Not supposed to from what I hear…

Really depends on how much stress you give them I guess

Heard many good things about this school! Always pass by the school, looks very big and fun!

Usually my kids have lots of after school activities, all busy with cca, so you could say they’re a little too occupied

Does anyone have any recommendations for airbnb around London? Big enough to accomodate family of 4 and not to far from the city?

Hello,


I'm a new parent here on this forum.

I'm curious to know what are the chances for my daughter, who is taking her O level in a neighbourhood sec school in Sin Ming road, to enter Hwa Chong Institution via DSA. Here are a few of her achievements:

- Vice Head Prefect (Prefectorial Board)
- Head Secretary (St John Ambulance Brigade)
- Sergeant (St John Ambulance Brigade)
- Chief Commissioner Badge (St John Ambulance Brigade)
- Class Secretary (School, class-based)
- 2005 track-n-field national ranked top 16th in 100M B division 100m sprint
- Model Pupil

She has also won various awards in leadership and represented her secondary school in chinese composition writing competition, chinese riddle competition, didn't won anything but represented sch.

Any idea how much is her chances to get into HCI via DSA (JC) - Leadership?

Her academic is just average. Strong in Humanities, weak in sciences.

I need your input on this.

Thank you.

Rgds,

Son went for DSA once, if I've learnt anything, sometimes it's not about how much talent you have but how 'ok' your grades are. Some schools just want to meet the DSA intake criteria without sacrificing their overall academic standard.

Been making my own bread for awhile until my bread making machine broke down, and they don’t sell it anymore. Anyone has any machines to recommend? Took me awhile to find a machine that didn’t give the bread a strange taste.

Haha daiso… one of the most useful things I get from here are the dehumidifiers. Use them to keep my wardrobes from smelling strange.
