2009 GEP Screening And Selection

[EQmum]

[quote]When do they start remedial and under what criteria and for what subjects? When will they stop remedial? Are there many GEP studetns attending remedial?


Is remedial lesson common in all other GEP centres?[/quote]
I cannot remembered whether he attended any remedial in P4. But this year he is required to attend the Maths remedial. He started his remedial class after his June holiday. I am not very sure on the criteria but I guess it because his scored is below the average score of the whole GEP corhort. Or for students that the teacher thinks is necessary. It end before CA2 and more than half for languages and lesser for the Maths and Science.

You mean CH not so popular (good in Acadamic and overall development) . I heard Rosyth Acadimically very strong :x

I think what keroppi and vlim meant was that both the schools have better saleman/principal. :evil:

ApronMama:

Anyone know whether GEP students are included in the Edusave scholarship of top 5% & 10 % at end of P5 and P6 togather with the mainstream students or they have a seperate one?

Hi ApronMama,

GEP pupils are assessed separately at the end of P5 & 6 and awarded the Edusave scholarships accordingly - top 5% of GEP pupils in that particular GEP school ($300), next 5%($250). This means that, depending on the standard of the centre, the cut-off for selection of the top 10% differs from school to school.

Goodness me… i finally finish the thread and catch up on the discussion. it is really worth my time today to catch up on the latest hot topic here.


Ok. My son is now in greenridge primary school, bukit panjang. We haven’t decided on whether to opt for GEP till after tmr briefing… right now it stand, it is like 90% NO, 10% YES. His chinese is not good and thus, we would avoid considering SAP school… He already had enough challenges ahead i.e. env changes etc. Looking at the list of non-SAP school, and we are in bukit panjang, our only option nearest seems to be Henry Park. i have yet to figure out the public transport in case my son need to take it on his own after CCA.

I didn’t see a lot of folks here mentioning about Henry Park except for TwaTou comment… which is valuable for me. Thks! Other than academic, i heard from someone they are using MI approach. Anyone care to share?

anyway 'don't judge the book by the cover'...' so so principal' doesn't mean that their teachers are 'so so'..Most of gep teachers are very good and experience teachers.

Yes, it's on time. But there is a Q&A session after that - you can opt to stay or leave. Some parents super lor sor ... so we left soon after and found that no more refreshements left.
