I'm keen to find out too. Appreciate any sharing. Thanks in advance![/quote]I'm keen to find out too. More on the school culture and teacher's attitude.
We are also very keen. Anybody could kindly share their experience of GEP @ Rosyth. Many thanks in advance.bbcxd:
[quote=\"lpj0508\"]Hi,
I'm wondering if any parent of current Rosyth students can advise me.
My child has been selected for GEP starting next year. The nearest school offering GEP is Rosyth. For us, we are particularly concerned about the culture and school environment - whether there's intense competition/ comparison amongst peers, whether it's a very stressful environment, and if he were to subsequently find that GEP is not suitable for him, whether it is possible to drop out without any negative stigma.
Anyone can share their experience?

May i know the reasons ? -
Rosyth is one of 3 schools that have been offering GEP the longest. The program is well-established and has experienced teachers. It is a challenging program, but the culture in the GEP is not one of competition and score comparison. Rather, the students are excited and consumed by the alternative curriculum and the intensity of the learning experience. I don’t have first-hand knowledge of other centers so I can’t compare Rosyth vs. them, but I find the Rosyth GEP and the school itself perfectly fine for my children.

I feel proximity and ease of access is an important consideration when it comes to a choice of GEP school, if there is no one to be the child’s "chauffeur". There are extra-curricular and after-school activities. Coupled with CCA, it means that 50% of the time, my P4 child can’t take the school bus home. Thankfully there is a direct bus service from the school to our home.

Hi
I applied Rosyth transfer waiting list. next year will be p4. recent received school call got vaccancy can join.
may i know some information about Rosyth coming year classes information for example whuch class is Best class and 2nd Best class then rest?
so far kid current school also good but not as top as rosyth. now in Best class with high chinese. academic result is also good. just worry if been assigned to bad class then affect kidperformance. Then may have to give up this chance as \" in good school best class is better that top school bad class\".
can any parent kid in 2019 P4 can share information or private chat also welcome.
:thankyou: ( -

If that’s your (genuine) concern, and I think it’s valid, you may want to think twice and doubly hard in effecting the transfer.

Besides the issue of class assignment, you may have to think about whether the kid can even fit in, especially as it seems that he’s doing great in his current school. He could find himself at the fringes or unable to make new friends or simply being obstracised in the new school, resulting in poorer performance. By the time he recovers, a year may have passed. -

I just share my experience although may not apply for your case. I transferred my girl to a different school in p2 because we moved house. She did not like her new school and friends....subsequently, she transferred to Rosyth because of the gep program. Although she liked Rosyth and the teachers and friends, I felt that she had less opportunities to shine. One example is that she was not made a prefect although she was already selected to be one in her previous school. Cca wise also not outstanding. She was already selected into the previous school robotics team (the only girl selected).

So yes, your concerns are valid....especially when your child is already in upper pri. -
Just sharing a friend’s story who tried to transfer to Rosyth and Tao Nan using P4 end of year results. The child is third in standard in a neighbourhood school. He has numerous MO certs, is a prefect and in school Basketball team who has won a zonal prize as well. The child was given the second best class in p5 due to random S-formation during class allocation of students to the top 2 classes, hence the mum thought of doing a transfer.
Both Rosyth and Tao Nan told his mum they might not be able to give him the top mainstream class. I guess there is no lack of ‘talents’ at the Gep centres. Hence in the end decided not to transfer.
