I have a question:


I couldn't find official info stating must wear primary school uniform on the day of secondary one registration. Can some one tell me where is the official instructions on this?

my ds's primary school uniform a bit small now after the long holiday...

Your primary school should have advised you on this.

Hi anyone can help?
VS 247/255

Anyone can advise:
DD scored 247 , got in to nua hua ( 2nd choice), appealed to scgs before posting. Glad to know that the cut off point is lower and therefore she stands a better chance.
However as she now thinks that nan hua is too far and prefer bpgh (3 rd choice) . A classic example of how some children can be so fickle minded . Called bpgh , was told that if she appealed to bpgh and most likely she will be accepted and know by tmr then she cannot reject them and must take up their offer . That s why was hesitant to go to the school today. Thinking of should I wait for scgs which will will only let me know 1 or 2 weeks later or appealed to bpgh ?

Anyone can advise?

A little KS. Already purchased at BiBi Baba last week.

No worries of stock level.There are 2 companies selling uniform in the school. BiBi Baba store is at the 1st floor folyer and another company set up next to the book shop. Purchasing of school uniform should be no issue. The only long queue is purchasing of text book. So go early and purchase the text book first.

Thanks read in the ACSI thread that the bibi baba one quality better and more comfy although price also higher.

That's a really tough decision. Does your dd prefer SCGS or BPGH? Have you called up SCGS to ask what her chances are?

Er, I’m a gep student who got into ri and I’m eligible for gep promotion and fee subsidies but I don’t know if RI has enough places for ge students. I was not offered gep fees subsidy but instead got edusave entrance scholarship for independent schools(EESIS). What does this mean? Do I get into RI but am not in a gep class? I got 264.

Hi elctodragon,
All students who get in RI will take the same programme whether they are geppers or mainstreamers. Heard there are abt 7 classes for geppers and u should be in one of them. Reason to separate the Ge and mainstream pri students are to make sure the mainstream students r able to catch up with the pace..but ultimately they r studying the Same programme...
As for the eesis or gep subsidy fees .. I think if u granted eesis then u will not be granted the gep subsidy.. U may like to read the first few pgs of the green secondary schools selection book which stated the eligibility of the diff scholarship and funds ....

Called scgs but they didn't want to give any commit answer. Though when I went before posting , someone looked at her past year result and said she stand a ggod chance and even ask for her name again so that she can look out for her . That wa when the cut off point was at 250.
The thing is that if I appealed to both sch and is accepted by either one ? In this case bpgh before scgs reply , do I have to accept already ? Can I still choose?
Dd prefer scgs to bpgh . It was a silly mistake . If we had chosen bpgh as 2 nd choice then no headache now .
That's a really tough decision. Does your dd prefer SCGS or BPGH? Have you called up SCGS to ask what her chances are?

Thanks so much for the swift response vlim, but I am still wondering why in the S1 IS Website it is reflected that I \"not been enrolled in the school-based special programme of an Independent School\", but I was told I have met BOTH GEP promotion and EESIS criteria in a MOE letter. I am confused, like you, i was told GEP students will be placed in gep classes to go thru the school based GE enrichment programme.

Hi paddi field. The bookstore is located at block B which is at their jc side. The selling of sec 1 books and uniform will be at the open area next to the book store. No idea what time they start to sell tomorrow, but we need to go somewhere near the yr1-4 admin block I suppose..for registration/ reporting .. Plus briefing ???
