      thanks for your 'rumors' 😉

      vk2010 u come just in time as I would like to check with you regarding the HCI CO letter that your son received last yr. Is it a photostated copy or is it with original letter head with its red colour logo?..ours is photostated black and white copy le :roll: ...This sort of thing should be original copy with the school letter head right?... :skeptical:

      Vlim, are you suspecting your CO is fake one ? :rotflmao:
      You should receive a email also rite?

      :rotflmao: ...ya sikaly ..they only give original one if we accept their offer 😉

      oh they replied my email liao..they said the dsa letters are computer generated....so i supposed all are black and white lor...what to do :skeptical:

        :congrats: vks2010

        U have promoted :rahrah: :rahrah:
        Now u r a councillor.


        Ms Tay,

        2 years ago, when my DS received the letter to GEP, I remember his ex-sch form teacher (whom actually discourage my DS to go into GEP) told me this. \"DSA is created for GEP students. This is because GEP focus on projects/portfolio from P4 to P6 (mid year). This group of students didn't really spend much time in preparing for PSLE. If there's no DSA, then they're at losing end.\" I'm not sure how true is this, but from this thread, it's seems like it's really not easy for mainstream students in this DSA process. As for GEPers, they do have to do well (to score >80%) in order to have \"smoother\" process. & it's also not easy to score > 80% in GEP.

        What ever reason it is, I believe your DS will definitely do well in his PSLE. Cheer Up!!!!!

        From what I read in this thread, the GEP are doing subjects pitch at higher level, such as English at secondary 1 or 2 level at P4, social studies at sec 1 to sec3 level, Maths are very challenging and need not be within the scope of mainstream. So if they can do well, they could be put on a through train, something lidat...

                    Not my DS. Don't think he had that hard a time over the past 3 years.

                      Not sure abt other Gep students. I make sure my DS has day off on Sunday, even when he's having exam. The work is manageable if they have proper time management. Though at times, he has to forego some computer time in order to complete his projects.
