I'm not big on education articles, but given how your last review went and how long you waited for it I'll take a shot at this. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 04:07, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Before I delve into this, there's four tagged deadlinks that should be fixed, and there may be more; check with the tool on the side of this review. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 00:33, 31 August 2012 (UTC)


 * The dead links are caused by a revamp of the official website of Hwa Chong Institution. One link has been resolved and the rest will be done over the weekend. Perhaps you could give the previous reviewer, Thehistorian10, some feedback on his review? Although he missed that and raised several invalid concerns, I believe he was acting in good faith and shows potential as a reviewer. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 04:45, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * All four tagged deadlinks have been dealt with. Could we proceed with the review? --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 16:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Alright, here's the rest of my concerns:
 * There are a good deal more deadlinks that I found: see here.
 * A good number of the online refs need access dates.
 * "With an enrolment of " enrollment
 * "The school enrols an" enrolls. If it actually does contain one l in Singapore then never mind this, but I don't think it does.
 * ", a 400-metre track, a hall," could a hall be made more specific?
 * "of 4 batches of students" of four

Up to the academics section, will review the rest as soon as I can. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 15:18, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Access dates have been added for online references which lacked them. "Enrolment" is British spelling, which is used in Singapore. Also changed "hall" to "multi-purpose hall" and "4" to "four". Working on the remaining dead links. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 15:32, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Here's the final issues I found:
 * Try and keep secondaries consistent in both capitalization and numbering; I see Secondary One, secondary four, and Secondary 1 and 4. All three should use the same format.
 * "There is one international leadership conferences hosted by HCI, the Hwa Chong Asia-Pacific Young Leaders Summit." conference. Also, the sentence feels like it could be cut in half for brevity yet say the same thing, try rewording it.
 * " into its fourth year since its inception in 2006" wouldn't it be more than four years then? Actually, there's a couple spots that use the "in its x year" format; I would remove all of them to prevent unnecessary dating of the article. For "Currently into its 39th year,", I'd just replace with when it was founded.
 * "is a fillip to IT usage in the school." I'd reword, fillip is a bit rare of a word, though a change isn't required.

I'll put the article on hold and will pass when these issues are addressed. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:32, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe I have resolved all issues, including the remaining dead links. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 10:13, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks good now, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 14:37, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
