Hi parents,

I have queries on the notes used by the students for exam preparation. My son is in Sec2 and did not do well for certain subjects e.g. Science, Geography
1) Do they use the notes prepared by themselves or borrow from their friends? My son told me some of his friends borrowed from others.
2) I understand from my son that the textbook does not cover certain topics taught. How do the students get more comprehensive notes from these topics? I noted that some are selling notes on Carousell. Any ideas if any of you have bought and these notes help or not?
3) Thought of getting him a tutor too. Any recommendation for a private one or small group tutor?
Thank you!

Hi, we r thinking whether to put either HCI as our 1st option and trying to find out more about HCI. Can anyone advise on the
1) school hours ( i.e. what time need to report to school?) The travelling time is approx 1 hour from my place so need to estimate the timing to prepare for school.
2) number of CCA required to take up for their students
3) approx. number of days in a week to stay back for CCA

If a child joins a SAP school, will taking a third language benefit or add an disadvantage (i.e. need more time on travelling to language centre and learning the language)

If my ds choose Spanish, which centre does he go to? How often and how long per week? Are the lesson conducted on weekdays or weekends?

TIA for the advice.

1) starts at 7.30 except Friday 10am
2) 1 cca
2) minimum 2 days. For sports, usually 3 or more.
4) Spanish is at Newton only. Once a week, Shd be 3.30-6.45 or 3.15-6.30. HCI designated 3rd Lang day is Thursday

Checkout the third Lang thread:

Hi, can anyone advise which centre is conducting the third language lesson for Spanish? How often per week and how long per session? Want to estimate the amount of time for this extra lesson.


Thanks in advance.

Hi, I would like to have an idea what time does students in HCI need to report to school in the morning? Lives in Jurong area so door to door travelling time is approx. 1 hour or slightly more.
Pls also advise what is the number of CCA days per week and what is the minimum number of CCAs to take up? Thanks in advance.

Flag raising on Monday is at 7.35, and at 7.25 from Tuesdays to Thursdays. The school usually encourages them to be 5ish minutes earlier so reporting time if I’m not wrong should be 7.30 and 7.20 respectively.

On Fridays there’s a 2 hour timeslot in the morning, used for exams and project work stuff and whatnot. If there’s something on, they need to report at 8, else school starts at 10 for them

Number of CCA days depend on individual CCAs. Most UGs and Clubs and Societies and Performing Arts should have 2 days per week, sports usually is 3. All CCAs should see a spike in training days nearer competition, with some training 4-5 times a week. As all CCAs are expected to be competitive in Sec school, HCI only allows everyone to have one CCA, and it’s a compulsory requirement from MOE to have at least one CCA
