jyee1 - I presume you are referring to the p4 GEP kids.


You can’t. It is either Bicep or Ellap as the lessons are held at the same time. For Bicep need to sit for selection test. If can’t clear the selection test, will go Ellap. For those who opt for Ellap, there is no selection test.

Hi parents, my son just got into Bicep, but im in mixed minds over this.. I didnt attend the briefing held earlier this year.. Hope to get some advise here.. If halfway through the programme my son cant cope with the programme, can he opt out of it?


Is the programme generally a tough one?
Thanks in advance for any advise

bicep mainstream attends bicep lessons (2 hours once a week) and HCL lessons together with the bicep gep students.

paperprata - the kids just sat for the bicep selection test + interview yesterday, didn’t expect the results to be out so soon.

I do not supposed it is tough since it is non-examinable but the kids must have interest in chinese and chinese culture etc or they may find it a chore to attend bicep lessons (which teaches stuff like poems, tea appreciation etc)


For P4, the highlights of the programme (if same as this year - think should be quite similar) will be the 2D1N Malacca trip and the 4D chinese enrichment camp at the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan. For P5 will be the China/Taiwan overseas immersion programme.

7788, so for HCL lessons together with the bicep gel students meaning to say that they don’t need to stay 2hrs per week? And so i have to get both chinese & HCL textbooks?

[7788]

dc2559, HCL lessons are conducted during curriculum time while bicep lessons are conducted every Tuesday afternoon from 1.30 pm to 3.30 pm. I don’t supposed those who take HCL need to buy CL textbooks.
