All About GEP

Zann:

Thanks Faun. Ds school tr does not allow them to bring back mock test papers. Seems that there is no way home revision could be done now. Check his Journal and worksheets since begining of year and found nothing on sequence and nth term in quadratic. :roll:


Wonder if the other GEP centres allow students to bring back mock test papers for revision?

If you find the practice papers for GEP at roadside vendor or tuition centre offering such tuition one day, they are no longer challenging and meant for GEP.

Hi, my DS has to decide to join either the Primary Math Masterclass or the P5 Leadership Camp. The programme dates for both clash. His teachers have given him till tomorrow morning to tell them his reply.


My son likes maths but my inclination is for him to have some exposure to the outdoor activities camp.

Would much appreciate it if I could get some opinions/feedback on both the programmes, especially from those who have knowledge of the details of either or both programmes, or someones whose kids have joined either or both programmes previously.

Just by merely looking at the brief descriptions of the programmes doesn't really give me a good idea of which programmes is more benefiting. :?

of course Pri Master maths class is better! It is for top 30 students whereas leadership course is just another leadership course....

I think you may agree with me that from our perspective, the GEP branch (HQ) should have tried best to arrange for the 2 programmes to be held at different times (like the previous years). But, well, the officer in the GEP branch said just choose 1 of of them, when my DS's math teacher called him up to explore if there could be any better way other than dropping 1 of them..

I think my ds will go for the Math Master but I can only find out later.

Hi P5 parents, may I know next week HCL common test is from chapter 1 to which chapter? Thanks!

Two years back my ds(mainstreamer) attended the math master class. This is what he went thru. it was a 5 days lesson on the first week of June holiday at one of the GEP centre, with lunch provided. Thereafter, have to make your way to another GEP centre when school reopen one of the afternoon to do a group project. It all end around Sept. He did not get any offer of dsa despite attaching math master certificate and some other things. He entrolled to HCI as his first choice thru central posting after PSLE.

Hi Buzydad and Sandunes,

Congratulation. Yes, you should consider maths masterclass over leadership. Basically, one is space limited and not readily available outside, while leadership camp can be arranged later, or outside if you want that type of exposure for your kids.
