Anyone’s DD in HSSRP? Would like to know if receive invite for this programme, do the girls still have to go through another round of selection test? How heavy is the time commitment?

May I know for year 1 students, is it advisable to keep their P6 Maths & Science worksheets and notes from enrichment centre ? I am thinking whether to keep them or dispose them after PSLE exams. Any advice ?

Hi! I’m a S2 student and I would say that based on my experience last year, usually Secondary 1 students wouldn’t really need their P6 Math and Science worksheets, as the content taught is quite different (i.e. no modelling, new topics that are totally different being taught).

Hope that helps!

Hi Swc,

My dd is in HSSRP this year. If your dd receive invitation for this programme, she can choose to accept or reject it. However, once you accept the invitation, get prepared for the full commitment to this programme. The girls will have to submit her research proposal to MOE, and the final selection is from the expert-mentor. And yes, it is super heavy time commitment to be in this programme. Most of the time, the deadline is short, and crashes with school's graded tests and assignments due date. The time is mostly spend on reading, researching the things and keep on amending and amending that your expert-mentor wanted you to work on. Expert-mentor can keep changing the directions of research, and get prepare to work with minimum guidance but high expectations. Although the girls will also attached with school's teacher-mentor, but the expert-mentor have the final say. It is not straight forward research paper, and need a lot of perseverance to be in this programme. My dd just submitted her final paper 2 weeks ago, and the last event is the symposium which is on 31 Oct.

Thanks Ganjong Spider!

What you described sounds scary 😅

Just to clarify one more point: once the student accepts the invitation, is there a possibility her proposal will not be accepted by any mentor-expert? Does that mean she will have to find another SIA project when that happens?

Ganjiongspider, just want to ask, does your daughter enjoy the program even though its very intensive? Does she have any regrets?

Does that mean she will have to find another SIA project when that happens?[/quote]Haha..In fact, it is indeed scary. For the first draft proposal, usually it is very simple and less demanding, like 2 page include introduction, short literature review, research questions, and methodology for the research. Generally, once your dd is in this programme & attach with expert-mentor, by hook or by crook, she has to complete the programme, cannot change any SIA. Coz HSSRP is a privilege programme to be attached with a expert-mentor, the girl must persevere to work through it. The most important of all, the girl has to sign acknowledgement or commitment letter from MOE. They take very seriously in this programme. Hence, get prepared to prioritize HSSRP than the any other things that you think is equally important. Generally, the original proposal will be half-accepted by the expert-mentor, but to take note that the expert-mentor has their own ideas or plan that he/she wants the student to research on. Get prepare to follow suit what the expert-mentor expect or demand from the research paper.

Hi cutepandabear, to tell the truth, it is not a programme to be enjoy from, as it is too demanding and exhausting. But after the project review and submit the final paper, she did not have any regrets. Because she finally survived!!! :rahrah: Keep reminding her, HSSRP is a privilege MOE-gifted programme lo. It's a once in a life time for her to be in this gifted programme. And yeah, no regret in the end.
