[thmejlfm]

Well, I just faxed over the form for the GEP School. Really feel release after doing it.


Just now,spent almost a hour to surf through the last year GEP forum, very interested. Also noticed that nobody chose TNS and SHPS for the last year GEP. Would like to following them. List out all the 9 schools and see who selected which school.

ACS Primary




CHS Primary




Henry Park Primary


Nan Hua Primary


Nanyang Primary



Raffles Girls' Primary


Rosyth School


St Hilda's Primary


Tao Nan School


Opt out THE GEP

But why the ratio is almost the same each year??? :? To me, 1 girl to 1.9 boys is not much difference from 1 girl to 2 boys.


Find it difficult to believe that the ratio is about there every year. Even if it means that more boys are selected for GEP, think it will be more credible that the ratio varies each year (e.g. 1 girl to 3 boys), right?

I remember that when the annoucement was made during the GEP Parents Briefing regarding the GEP girls to boys ratio, there was quite a commotion amongst the parents. I looked around and caught a few parents looking at each other with that 'I told you so' smile. Seems like it is a known fact that the ratio of GEP girls to boys will hover about this ratio.

Btw, since the GEP Parents Briefing is last Saturday, did the Head of GEP Branch make any indication of the ratio of GEP girls to boys this year?
:lol:

This year the ratio is roughly about the same. Slightly more girls , so that why I think there is high chance of fixing a prefer no. boys and girls. I think the no of girls selected for GEP is going up gradually slowly (good sign).Perhaps more girls being exposed to more challenging math and IQ books. Parents with DD are also KS mah. If the population that year, have more girls than boys and the rstio still remain the same, you know perhaps we might right.

Hi thmejlfm,


my 1st choice is also Tao Nan followed by Rosyth. I don have other choices as the rest of the schools are either too far or not offering chinese orchestra as CCA.

That what I think too. Last year, I was introduced to this thread, I was really excited about the whole thing although my dd is in P2. Anyway, are your dd settle down to getting into a new school. Doing any preparation for GEP?

[thmejlfm]

Yes, both my dds kept asking about which school they will be in. I also telling my dd2 that may be she had to be separated with her sis. Just to get her prepared that she has to go to her new school alone.


My DD is alright now. Didn’t really do anything, just borrowed some GEP English books for her to read. She liked it. She read the Heidi and cried! So emotional
