The traffic outside coronation plaza is very bad in the morning due to NYPS and the merging lane just before Sinopec.

Not much difference between the consortiums. Usually the GEP kids would enter iSpark where the curriculum remains largely the same, but in an environment the GEP students are more used to (some inter-disciplinary projects etc.), while the rest are randomly sorted. In Sec 3, students might switch consortiums depending on their subject combination and whether they are taking any special programs.

the consortiums at the high school are like a mini-school within a school. there are level assemblies, and also consortium assemblies. the consortium system allows for very much better pastoral care, i feel. the consortium directors do tend to know many boys in the consortium. although it is not necessary to be in a consortium council before running for the student council, many boys who are keen on the council route first serve within their consortium councils.


from what i see, many boys do switch consortiums after sec 2 (for my son’s sec 2 class, more than half had to switch out of the original consortium due to different Sec 3 subject combinations. he was perfectly happy in both consortiums and there is no huge adjustment or what.
