[quote=\"HWBW\"]Just received call from school, my boy got into GEP.

Congrats to you and DS.... Didn't know school will call and inform.. Seems like the school very supportive of the GEP.. When my DS time, the teacher quietly passed the envelope to DS.. Nobody else knew he got into GEP.. :stupid:

For DD1, as school hols started really early, the school called me and we had to go back to school to collect the envelope.

DD2 still in school for CCA, so we'll see whether she's holding on to anything when we go pick her up later. She said she's not gg to change school no matter what, but mommy here is curious as to how she fared [/quote]

You can call the school to check. The school mail came in after the morning class was dismissed, but was kind enough to let me collect the letter. The briefing is next Saturday 8.45am - 11.30am in NUS High.

Congrats! Your kid got in too?

Yes, he got in. We are happy for him. He’s stronger in Maths and Science, but not great in languages, so was pleasantly surprised. There is quite a tight deadline to make decisions, so I decided to call the school instead of waiting for next week. I am sure he will miss his friends if he takes up offer. Also, not to put anyone down, I’d like to know from existing GEPer parents whether they are happy with the character development of the student. There is some labelling, and I do not want him to grow up distanced from other students. Any comments?

Congrats to parents and children who got selected! Keep the names coming. Surprised that some schools actually called parents to pass the wonderful news.


Eh, how come I have deja vu? Sounds like the GE and PE. :rahrah:
