I believe the distribution to the top mainstream P4 classes (outside of GEP class) would also be influenced by the GEP screening result of the second round, esp those who did not get pass the second round, or just missed being selected by the skin of their teeth.
The MOE officially call them the HAL (High Ability Learners) with some special programme for them as well. Parents can google for it under MOE website on the GEP section
haha, make you guys more kiasu and more stress hor .....

to get into 4 e/f have to compete with incoming p4, those passed one round but failed 2nd round of gep test and there are only 80 vacancy…so the kids in e and f are really the creme de la creme…

Yes, they are kept intact from p5 to p6. My dd is in p4 so there is one more round of streaming for her.[/quote]I thought so too, that's why was wondering why moonee said that 9 pupils were transferred \"back to mainstream\".
Aren't the students kept intact in their classes from P5 to P6? That is, if you're in P5E/F, you'll be in P6E/F?jtoh:

Yup can be very challenging being in top 80 class, really got to work hard to stay on. 9 pupils were transfered back to mainstream last year, I guess with the introduction of subject based banding
Moonee, what level were you talking about?
And anyway, all classes from A to J are mainstream classes. As are E and F. So there's no transfer to mainstream class to speak of? -

i think is also not easily to get into 4 e/f cos the girls who has cleared the 1st round of GEP test shld also be in these two classes. And these girls although they may not be academically strong but they are gifted in certain way and MOE says that they will inform the school on the strength of the girls who has clear the first round of GEP test as to whether they are strong in english/maths/general ability
Depends on the school. Some schools just distribute P4 streaming based purely on results of school exams, disregarding GEP results. Friends' daughters (in another school) who got into final round of GEP (but didn't make it to GEP) were sent to second bottom class and average class in P4.
Not sure how it works in RGPS though. -
My DD brouht back a form to registrate for UNSW international competitions. It seems only English is available for P3 students to choose.
My DD took UNSW competions of math and english last year. I felt the system is very good to fully assess the developing level of kids. I will let my DD to go for it again, no matter what grade she can achieve, just want to assess her level, hope can see some improvement. -

consideration is given to the fact that the student made it past first round of gep. I confirmed this with a teacher. Also, one student we know who made it through the first round is not in 4e/f. However, above is for legacy rgps students only. I don't know how students transferred in at p4 are assigned classes.
Just to share an interesting point, in my dd's class, more than half made it through first round gep! -
oh! From wat i know my kid’s sch will group this kid in a gd classs…so rgps works differently…

I met a P4 mum whose girl was transferred to RGPS since she passed the first round GEP test. Her DD is not in E/F class.I don't know how students transferred in at p4 are assigned classes.

Oh dear, sorry I went blur for a while :? OK, let me put it right.....Last year 9 pupils from the two top classes 4E and F were transfered out and back to the regular classes and in p5 today. -
you mention 9 students from the 2 top E and F mainstream non-gep classes got transfered back to normal ordinary classes…
how about the other way … are there also cases where gep students from rgps also got transfered out from gep classes, and then go back to normal average classes ? how do these kids handle … emotionally ?
