Hi Blur Dad,


my son also scored 85% for SA1...but interviewed by only 1 teacher & 1 student...asked him about his experience with PESA & Chinese calligraphy (besides qn on have u been to China? which part & what did u do during the stay?)
pretty interesting on how HCI has diff interviewing patterns
anyway, good luck to all of us

I think the HCI interview arrangement is just coincidental. DS mentioned that the students were arranged in alphabetical order for the interview rooms and not by schools. If by merits, then parents who were still around will sure :rant: :rant: :rant:

[quote=\"ngbrdad\"]Anyone with news from NUSH yet ?

I called the school, they said results will be out on 15 or 16 July.

So late ?
Then it will be a mad rush to pay for the camp fee if selected.[/quote]Can do online.

I read in the past RI thead that in RI they also have GEP class and non-GEP classes for the first two years. Only some of those selected mainstream students are put in GEP classes just like in current primary GEP centre now. From yr 3 onward, the different in subject combination will deter which class the students will go. Similarly in HCI, come to sec three they will also have to choose which subjects combination go to their respective elected subject classes. These classes could have pp from ispark or other consortiums.

the difference in RI is that all classes with / without GEP students are taught using the same GEP pedagogy. Class 1 A/ 2A is usually sports DSA class and their timetable takes into account competition schedule. In the words of the RI principal, the whole school runs as a GEP school, instead of just iSpark.

Class 1B / 2B to 1H/2H are without GEPpers, the last 7 classes all the way to 1Q/2Q (there is no class 'N' & 'O') are all GEPpers class with a few non-GEPpers joining them. These non-GEPpers are monitored by some teachers on how they cope with the rest of the class. There is no interference with they are doing just fine ......
