Mine in 1k. Doesn’t mean anything to me though anyone else same class?[/quote]

The last 7 classes are mainly GEP students[/quote]

My own experience shows with main stream child with high T-score above 266, when go to same class as GEP in sec school the gap is still significant, need to put in a lot of effort.
My elder child is main-stream with high T-score, and my 2nd child is from GEP.
The P4 to P6 GEP program is very different training.

I assume the syllabus is the same for all Yr1s, regardless it’s GEP class or not, right? Is it becos the teachers teach faster for GEP classes? If so, what do they do with the spare time? Thanks.

Jellytale:

Can I know whether to pin the school badge on the first few days? We bought extras but I had the impression that they will get it on the investiture day? Also no tie right? We didn’t buy any on the registration day. Tia!

I have the same question as Jellytale. Do the boys wait until the investiture to wear their badges, or do they wear their own badges from the first day of school?

Both CEP AND 3rd Language are elective programmes?


So, if you take up 3rd Lang in year 1 and in year 2, you decided to take CEP. You have to withdraw from 3rd language to take CEP?

CEP (computer), MEP (music), AEP (art) & 3rd Lang are electives & only one subject from this category can be selected in Year 3.

According to the orientation programme given out in the registration pack, it states that boys will be given school badge at investiture. So dun think they need to wear their badges till then. I didn’t buy any, ha!

Hi
I'm also interested to know if there's a difference. Anyone can share?

[Thanks ksp]

Hi, what is the culture in school? Do they like to play computer games? I heard most parents said the boys enjoy the school, hopefully all programs will diverse their urge to play games. Parents, can share your tips on kids on games
