LIM Hui Yuan recently made history by becoming one of two students at Singapore’s Hwa Chong International School (HCIS) to achieve perfect scores of 45 points in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).
The HCIS is an international centre for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). The total score is 45 marks for six subjects: Language and Literature, Basic Language, Humanity, Science, Mathematics and Art.
Every year representatives from the HCIS will come to Chung Hwa Middle School (CHMS), to select and interview qualified students for their school.
Lim Hui Yuan, 17, expressed gratitude to her family and teachers for their support, saying that the study system was very different from the ‘O’ Level syllabus in Brunei.
