Dd received Invitation letter to apply for the Sec 2 Humanities Talent Development Program ( TDP). Any parents here dd participate in any talent program in Sec 2? Will it reflect in the report book after the completion of the program? The project will be graded, but will not be included in the calculation of MSG right?

My girl previously also selected for the program. Cant remember if report book indicate. MSG not counted for this program. Will be good to go for it if your girl decides to go for HP nxt yr.

Hi smallbattery,
How was the program? Did your dd take up the same program in Year 3? Which level is your dd this year?

Hi Ganjiongspider,

I did not really followed thru the program but i saw my girl enjoyed the program. At least she has an experience to interview those hawkers at Tiong Bahru Mkt.
My girl takes up the SIA proj under the Humanities dept this year (Yr 3).

My niece from NJC took a direct bus (i think is 74) from Hougang and it usually took her around 45 minute, she said it is the best way if the bus stop is within walking distance.

This page on NJC shows clearly how to get there with all the bus routes and mrt. It is so convenient. Just try it. http://www.testpapersfree.com/school/secondaryschool.php?schoolid=81 :lovesite:

Dd told me that during the briefing, cher told them that this program is something like what they did in the IDS last year, interviewing people and they will be going to Tiong Bahru for the learning journey too. Actually was telling my dd not to apply any extra program, so as to keep her work load manageable; but since she was being selected & letter was issued, I think it may be a good exposure for her to learn how to manage her work this year. :xedfingers:

I always feel if she is been selected then should go for it. Will add credit to her profile.

DD (sec 1) has been selected for MO training but she can’t make it on Mon (3rd Lang class) as well as Tue (day for the CCA she has chosen).


Her teacher’s advice is, give up MO training, but my daughter is keen to go. Usually what is the best way to go about this? Can appeal for a change of CCA to those that are held on Friday?

What cca she's in? Only once a week? So good....^-^ If her cca can be on Friday, you can try to appeal. Maybe her teacher think that it is not a must for MO training in Sec 1, hence such advice bah. Becoz in Sec 2, your dd may still get the chance to being selected for the SIA talent program in Math. The school usually encourage students to take up such program in Sec 2 even though it is only compulsory in Sec 3.

I think it is a bit sayang to give up the MO training since she is keen to go, sorry I am always very 纠结 :oops:

HeeHee... My girl is the rest and relaxed kind :imcool: she purposely chose clubs CCA. During primary school days, she was from the library club.

The allocation of CCA is not out yet but 4 out of 5 CCAs she picked would require participation on Tuesday. Her teacher told her since she can’t make it on either day, then no choice but to give up. Her classmate’s CCA fell on Tues too (as she DSAed via that particular CCA), thus, classmate has no choice but to reject too.

What is SIA? :scratchhead:
