Hi Parents,

Any of your boys in Consortium Council? Is the commitment onerous? (as heavy as an average CCA?) Thanks so much for any insights

I would like to know too. My boy is in sports cca., and also taking 3rd language. Plus he likes to join many other \"extra\" activities :scared: I'm not sure if I should encourage him to accept councillor too.

Councillors will indeed have more workload as they are involved in organising consortium events and school events. School holidays may also be spent going back to school to participate in council activities. however, it is a great learning curve. Speaking as an ex proed councillor who has since graduated from HCI.

Can you tell me which subjects do students do well generally and the paper is less difficult for Pure Humanities and SS ?nationwide
...

The subject that the student is interested in, is the one that he / she will do well generally. The subject that he /she is least interested in, will be the most difficult paper, regardless of what was actually being tested.

That said, Literature is generally tougher for Singapore students because of our system 'structural' challenges and lower level of maturity / life experiences for many of them to appreciate those text.

fully agreed!
