2009 GEP Screening And Selection
-
Wrt RGPS, can anyone enlighten me :
1. Is GEP in the morning session ? What are the school hrs ?
2. How often do GEPers @ RGPS have to stay back after school?
3. Is homework completed mostly in school or at home ?
Thanks!
I have been very stressed over GEP. dd was very sure she did not want to take it up until she knew she got in. Now she is fixated on going to RGPS.
We stay in Woodlands (proximity is defintely not a gd reason but then again, none of the GEP schs are near my place), she's from a mixed school (can't use Girls' sch as a reason). I do not know what other reasons to give.
Public transport wise, there is a bus that (961) goes to RGPS from WDL bus interchange but i think the journey is very far ... 41 bus stops. (Nanyang 45 bus stops, Nanhua i thk 30+ bus stops, the rest of the schools no direct bus from WDL). woodlands is so ulu.
My mum is dead against dd joining GEP. I explained to her that it is dd's decision (tho not her ultimate, final decision yet), aft she has been told the pros/cons and that I also pref dd to stay put in current sch (I love stauts quo, hate changes). But my mum says it's a terrible mistake to let a 'small child, who doesn't know anythg' make the decision. she say 'u all adults are very irresponsible to want to make her go thru a stressful childhood and shd help her decide to reject GEP'.
now my mum is giving me a hard time.
and no, she is not taking care of dd. I am. -

Lots of CCA going around the school this holidays, fyi, altho' yeah, not as many students as during term time.
The school holiday started end of last week.. hence not much activities you'll see there this week... according to them, generally the GEP program will finish 2 weeks earlier for all the 9 schools... -

Wow. That is far. Can you send yourself? Otherwise, it's a very long commute daily. Hard on your child. Maybe you'll get lucky and find a GE school with school bus that serves the Woodlands area only. -

NYPS - The overal GEP TOP performer each year comes for each level comes from this school. [quote=\"2centsworthy\"]
As far as I know, from information divulged by GEP teachers, this is definitely not true. The school which produces the top performer for each year/level varies from year to year. Perhaps many but certainly, not all hail from NYPS.
Whatever it is, these kids are all very bright and it is not really important whether one is at the top or bottom of the top 1%. Making it to the top 1% is already a very remarkable feat in itself.
:congrats: to all successful P3 GEP pupils and their parents !!!

I am wondering is there a need for the younger sibling to follow to GEP school, especially if the 'old' school is nearer to home?
What are the advantages of being in the same GEP school? Thanks for sharing your thoughts
