We were at the HCI open house too. Thought the sharing by the parent of an existing student was very good. She said she has 3 kids, 1 in ACSI, 1 in HCI (Sec 3) and 1 in RI (sec 2). She feels that the school support is strongest in HCI based on her personal experience. The consortium head worked closely with her when her son was not doing well last year and was able to counsel the boy to achieve stellar results at the end of last year. Her point is when the children move to teenage phase, they tend to listen more to their teachers, peers than parents. So it is important to have good support from the teachers and school when things don't go well. She mentioned she was not too happy when she wrote emails to RI teachers for her younger child and did not receive reply. Those were good feedback to keep in mind.
Did she mentioned which consortium of HCI? Just had parent meet teachers session these two days. Yes, the teachers are all very patient and understanding to towards both students and parents. Very helpful and responsive to parents email.
They have alot of young teachers helping around who seems like their ex-students.

no harm trying if you are really keen, at most try again using PSLE. But your ds may likely to get into HCI or RI if you apply dsa to the two schools concurrently.
Not sure if I heard correctly at the ACSI's Open House principal talk. I think it was mentioned they only have 50 places for DSA? I was at the non-feeder school session so not sure if the 50 applies to no. of places for non feeder school. Based on my understanding, in the past, very few students from my ds' school were offered place in ACSI.leeven:
Any feedback for ACS (I) IP.
* how difficult is HAST.
* Any samples other than what school gave us when registering.
* is it just HAST results alone or certs also they look.
* How difficult is the DSA process. Any past experienced parents here , please please help.
* How many students are selected and CO given to them (past few years)and how many accepted it. -

Her boy is a GEP student so I think the consortium is called iSpark.ksme:

any body know how CT1 for Science calculated for P6 GEP. All I know is my DS did a written paper which 60% so where the remaining 40% comes from. I dont remember he doing any projects this year for science.

Hi Herbie.
My questions is CT1 breakdown. My DS only wrote a writtern paper that is 60 marks in total. so does that mean for
ex student scored 48/60 = .8
-> .8*100= 80%
-> 80*.3 =
-> CT1= 24 -

Hi Herbie.
Thnx. :thankyou: I thought CA = 60% and DA = 40% and my DS never told my about DA
(he is good in hiding marks from me :frustrated: ) . -

Her boy is a GEP student so I think the consortium is called iSpark.[/quote]Yes, her son is in iSpark. I think the young teachers are teaching assistants who are ex-students. There was 1 such teaching assistant who spoke at the open house talk. He is waiting to go to an Ivy league (can't remember which one). Apparently he was from mainstream if I remember correctly. Both the ex-students who spoke in the talk this year did an excellent job. They spoke well and presented a fair picture of what to expect, ie lots of activities, not just academic focus etc etc. I read that last few years, the open house tend to put people off, but I think HCI did a good job this year. But that's my view only.Otah:
