Hi, may i know CHS mandarin subject is it compulsory in PT3 or SPM?
Reviving this thread that was updated 3-4 years ago.
Does anyone have any recent experience and insights with
Catholic High School PJ:
1. Are Science and Mathematics still taught in English according to the DLP? And would the SPM examination papers be available with an English option?
2. Is Chinese Literature (華文文學) still offered as a subject for SPM? (Note:
Chinese Literature, not Chinese Language - they are two (2) different subjects, and the latter is a compulsory SPM-examinable subject for SMJK's).
3. One of the forumers above mentioned that "
the standards have dropped", is this true and has it been a significant drop?
4. Do most CHS students attend tuition at TTC just outside the school, and for what subjects in general?
5. Any comments regarding their extra-curricular activities? I was told that their uniformed groups are
very active.
Chinese Language as a compulsory subject all the way till SPM is actually what I want for my kids, which is why I am keen on CHS. In terms of language proficiency, SMJKs probably achieve the best balance, and I gather that if one completes SPM Chinese Language with a decent grade, you will have achieved a very good proficiency in the language to utilise it in a professional context, and the standard is pretty comparable to that of the Chinese Independent High Schools.
