[quote=\"jt2000_star\"]Hi, my ds, currently in sec1, has been offered to go to 华庆班 for acc. Though he has expressed interest, I am not sure if i shld let him do it as he is already struggling his other core subjects. Can anyone share with me what this programme entails? Thanks!

My kid has never been called up for 华庆班, so I can only share from what I know.
I gather that these boys will be asked to help organise Chinese-related activities in school as well as participate in inter-school competitions such as 华文大比拼。 Sometimes they may also attend activities from other schools or 华文会馆。
Since your child is selected, why not give it a try? He will probably enjoy it if he has a genuine interest in Chinese
Since he is only in Sec 1, not to worry too much about him not coping. Just monitor his progress, Moreover, CHS has Bicultural Studies Programme (BSP) from Sec 3. By involving in these activities, he will probably have a good feel if he wants to take up the programme ( which is geared towards the study of Chinese culture ) when given the chance to do so upon obtaining good EL & CL grades at end of sec 2.

:thankyou:[/quote]It is actually called 华青班。＂华族文化青年培訓班＂。My DS is in this CCA. Typically the involvement is about an hour per week where more sharing of Chinese culture is conducted by the school through some outsourcing partners. E.g. Tea appreciation along with some others like calligraphy deeper Chinese history. I recalled during Ptm session, there was some mentioning about added credentials for considerations for the bilateral scholarship program in year 3. In general, if they can cope, always good to learn more.

Hi,


You can consider by first narrowing your choices. Then called the school and asked for their requirement for transfer. Double check with MOE whether there are other requirements that is required. After knowing all these requirements, structure your letter to explain those points. Keep in concise. In general, try until proven otherwise.

My kid is in CHS IP sec 1 this year. Overall the IP programme looks fine. The unique point CHS offers is their flagship world readiness programme which students is exposed to the foreign affairs event. For eg, the students will be asked to debate about a recent event in Hk, etc… Personally, I find this good as it give the students a head start in building the observations and feel on the world since it is changing fast and probably will help them in GP later. The flag ship programme transit to Eunoia JC seamlessly from the 3 IP schools students. Overall, I think the environment is good and programme offers does not lose out to HCI since CHS has several gov scholarships programme. Most important point is similar programmes offered but school fees is more affordable compared to independent schools.
