For RI and HCI, any idea how the Year 1 classes are grouped? Is it random, by T-score, or gep vs mainstream?

For HCI, if I recall correctly, during the OH, we were told that there will class for GEP kids. Those in MS who are exceptional good will be allocated to this class as well.

At least this happens to one of my friend whose son is in Y2 now.

SnoopyMum and ViKids, this is exactly what I heard as well. No more RPD class in 2017.

If DSA via Sports into RI still need minimum of t score 240/250? I thought just 200 will do?

Yes, GEP kids end up in the iSparks consortium in HCI. The rest are just distributed randomly across the other 3 consortiums.
One of my son's pri school's top boy with 27X wasn't even put in iSparks, not sure why.

Anyone call HCI to check when they are releasing the results?

I guess we need prior knowledge to fully understand this because this is my second round of DSA

1) All IP schools will honour their COs if the DSA kid gets T scores of 200.
2) Prior to 2017, RI Sports Class is another label for RPD. DSA kids who scored T-scores between 200 to 240 will join the Sports Class/RPD. This year, RPD has been removed, so, no more Sports Class. All DSA kids will go through the RP leading to A Level and RI Diploma, unless the kids cannot cope with the RP by end of Year 2.

So, where are the sportsmen (students who DSA via Sports but didn't meet RI COP) placed in, this year? In one class or distributed randomly across different classes?
