Hi, Just curious for mainstream students who got accepted into isparks, do the kids generally have to obtain perfect score of 4D for psle?

Nope. Just found out that my son\"s classmate who scored AL6 is also accepted into ispark. It is not by DSA either.

Hi, may I ask if the briefing was for parents of previous GEP children who will be posted to iSpark or from mainstream? Thanks![/quote]

The briefing was for parents of GEP and mainstream children.
According to the director, there is no GEP in secondary, it is just that Hwa Chong has this consortium to cater to this higher ability group with more content convered.

Saw some parents indicated they received email indicating their kids posted to ispark. My email only says successful registration. parents gateway says will know classes by 30 Dec.
To confirm only kids going to ispark receive the class notification?

Yes ispark parents also receive an invitation at PG to attend a briefing which just ended.

Hi, my child got posted to HCI and we just got back from overseas.

we did not managed to book a slot at the school bookstore as all the slots seem to be full. Can we walk in to purchase? Are the metal buttons and socks available in the bookstore?

You can order online, latest is by today. Metal buttons are available in the bookstore. Socks and shoes can buy outside.

How much pocket money do you give your sec 1 kid?

Is it a daily or weekly allowance?[/quote]

Bake rice is $2.50. The other food ranges from $3+ to $4+..
I gave weekly allowance, good to let them manage their own money.

I’ve PM the remaining who asked for the group chat. Not sure if it went through, somehow some messages still in Outbox.

Hi
Can u pm me the group chat for HCI too. This morning when I received the notification that my son is posted to iSpark, I am also quite worried. He is not from GEP and I worry that he cannot cope :stompfeet:
