Hi hi, what do they test for bilingualism? Must the mother tongue language be Chinese? Is the interview in English? Thanks in advance.

We attended Bilingual interview today, didn’t have other audition.

Good luck to all of the kids that were at the NUSH camp and hope to make it there! Should be a quick turnaround for interview (if needed by school). Otherwise, it seems like about a month or so until the results are sent out (school will likely be one of the earlier ones to release).

Hi hdbmummy,

Echa was nominated by peers with teachers' approval and Eagles was by school.

DD was school cca junior team leader at P3 and was supposed to continue to be cca leader for senior team. However, being Head prefect by Term 3 at P5, she had others replaced her as cca leader so that each child is given a chance.

Thanks for sharing! Indeed different process in different school as both ECHA and EAGLES are teacher nominated in my kid's school. They also only select junior CCA leader in p5 instead of p3 or 4.

Having said that,
after we analyzed, looks like he got the approaches wrong in the Physics experiment, as his two approaches didn’t depend on mass of the object in the context. Nevertheless, fingers crossed!

Total,
how many experiments did NUS High camp test ?

1) Tested one Physics experiment, or also included testing (Chem + Bio) experiments, as well ?

Or

2) P6 short-listed candidates can choose which experiment they want to do, out of (Physics / Chem / Bio) tests, available ?

Anyone went for HCI selection yst, any feedback?

Yes, my son said so too, but after going for the camp, he say he think his chance is so slim, the kids in his group are so much more knowledgeable than him and have a lots of certs.. 😂

But overall he enjoyed the experience, he mentioned it’s very eye opening..

Ha ha ok , my son was also uncertain, he said he was uncertain after the first round, but this round he was more uncertain apparently, but the experience seems to have sparked interest in several aspects of science

My son also said the same thing. According to him, they did some experiments and group work. Oh ya, he said some kids did not turn up for the camp so some groups have less members.

After the camp, he told me to wash his tshirt and keep it properly. Can see that he really treasure the tshirt.

My son told me they were told there is around 500 kids shortlisted for this selection camp and only 160 places.. this years seems to be bigger group and lesser places than past years of 400 kids and 170 places from what I gather from past posts..
