TanJ:

Gep P6 students taking HCL have only sat for one SA1 CL exam so far.

Is 100% of this CL exam taken in for overall SA1 marks?

What about the HCL marks? Is HCL graded only as dist/mert/pass for SA1? Any % HCL taken in for overall SA1 marks?

TIA

Don't know, but PSLE grades HCL as dist/mert/pass and CL as the alphabetical grades if I'm not wrong. At least that was....7 years ago?

Hi all P6 parents,


2 1/2 years of GEP journey almost coming to an end, with 1 more SS portfolio and SS Final Paper to go, then it will be PRELIMS, PSLE & then off to Secondary Schools our DCs go. Time really flies.......

All the best in the coming PSLE for all P6 students.
Certainly, I am also counting down for my DD who will be sitting PSLE next year. The anxiety, for we, as parents hope that our children can do their utmost best !

Yes, you are right, time really flies... Their primary journey going to end soon and the next one coming, Secondary school.


Now, still waiting for the DSA. DHS still no news yet.......

Since DHS is one of the few sec schools offering GEP/IP, I presume the chance should be quite good.

Hi, today is the P6 gep social studies prelim. I was told that besides a pass/fail, the kids will also be graded as distinction / merit / pass. Does anyone know the cut-off or range of marks for each grade? TIA!

Is there DSA by GEP route? Is it different from DSA by academics route?
Which are the few schools offering DSA by GEP route besides DHS?

I am not aware of any dsa via gep.


But there is a list of schools (http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/programmes/gifted-education-programme/secondary/) having programmes catering to the gep kids and I presume this info is still valid.

If that being the case, then gep is not limited to the three year prog but can continues into sec level (just like it was). Unless the kid is doing bizarrely poor in those three years, I see no reason why they can't continue into sec schools.

This, of course, is my own inference.

Dear all,

I have a question and hope someone here can help. My dd is in P6(mainstream) this year, taking PSLE. We stay in the west but she has her heart on going to St Nicks. At the same time, we are also going to upgrade our home and we are contemplating moving to nearer Ang Mo Kio area. However, my DS is currently in Henry Park (GEP). Moving to AMK wld be far from HPPS. I am wondering if we could transfer him to Catholic High (GEP) which will be nearer?

Any one has a similar experience to share? Any one has transferred from one GEP centre to another after a year?

TIA
