Are all p5 gep students invited to participate in the SPSO (Sci Olympiad) organised by NUSH? Or just selected ones only…

Each school will select some students to represent the school in the SPSO.

Just wanted to check whether those selected for Math Masterclass have already been informed?

Dear senior parents of GEP kids, how long did it take for your kids to settle into GEP? Kiddo in P4 seems to be taking a long time to finish his homework, usually bedtime is 8pm but these days goes to bed 1030pm sometimes. Am wondering if this is common or going to be a regular thing? The workload seems more homework but also because distracted (reading storybooks in between doing homework). Wondering how to encourage him to work a bit faster. The math also seems more cheem and find myself helping to explain more as math not really his forte. He doesn’t have math tuition and Wondering if he will cope with work intensity over next few years . Anyone experiencing / experienced similar and have advice to share?

There is a thread on the topic of how to teach kids to speed up as the below link for your reference.

Thanks for pointing me to the thread, some good advice there for sure.

no updates from the moe website

but some schools already marked out 17 August 2022 as the date for round 1 already.

just FYI only.

Yup my son’s school (neighbourhood school) interestingly released the date of round 1 as early as in Jan 2022 but MOE website had no info then.


Can I ask if anyone knows if the test is held during school time? My child has something on that afternoon so hope to know ahead if a reschedule of appointment is needed.
