Yes, I am curious to know which is a 'friendly' GEP centre.

Any parents who strongly would recommend the GEP centre that their ds/dd is in now to the newly recruited Geppers?

Just got call from school my ds also got in, now the concern is should we take it or not? As my son doesn't want leave his school and friends, it is really a hard decision

:congrats:
Do go attend the briefing with your DS & decide after that.

:congrats: to all kids that have been selected for GEP. For those who are wondering whether to go for it or not. Perhaps you will like to ponder the below questions to help you decide :

(1) what is your kid's view and your view of GEP?
(2) what is your expectation of your kid in GEP?
(3) If your kid doesn't perform well (to your standard or perhaps school's expectation), what are you going to do?
(4) Are you willing to cut down on school non academic activity/CCA that your kid enjoy if she/he doesn't perform well in the academic subjects?
(5) Are you willing or your kid willing to forgo fun/hobby/playtime if his/her performance in academic subjects are below expectation or due to projects/assignments/etc....
(6) Attitude of the kids regarding study for certain subjects
(7) Do consider distance, the nearest the better & also need to know whether the school will be shifting to another site due to various reasons. :scratchhead:

ps I shared the same feeling as what Thmejlfm shared earlier, so do consider GEP seriously and be prepared to support your kid if thing doesn't work out in GEP.

Just4Good will stay put at his current GEP school . He just has to decide if he want to go into the GEP program.

:congrats: to everyone selected for GEP!


I was hesitant abt letting dd join the prog 2 yrs ago when she was selected but decided to trust her judgement. no regrets now - she loves her school, her friends (the kids in the GE classes are very close knitted), her teachers and the prog.
