I know that to all my fellow Primary 6 students out there in our little red dot, we’re about to go through the stressful process of choosing a secondary school!
I know there is not much that can truly help from this little post, but I’m just giving you a little advice that I got.
The first factor you want to look for, it courses. If, for example, you love music, is there a school that may have a course such as the Music Elective Program?
The second, is the distance. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard that a million times, but it MATTERS. In secondary school, CCA is no longer optional, it is compulsory. School days may end as late as 7 p.m., then you still have to go home and do your homework. Unless you can manage to cram it on the train, bus, or on a car, i’d say just choose a school nearer to you.
Third, culture. This is the place you will be spending your next 4 (or 6) years in. You have to make sure you are happy with the atmosphere and culture at the school you are going to. Of course, reading about the school wouldn’t get you this, so I’d recommend going to the school’s open houses.
The final thing I think is important, is that, is this the school YOU want to go to? Or the school your parents like?
With that, I wish you guys all the best, and good luck on your journey!!!!
