Only can choose 1 school to register...
In P2C, BPPS and Beacon need to ballot within 1km this year
CHIJ ballot outside 2km and Zhenghua need to ballot within 1km during P2C Supp

So meaning I can do PV for lot of school but can only ballot for 1 school?


I live within 1km fm BPPS so meaning do I need to do PV in order to get in?

Is BPPS having the GEP programme just wish my kid could at least try for it.

For GEP programme, u may like to call the sch for more info...
As for PV, u may want to try Beacon as for now the result is all PV get in though P2B.

Your child is born in which year?

It doesn't matter whether the school your child is in offers GEP or not. It depends on the results of the GEP test for the child. If the child doesn't pass the GEP test, he will be in the normal class even if the school offers GEP.

BPPS is not a GEP centre. Todate, there are total of 9 GEP centers, listed here:-

http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/programmes/gifted-education-programme/gep-schools/

at the end of Primary 3, if your child can clear two challenging rounds of GEP tests and eventually offered the GEP programme by MOE to the Top 1% of the entire P3 student population cohort, you can decide to accept or reject the offer. If accept, then transfer your child out of BPPS - into one of the above 9 GEP centres, to continue his remaining P4 to P6 education.

round 2 is more challenging to clear, both English & Maths.
the GEP programme is an accelerated, rapid & fast paced, rigorous demanding curriculum from P4 to P6. It is not easy to get in, also not easy to get out.

Kindly note that if you decide to register with either Beacon or BPPS via caregiver route, you will be under the 1-2 km category even though your mother's house is < 1 km from the schools.

Dear tare1919, my DD2 also born in 2007. I had submitted my PV form to Greenridge and will walk in to Beacon next Jan to submit my PV form also. Hope get a chance to PV in either this two school. :xedfingers: :xedfingers:

For Nan Hua, its very difficult to be PV as they need professional people like IT and etc.

Your IC indicate which add? Your MIL or your mum? If is your mum, then go for Beacon or BPPS for PV. FYI, this year BPPS need to ballot within 2km for P2B... Im one of the unlucky 7 to ballot out ... Now in the waiting list for my DD1. :xedfingers: :xedfingers:
