Hi Gifted


Thank You.

I have been to the website. Just hoping to check whether the students/teacher there is gd and are they stressfull. My boy is taking the PSLE next year and he is very strong in Maths and Science. When he was in Pri 3, he was the top 10% in his co-edu after taking the Gifted Exam. They hv invited him to visit the sch and participate in their Maths Camp last year and this year.

He working hard and hope get a place in NUS High in 2010.

My son also same as your son, but did not get invited to their maths camp?

Hi Carebear


I heard from my boy is that that chose those which did very well in the 1st round of GEP to attend. I think your boy did well in his English therefore he is not invited.

Sigh....strange, my son's english not powderful, i thought it was his math that got him in the top 10%. I sometimes guess it must be the scholl he is from. This school does not seem to inform us of things that some schools encourage, eg the school did not inform us about the maths olympaid course that NUS conducts during the holidays, did not let the students take NSW test in P5.

What is \"pm\"

Used to mean \"afternoon\" according to my P1 English teacher. Nowadays, in Internet-speak, it means \"private message\".

Hi Sally,
My son is very good in Maths and often score full marks. He's going to P5 next year. I am interested to sign him up for the Maths Olympiad course as well at the end of his P5. Please give me some feedback on the course.

My son got into the 1st round of GEP as well, he is brilliant in Science averaging above 95. He scores distinction and high distinction for Maths and Science respectively for NSW this year. I would very much like him to get into NUSH cos I think he has the potential and interest.

I keen to find out more abt the DSA program as well. Pls keep me posted if you further info.

Hi PowerPuff Mum


As the Maths Olympiad course he is chosen by the school and they have external teacher to teacher. According to my boy they teach the different way of solving more different questions and not teach in the class. For P5, if they are in the Maths Olympiad course they will represent the school to NUSH for competition and in P6 will go to Hwa Chong for competition.

Every term his Maths Olympiad teacher will make them sit a exam and they fail, they will be drop out.

Basically, the questions he show us, we are unable to solve. You may check with your boy school whether thay have Maths Olympiad course in the school.

Not all schools engage external instructors for Maths Olympiad class. If the vendor comes into the school to teach, they charge just a fraction of the fees if you were to do it outside as an enrichment.

For our school, the Maths Olympiad preparation starts at P4. Not really selected but the top 2 classes are encourage to sign up. They can participate in the NUS High Maths Olympiad Competition in P4 and P5. And then in P5, APMOS (Asia Pacific Maths Olympiad) and P6, Hwa Chong Maths Olympiad and RI World Maths (this is for selected pupils in our school) .
