GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection

[MandyMummy]

Some GEP schools will conduct school tour before the submission deadline. Some even have sign-up list at their booths.

The schools will give out Open House info, if any, at the booths at the talk.

Will there be an orientation for them too ? Since most are new to the school ?

Try to browse the school websites. Normally there is open house for GEP parents around Monday to Wednesday...

So far I see the websites there is no open house information for kids and now is friday already Unless the invitation from the sch is known only tomorrow. Thinking of bring DS to go and tour the schools before choosing for he is the one study there next 3 years not me.[/quote]Just888, you can still bring him on Sat or Monday to view the school.
I just pm you.

[quote=\"just888\"]HPPS's uniform though not so nice, but it suits lazy mum like me..no need to iron Plus no extra set required for PE, therefore no need to worry forgot to wear the wrong uniform to sch. It would be even prefect if their sch shoes are black in colour.

Mmmm... is this a compliment or ???? I think HPPS is going to have a lot of GEP kids this year. Heard the size of GEP class tend to be quite small ( less than 20 ).

Comfy, why think that HPPS going to have lots of GEP kids this year? I know there is going to be 2 GEP class with 20 students each. My hubby thinks the ratio of teacher to lesser students would be better.[/quote]yes , the students ratio is much lesser , but well mix of girls and boys .
Kids are happy and having fun learning journey , never feel Elite or Inferior due to different background.
this year ,my ds is blessed to have very dedicated and caring language teachers .
math and science teacher are new to GE , but they are very hard working , the senior math teacher will be back from her studies next year .
the school emphasis on Character building and discipline as well.

I will be bringing DS2 with us. He is 9mo. Neither grandparents are able to care for him. One set cannot cope as they are in their 70s, and another is away in China for a holiday. Should be no prob right?
