I heard Nanhua also got this HA class for those who cleared round 1 GEP screen test.

My friend's dd in Nanhua, they started this a few years back. According to her, they \"trained\" their students for GEP, and those cleared round 1 will be allocated to HA class. It is a twinning programme with their GEP class. Anyone knows more perhaps can share?

so those who cleared round 1 from other school can apply for this twinning programme anot? :evil:[/quote]I don't think so. But many schools now have High Ability classes for their top students and these classes have differentiated programmes. Students who qualified for Round 2 but just missed getting into GEP will also be invited to various activities organized by GEP.

Info on the twinning programme in Nanhua and BICEP programme in Tao Nan from MOE, dated Sep 2006:


Two schools will be introducing their own innovations to the GEP, and will be supported by MOE in their initiatives:

* Nan Hua Primary School will be piloting the integration of classes for its GEP and high ability non-GEP students for about 50% of their curriculum, starting from the Primary 4 cohort in 2007. The GEP students will continue to take separate classes in English, Maths and Science. (See Annex A for write-up). The integrated classes will have about 30 students per class, while the GEP classes in the core academic subjects will have 20 students per class (compared to 25 students per class currently).
* Tao Nan School will be introducing an integration model through a pilot bicultural programme (BICEP) starting from the Primary 4 cohort in 2007. GEP students can chose to join high ability non-GEP students in two BICEP classes for about 50% of their curriculum. The GEP students will continue to have separate classes in English, Maths and Science.

My dd's time they had a letter typed out on an A4 sheet of paper with details of round 2. Now no more?

It's still a letter with details of Round 2 and also information on the Room number and Desk number. There's also another sheet with a map of the school that they are going to.

Happy Mama! Your dd got into Round 2? Congrats! :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:

DD1 made it to round 2. She said teacher mentioned that not all questions in round 1 are marked as they only consider the answers to specific questions in computing the score. Maybe that’s why it’s ok not to complete the paper and yet make it into round 2.
