GEP kids and their parents

[jtoh]

chamonix:

My children are not eligible for the GEP tests yet, still \"underage\". Besides, we are in France. But my niece and a good friend's son are sitting for round 2 tomorrow. Feeling excited for them.

Oh you're still in France. I thought you came home already.

You are disclosing how old you are har.. :evil:

Shhh... Liddat, nobody dares to share info. Then I cannot solve the mystery....

Besides RGS having 'gifted' classes in 1984, any idea what other schools held such classes? RV, RI, ACS?

For the secondary section, GEP started off in RGS and RI in 1984. Later on, secondary GEP became available in ACSI, DHS, HCI, NYGH and VS.

Secondary school GEP was phased off a few years ago in view of more GEP students opting for IP schools.[/quote]I know there were 2 classes of about 25 students in RGS when they started, but have always wondered how many classes were there in RI. Does anyone know?

7 classes x 30 are \"GEP\" class, but the whole school is on GEP curriculum (principal said during opening house) including the remaining 8 classes. This now.

Don't know about last time ....

There were 2 RI classes in the 90s.

And yes, the first generation of GEPers are 40 this year. There is at least one couple in that batch that are parents now.

Those were pre-u 1 & 2, before RJC started

GEP testing started in 1983 for the first batch in 1984

RJC started in 1982 hence there was never any GEP girls in RI. The first batch was in RGS secondary or RGPS, and GEP for secondary is up to sec 2 only anyway
