Sorry i can’t answer questions about any subjects. I am really hands off because i am out of the country mostly. But i know his English is strong and excel in Lit because his "ang mo" Lit teacher mentioned this in his progress report something like "very strong cognitive argument ability…" something like that. However I do read his teachers’ year end comment and do a review with him.

The selection process took about 3 hours. It included group interviews in which random questions were asked (such as talk about a book you really liked), as well as a group activity to work together and present to the interviewers on the topic posed. There were also other activities to test the child's response and thinking. IMO, it was a unique and thorough selection process. Humanities is a new DSA domain in HCI (it only started last year), and there could be refinements this year. Let your DS be himself and enjoy the process. I know my DS did . All the best to your DS.

They are free to choose their subject combination at the end of Sec 2, it is not a must to take up humanities program. However, for DS’s batch, all the DSA humanities students are in the student journalism unit where they will contribute articles for some of the school’s publication.

May I know how big is the DSA intake via humanities? Maybe your son would know from the no. of friends who DSA and are currently in the journalism unit. Thanks in advance for sharing.

Hi hazeline, I’ve pm-ed you.

Hi hi


Wonder anyone has tips on coping with higher Chinese? My DS did not study HCL in p6. He didn’t just do badly he failed the subject. What concerns me is that his Chinese teacher does not seem worried. Sorry but am I the only one that feels the teachers in HCI doesn’t really care about the students whether they are coping or not... I was shocked when the teacher mentioned if really can’t make it can go SIP. It’s only the first year and the teacher was not very encouraging :gloomy:

I thought it’s supposed to be an environment that will help spur his interest in Chinese language but sadly I can tell he hates it even more now.

I am making a comparison here because I have another elder Son from another IP sch and the Teachers there were always keeping in touch with parents, caring and made efforts to keep us updated on his progress. :nailbite:
