GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection

[FadedGlory]

Hi, I am new. Have been lurking reading your posts!


My son got into Rosyth. When we visited the holding site in AMK, we were told that there will be no orientation due to having just moved in. Was told to buy books, uniforms and turn up at the porch on the 3rd next month. When we got home, we realized that we didn’t buy the report book and order the embroidered name for school shirt. So that’s going to be another trip.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how many classes there will be for GEP next year for P4? And also how many kids from Rosyth got into GEP? Just curious…!

Cheers

Hi,


Has anyone received any letter from the respective GEP schools that your DS/DD gotten in ? So far, I didn’t received any, so I am wondering what’s next, except that we are to report to school on 3rd Jan with the report card. My DS current school insists that we give them the original MOE letter to be kept by them before they release my DS’s report card. Is that so ? I tot the letter was addressed to us, parents ?

Never heard of that before. My DS's previous school did not take back his report book or asked for MOE letter.

Yup, we received the letter from the GEP sch including the class for next year, booklist, transport form etc. Thought it was mentioned in the letter the kid current sch will be informed of the transfer, hence we do not need to do anything except getting the stuffs ready for our kiddos next year schooling plus bring the report book on 1st day of sch. Ur DS current sch was not informed yet? Maybe u can call GE branch to enquire?

Just call my DS 's current school, they only required us to bring a copy of the MOE letter to get the report book.

Another thing, we just went to Nan Hua to buy all the stationery and books this Saturday. Found that could also buy school uniform in school, no need go to Tiong Bahru Plaza. Just that day they ran out of stock of PE shirts, maybe go and buy on another day.

I got my DS's report book the day after we got the letter from MOE about his posting. I called his school who already received word about the transfer. I then had to collect the report book & sign a form at his former school which they photocopied and gave me the original to present to ACS on the first day of school with his report book.

Ya, we went to tiong bahri yesterday, they ran out of stock for PE T shirt, only available after Christmas. So probably have to go again. :frustrated:
