Well, you have 84 pages of information to go through. Should be able to obtain the information you need within these 84 pages.

Hi


I'm a newbie here.

We just got news our son got in GEP.

He is from a neighbourhood school, and two of his other friends also received the yellow envelope, both boys.

We are really new to this, so hope to get some advice on how to choose the GEP school / help our child to cope with the GEP program etc in future from the helpful and experienced mummies and daddies here

thks!

Congratulations almond.
There are experienced GEPers parents here and they will be able to share their experiences with u

my dream is over.. dd didnt make it..


she's also from a neighbourhood school, 7 of her classmates got it...

It's ok :grphug:
Your DD is already very impressive to be the top 10% of the cohort. You should be proud of her.
GEP is a bonus, good to have, ok to miss

Actually I wanted to ask this question long time ago. To me even those schools along bukit timah are also schools but in rich neighbourhood area. Or maybe we should call it popular and not so popular schools. Please comment, anyone?

I always found it strange that when I ask friends \"Your kid in P1 this yr right?\" and then the answer always has such a qualifier \"Ya, he's in a neighbourhood school\". Like school have no name....sigh.
:stupid:

Thanks for all the congrats msg


It's a relief to be informed by the school of this GEP results, regardless of the outcome, as the suspense is really killing!

Sorry, I didnt know the rules here.. haha, have just left a newbie msg in the other thread.

Anyway, GEP or not, all the kids will have to take PSLE 3 years later, so that is the more important test we should concentrate on, right?

Arrgh, being a Sporean parent is so stressful sometimes

hahaha i think the probability for GEP is much higher than toto... select 500 out of 4000 students the probability is 12.5%
