vlim:

all the 9 gep principals and head of the moe gep department will be on stage to answer to all your queries.... :lol: and one or two principal might be 'selling' their school to u haaaaaaa

Any idea whether the breifing usually drag on or end early or on time?

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?

oops emm forgotton la.. I think is quite on time.. U should reach there earlier before the briefing starts so that you can visit and make the necessary enquiry at the booths of all the gep schools.

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

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[vlim]

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.
