Need to get some advice from parents of sec 2 & above…


Is IS project a compulsory project?

If the child is unable to form a grp with anyone, would he be allowed to do the project on his own (tho I think it’s a bit tedious cos of the scope, but nothing is impossible)?

If the school expects the IS project to be done in grp, would the teacher slot the child into any existing grp that has not hit the max of 4?

DS was enjoying too much of his school life in HCI and did not bother to go ard forming grps with his classmates… when he realized that he has to, it was too late… his classmates had all found members and formed the grp of 4, so he’s left with no classmates to collaborate… and since he only has 1 ex-schoolmate in HCI, but already formed grp in another consortium, he has no other friends that he know to collaborate.

Appreciate advice from the parents of the seniors, so that we can know how to proceed with this. thanks.

Yes, IS is compulsory. (It's calculated in the Mean Subject Grade).

It will be good to form a group, given that it is his first year doing IS. For this, he should approach his form teacher for some advice (or maybe to check if other classes have students who are also alone). Students usually do not do it alone but if so, it usually happens when he is in Upper Secondary.

Yes agreed that it is not advisable for him to do IS Project solo especially in lower sec. Besides letting his form teacher know, maybe he can try approaching those with 3 members and ask whether he can join their group? Coz 5 members group is not recommended. He can also try asking his CCA schoolmates.

[/quote]Unfortunately, cos there is no boundary of members for IS project, all the grps that the classmates are in are already full.. And since he din get in via DSA, his CCA has not been firmed.. So no one for him to approach for that route ..

IS is compulsory. It's graded into your son's scholastic MSG, and your son must hit the required C6 in order to be promoted to S2. However, I had one classmate who did not register for his project last year and was slotted into an existing group. My advice is that you should get your son to ask his classmates as there are probably still some who have not formed a group.

my son is also in Hci .he has only two members in his group. ask your son if he wants to join my son group.

Still trying to get hold of Siyou, not sure things can work out or not, cos I understand that some boys may not like to work with others in different consortium.. Lol
