Hi ApronMama


Do you know is there any GEPers in other Consortium other then iSpark?

I heard so. If GEPers did not get DSA offer and later got accepted via PSLE result, I am not sure if they could be detacted and be put in ispark.

what is iSpark ?

Consortium System in Hwa Chong Institution
The Consortium system allows for a more student-centric approach to student development, with each consortium working and learning as a team for the differentiated needs and holistic development of the students. This system provides a fertile bed for many bottom-up initiatives, catering to the specific needs of their students. The team of teachers works very closely with the students, bonding them and bonding with them, and charting their intellectual and socio-emotional growth.

Within the consortium framework is a pool of outstanding students selected to be further stretched in their developmental capacity in terms of independence as well as leadership.

The entire school population is divided into 4 consortiums:

Aphelion
ProEd
Ortus
iSpark

The iSpark consortium houses the School-Based Gifted Education (SBGE) Programme.

[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]Based on my DD last year, the successful candidates for the Camp will received an email on Fri afternoon till Saturday 3.00pm. Unsuccessful one will receive email much earlier. So no news is always good news.

You can paid online at NUSH website thru internet banking. You can monitor the entire DSA application (Test, Camp status till acceptance/ rejection etc ) online.

If all GEPers are in iSparks then the number is quite small compare to RI

For Sec 1, total about 81 students only.I guess RI has about 170+ students.
