Personally I find that twinning really helped my DS2 in his development , not only in school work.

He is learning a lot of history , geography, general knowledge in social studies, picking up computer skill in CEP lesson etc.

It's the best of both world. You do mainstream math, science and English, probably at a more advance level compared to the rest of the classes, but take same exams in these subjects.
The they join and take same CL/HCL as the GEP kids.
They take the GE social studies exam too even though it's not graded.

I agree. TAG class has its advantages such as smaller class size -25, better and nicer teachers according to my son. He does not want to go to mainstream class now cos he's really enjoying himself in TAG class

Yup I agreed fully.
My DS is enjoying himself in TAG.
He would have suffered in GEP had he qualified .

Now thinking

1)should I go for Qifa since I am the ex student there.
2)Do PV at Nan Hua since MIL within 2km
3)Do PV at BPPS since mum within 1km.

Please give me your advise.

3)Do PV at BPPS since mum within 1km.

Please give me your advise.

1. Ur IC indicate which add.
2. NHPS is balloting within 1km in P2B this year and their selection i quite tough.
3. BPPS is balloting within 2km in P2B for this year also. They accept all the PV. If u use ur mum address, it will be within 2km not 1km ( as caregiver )
4. U may want to enrol ur child to Qifa in P2A2 1st then monitor NHPS and BPPS if u apply as PV.

Ur child born in which year?

Hi, may I know for those in GEP, they are in the TAG class right ? Or is there a GEP class ? What's the difference in twinning class, TAG class & GEP class ? To me, it seems to be the same group of students :?

The kids have TAG and form classes. They are mixed into G,J,K 3 classes for Chinese, research work , Music, Art, PE etc.

They are broken up into TAG 1 (twinning), TAG 2 and TAG 3 (GEP) for English, Math, Science.

So am I right to say those in GEP will be in TAG 2 (Class J) & TAG 3 (Class K) ? Twinning is TAG 1 (Class G) ? How about those taking HCL ? They will be split into CL & HCL even though if they are from the same class, eg. TAG 3 (Class K), some will go to join other classes when they are having HCL ? My DS ex-school does that.

Hi, ngbrdad, thanks for the information. Seems like to take this TAG class offer is the better choice.

If you receive the letter inviting your kid to join the twinning system, take it.

Yes, have submitted the reply sheet to take the offer. Thanks for the advise.

But G,J,K are mixed form classes ie have both twinning and GEP students.
They all do HCL in p4 as it's a SAP school.
From P5 onwards, some will do CL. The Chinese classes have both twinning and GEP students.
They sit for the Chinese/HCL papers set by the GE branch, different from other students in the same school.
