@bbbay i see. Thanks so much for sharing! So, it is true that SAP IP schools hold their IP students to a higher bar in HCL, compared to students they admit via JAE.

I also heard that for non-SAP IP schools, students just need to obtain a pass for O level HCL and they can opt out of H1 Chinese in Yr 5/6.

You’re right that every school seems to have different requirements for this (wonder if MOE has issued any guidelines), will find out more directly from DC’s preferred sec schools!

Hello all, sorry if these questions have been answered before but I am having difficulties navigating this new KSP forum …appreciate if I can get some advice/clarification on HCL in IP school:

1. Is HCL only compulsory in SAP IP school as I heard that some non-SAP IP schools, e.g. TJC, offer both HCL and CL to their students?

2. Is it true that while a minimum score of D7 in HCL at O-level will exempt students from H1 Chinese at A-level, this is only applicable to non-SAP schools? Heard that some SAP IP schools such as NYGH/DHS require students to score a B4 or better in HCL in order to opt out of H1 Chinese.

Thanks much in advance!

Hi, has anyone received email from Dunman High, Temasek JC or Cedar Girls for Round 2 interview for Concert Band?

Thank you!

Received round 2 interview for Temasek JC. I thought there’s only one round for Dunman High since their email for Round 1 stated there will be audition and interview together. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Anyway the audition + interview for Dunman High was just a short one, don’t know is that good or bad.

@rosm oohh… may i check when did you receive the notification for Round 2 interview for TJC? To confirm, that is for DSA Concert Band, ya?

As for Dunman High, yes it was a short audition + interview for my girl too, that’s why we thought there would be a 2nd round .

@fhlmama-0 yeah, all the best to our girls!

@Answertruth thanks for clarifying. May I know which school you are referring to?

@fhlmama-0 I see. I am not quite sure but according to my daughter, the previous interview was pretty short and the questions were mainly posed by the Conductor, so we thought there is going to be a Round 2 .
