At Coding Lab, our students' futures are always our top priority. That's why each year, we patiently hold off announcing their Hwa Chong Infocomm Challenge (HCIC) results until their Direct School Admission (DSA) offers are confirmed. This way, we ensure that they can focus on securing placements at top schools.

Now that everything is settled, we are absolutely thrilled to share that many of our talented students have successfully gained admission into prestigious schools such as SST, RVHS, Cedar Girls, RGS, HCI, DHS, Pei Hwa Sec, Woodgrove Sec, Riverside Sec, Bukit View Sec, and more! 🏫🎉

Talk about #girlpower!

Along with these outstanding achievements, many others received Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards, showcasing our students' immense talent and hard work. 🥇🥈🥉
