Think rich then get scholarship. Use other people money. That's what the rich are good at. It starts from young.

 

[Mystyque]

can u clarify the occasions?

I don't recall exactly the details because it's literally been a few decades. In my secondary school, one of my male teachers came to school in his former JC uniform. During JC, there was also an occasion when my teachers worn the school uniform. In the same JC, my class tutor also once worn her secondary IJ uniform because she lost some bet to the class.

 

[hachi]

most of our local school ... dont allow these type of shoes.
only plain white or plain black.


maybe the branded companies need to start producing all black and white series.

This HCIS not HCI

Thought under same family of HC

 

[spyder81]

Raffles and HCI. since when ACS belonged to that group? most of the students there won the life lottery at birth though.




Read HWZ Forum Rules!

That’s a sweeping statement also. Seems like many hate acs based on what the media portray their school and students.

If you are not from acs don’t judge as a whole. Acs also have normal family students. Those in media are the same percentage as those in raffles and HCI.

 

[Medicated Oil]

Really is wealth bursting out.

First of all, are you aware that the school in question here is actually HC International School, not to be confused with the prestigious HC Institution (HCI), right?

My earlier post was simply pointing out that HCIS is not academically on par with HCI in any way, nor is ACS for that matter.

Next, what 'hate' are you referring to? just speaking based on facts.

Raffles and HCI (which includes RI, RGS, NYG, and HCI) have consistently excelled academically, with much lower cut-off points for entry and significantly better A-level results than any other schools in Singapore.

As for ACS, they might have politicians, bankers, and other notable figures among their alumni, but that's irrelevant when we're strictly talking about academics.

 

[smellyfish]

so HCIS and HC no link?

no link. except branding. ACS, St Joseph also have their international school brands, which is separate from ACS independent, and SJI.

For Hwa Chong Itnernational, school fees are

Year 1 to Year 3,
S$30,520

Year 4(IGCSE) Year 4 to 6
S$34,880

And these fees go up every year.

These schools are the back up plan for the district 10 kids who did poorly for PSLE.

 

[Wu-Han Clan]

these international schools are using local brand names for making money bah and just like

United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA)
Singapore American School (SAS)
Australian International School (AIS)


And many don't know this but Singaporean citizens are not automatically allowed to enroll in international schools without permission from the Ministry of Education (MOE). The MOE regulates the enrollment of Singaporean students in international schools to ensure that they are not bypassing the local education system.

so your statement "These schools are the back up plan for the district 10 kids who did poorly for PSLE." is not entirely true,

However, there are some exceptions. Singaporean students may be allowed to attend international schools if:

1. Their parents are expatriates: In some cases, Singaporeans who have dual nationality or whose parents are foreign nationals may be allowed to attend international schools.
2. Special circumstances: For example, students with specific academic or personal needs may be granted permission.
3. Foreign-born Singaporeans: Students who were born overseas and are returning to Singapore might also be allowed to attend international schools.
4. Foreign school curriculum: If the international school offers a curriculum that is not available in local schools (such as certain foreign diplomas or curriculums), there may be more flexibility.

Scholarship for elites?

The 3 local international schools are actually called “privately funded schools” and were set up in 2005 with blessing from MOE. They are not the same status as the American school etc. Local students do not require consent from MOE. See below extract from ACS International’s admission policy statement



Singapore Education System Context
Government schools in Singapore are governed by the Ministry of Education (MOE). Nearly
all Singaporean students are required to attend MOE schools, with exceptions approved by
the government if a student has returned to Singapore after being educated for a substantial period of time in an overseas curriculum. In 2005 the MOE allowed the establishment of Privately Funded Schools which receive no government funding and are
not governed by the MOE. They can enrol Singaporean students without an exemption from
the MOE. There are three of these designated schools in Singapore of which ACS (International) is one. These schools must follow the Singapore Bilingual Policy which
requires all Singaporean and Permanent Resident students to study a Mother Tongue
Language (MTL) with Chinese, Malay and Tamil being the official mother tongue languages.
Other languages can be approved through application to the MOE. Failure to meet the required MTL standard for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents has implications for their entry to and their graduation from Singaporean universities.
