Hi yijing, any idea how HCI assign the student to the respective consortium? It seems most of the parents here with DS in Ortus.


My DS told me couple of his friends thru sports DSA allocated to Aphelion but most parents here with DS in Ortus.

my DS is very interested to join Track and field after the orientation but I did hear from some parents that they will be trained at least six times per week during competition season. Wonder if he can cope with his work. He is a mainstreamer but was allocated to iSparks due to his DSA via BICEP. Worry he needs to cope with the GEP environment and his demandingCCA at the same time.

Hope you could share your experience.

Hi joe0599,


Yes, you are right. It is bicultural studies stuff.

Hi,

Allocation into the various consortia is random..mostly. The few variations that I had in my year were:

- Sports DSA in Proed
- Most Malaysian scholars in aphelion
- GEP in iSpark

But the rest is purely random.

All CCAs have near-everyday training once it nears competition period, so actually it's physically and mentally draining no matter what CCA you pick. All HCI boys will have trouble coping with the work at the beginning (me included) but if HCI has taught us one thing..it's how to adapt. Sama sama for the GEP/mainstream thing..

My class back then was able to adapt within a few months. Sharing notes, helping each other when we needed it..so we could cope when competition period came. I do hope his class will have the same attitude ^^ So don't worry!

Hi joe0599,


My DS started his bicultural studies since P4 and was selected to participate in HCI bicultural camp organized for selected schools in P5. He was selected to be the team leader for the similiar camp when he was P6, thereafter was informed by HCI organizer that these few selected boys can apply via DSA thru this programme. I think it may be a relatively new programme because I remembered the organizer mentioned that it was the third or fourth times (if my memory did not fail me)they were organizing such camp when I attended the session last year.
