Hi, I am considering to place my son in HCI. I understand that this is an IP school & it is very competitive. In the event if my son does not do well in IP route, can he switch to do O levels instead but remain in HCI? At which level can he switch? Sec 2, 3 or 4?

I have the very same concern as you when we are considering HCI for our son.
If the boys dun meet the mark at sec two, they will be placed in structured IP in sec three. If they do well in sec three, they will then continue their IP program in sec four else they will then move on to sec four o level class.

[quote=\"manifits\"]Hi parents,

May I know where to find resources for Julius caesar other than sparksnotes and cliffsnotes?
Thanks because my son is weak in english

Hi manifits,
As the class exercises and tests will be mainly on passage-based comprehensions, the sparknotes / cliffnotes will more than suffice. Your boy just needs to take down notes in class and go through the text at home. Also, they will not cover the entire book.

Hihi, may I know what is sparknotes / cliffnotes? where can I get them?[/quote]You can google for it. They are on the web. You can find spark notes in public libraries too.

Hi all,


I like to check if it is necessary to keep the textbooks and notes esp for maths n science from sec one?
Will the students be tested chinese oral in sec two? So as to prep them for chinese o level in sec three?

Thank you.

IMO, keep the notes for maths n science. The science textbook will be used for reference the 4 years, so do keep it.

I think the boys will be tested for chinese oral in sec 3. In sec 1 and 2, the oral communications and chinese debates are impt and these are graded.

The boys will only be taking the O-level HCL paper in Sec 4.

:thankyou:

Hi Hwachie,

Thks for yr response. So can I conclude the students themselves dun have to go n look for external organizations to clock their cip hrs as school will have enough opportunities for them to clock the 6 hrs external cip hrs? (there is a requirement that the students have to clock at least 6hrs of external cip hrs)

Yes, don't need to...but of course if have even better lah

:thankyou:
