RGPS has always had 3 GEP classes. They've had it for years. Nothing to do with Dragon babies.

Not sure if there's increase in the number of GEP students for Dragon year. I only know that for my Ds year, the number of classes for each sch is as follows :
1) Nan Hua - 4 classes
2) Nangyang - 4 classes
3) RGS - 3 classes
4) Catholic High - 2 classes
5) Henry Park - 2 classes
6) St Hilda - 2 classes
7) ACI - 3 classes
Tao Nan - 3 classes?? not sure
9) Rosyth - 2 classes ??? not sure either.

IF your info is correct, then Nanhua, ACS and Tao Nan all increased their classes by one.[/quote]To my understanding, ACS only has 2 classes and Tao Nan all along has 3 classes - 2 normal GEP and 1 for Bi-Cultural camp class.

So I see not many extra places.

NYPS has been having 4 GEP classes for very many years liao

Yah, so I don't think there's been any catering for Dragon babies at all. Based on the list above, Nanhua has 4 but that's wrong, bec they actually only have 2 GEP classes. ACS and Tao Nan probably only have 2 classes too. Are there are any parents here from ACS and Tao Nan who can confirm this?

GEP classes are usually not full classes most years so in the case of Dragon year, they probably just need to top them up a bit.[/quote]

If there's no increase in classes, then believe the sec sch will not do so as well.. so more competitive for the GEP Boys then. [/quote]

I guess this has been the case on the first day when those babies are born. All the way to adulthood. So not easy to call themselves \"Millenium Dargon\"

Nevermind lah. RI offers the same pedagogy to all its students, GEP class or not.

The GEP quota has no change every year after P3 screening. About 500 rite?

it is 1% of the cohort. Take year 2011 P6. I think only about 450 GEPers. As for year 2011 P5 , there are about 550 GEPers.

Anyone can confirm?

So how many here with kids taking the NJC Hast this Sat ?

My DS still doesn’t know about the 2:1 girl-boy ratio in the school or else he will probably refuse to take the test completely.
However I think he will be very happy about the 9 weeks boarding in school in year 1.

haha! how long are you planning to keep this info from him? He may thank you for it as he gets older. More girls to boys.
