the 50 are made up of two groups : 40 or 40+ are P5 kids -- these are the candidates for this year's camp, the remainder are P6 kids who were the winners (about 10 of them) of first batch of 42 campers last year. This year they act as group leaders.

the criteria is being good in english and higher chinese and cannot be too bad for math & science

the kids are selected by the primary schools which are in turn selected by HCI to participate

that means : the kids must have been doing well in EL/HCL consistently up to P5 when the selection by primary school is made, and the school must be partners of HCI....anyway, looks like the pool of potential candidates is very small.

it is a bilingual camp, the kids are being observed .... and HCI keeps emphasising that the kids must continue to excel in other subjects, in order to be called up for DSA final test

Thanks for the quick message.

There are those who get HCI DSA but will go to RI after if they have good PSLE results. That's the case of my son who prefers RI. So your son has great chance to enter HCI. Congrats anyway.

PS. Personally I prefer HCI to RI. But my son will make his own choice.

Special congrats to my DS! It was not easy for him, at all. 2 years ago, he came back to Singapore from France after spending 2 years and half with me there. At the return, he had to fight on every front to catch up: English, Chinese, Science, and even Maths, his favorite subject. After an entrance test, he was \"thrown\" to the lowest class in his school. But he managed to climb to the best non-GEP class within 1 year and half. For all that, he has worked very hard (most of the time with his mother). I can also witness how heartbreaking it is to see a kid in big stress and even had hysteria for two times. Believe me. So in no way his success in HCI DSA is achieved by luck. Will cook more good food for him the coming weekend.


I know here is not an appropriate place to do so. You can blame me!

Your son definitely deserves a special pat on the back. Congrats!
