this to make parents aware of how scheming HCI is as a school and how they push the blame to their students.
