my girl is posted to Nanyang, I am also considering whether to transfer my son to nanyang, but the current sch is more suitable for him as he is very weak in chinese.

:celebrate: my dd is also posted to Nanyang. Have to start thinking of getting new school uniform and books. Like starting pri1 all over again. :stupid:

Please pardon my ignorance, but may I ask what is the criteria to qualify for GEP? My DD will be going to Pri 3 next year. Thanks so much!

Thought Nanyang is A GIRL's School?

Nanyang Primary is a co-ed school.

This is hearsay, is it true that more boys than girls are selected for GEP? One GEP school has only 4 girls in a class and the rest are boys. Anything to do with nurturing future political leaders?

As parents, I feel that we can help 'ease' the school pressure by being our kids' cheerleaders and encouragers. Think it will make a world of difference to our children if we parents are able to send them a message that they are loved as they are rather than what they can do or achieve.


My DH and I have often shared with our kids that they don't have to be the best but they must do their best in whatever task they have been given. Once it is established that their best effort has been put in, we will accept whatever result is, good or bad. Parent's acceptance and approval has significant impact in our kids' lives.:

Thanks for sharing, Happy Mama. Agree wholeheartedly with your comments above. I make it a point to tell and show my small one everyday that she is loved to bits by her mommy. She has also been taught from a very young age to \"Be the best that I can be\". So, :goodpost:

Anyone has 2011 GEP screening test date?

[HVR]

I think the school will address a letter to parents in early March to inform and encourage parents to allow their children to go for the screening test, which will be held sometime in Aug or Sep (forgotten already) and students who passed this round will go for the selection test in Oct.
