Hi,

Do sec 1 students need laptop ? Does the school arrange for vendors to sell them to students at discount ?

Thanks.

Hi,

During the briefing to parents (I can't recall the timeline, sometime during term 1, I think), we were told that that students don't need laptops. I haven't hrd DS mentioning about vendors selling laptops via the school too. However, some students have their own laptops for project work, for convenience, but it's not compulsory.

Hi, does anyone have any contact for private mini van operators to HCI fr Serangoon / Lorong Ah Soo area?


I have called the Gen Office and HCI doesn't have official bus operators. However, it kindly provided a contact based on feedback from parents but the bus uncle is not able to provide the transport as he mentioned that there's a shortage of mini vans due to high COE.

Thanks :xedfingers:

Hi. When we were at HCI, there is bus transportation booth at the canteen. Somebody also handed out name cards in front of the auditorium. Here are the numbers found in the name card:

Hi

First day
Boys ---- 10 units + 240
Girls ---- 10 units

Second day
Boys ---- 8 units + 192
Girls ---- 11 units

11 units ------ 8 units + 192 + 42
1 unit ------ 78

Number of children@first day ------- 20units + 240 ------- 1800

Best wishes

2) on the first day of a camp, there were 240 more girls than boys. On the second day, 20% of the boys left the camp and the number of girls increased by 10%. given that the total number of children on both days remained the same, how many children were there at the camp on the first day? Thanks!

Hi, erm... do you mind explaining why do you take 6x + 12 = 40 as 40 is the distance apart and not distance travelled? tyvm.
