May I know any parent whose DS is on WL from HCI receive email to attend Parents' Symposium on 22/10?

Yes we received an email. I should think this is sent to all on WL. Are there exceptions ?

DS has got CO from HCI but we have not received any email from HCI to attend Parents' Symposium thus far.

Hi all


This is my first time posting…

I am asking if the schools for DSA look at P4 results. The reason i am asking is my son who is in GEP did really very badly for hi P4 mid term. So this will affect his grades cos’ P4 mid term < 80 marks…

Pls advise…

I will not say \"No\". The criteria for the 80% at P6 (mainly from RI) is to decide whether the child needs to take GAT or not. One school did require us to enter P4, P5 and P6 results in their online application, but can't remember which school was it. I am sure the DSA secondary school will still see the performance over the 3 years, of which they can determine the consistency of the child performance. I will still suggest for the child to do his/her best over the 3 years in GEP.

The schools I know of only asked for P6 SA1 and P5 results online and in person. No requests for P4 school results at all. Although some schools do ask you to list your achievements, so you can merrily list your P4 UNSW / SMOPS results if you want to.

As what Twatau has mentioned the criteria of >80% for p6 gep ca1+sa1 result, is for RI to deter whether the applicants need to sit for GAT or not.
Anyway since your ds is only in p4 gep this yr, so he still got time to improve himselve and get better grades for future ct and sa ..and of course he has to put in more efforts.

supermumto3, think this is something we can't advise as it all has to depend on the schools. But don't stress yourself too much now. Try to help him now, see where is his weakness & use work hard on it for the next 1.5yrs.

hi supermumto3 ~ i wouldn’t worry too much about the child not doing too well for P4 mid term. i think they take into account that for the first half of P4, the kids are still adjusting to the GE program, and for some even to a new school as well.
