Hi all


May I get feedback from some of you whose children were originally already studying the schools offering GEP? Did the school provide additional training to your children when they were due to sit for the GEP assessment?

Thanks.

Not at all for CHS

Don't have. I don't know anyone who has gone for outside training either. The only place where I keep hearing of training is here on kiasuparents. If it's so effective, then GEP will be populated by rich people or people who don't mind throwing out $$$, but I don't get the sense at all.

BUT, if its true that, as one of the parents implied, a proportion of the 26 kids from a certain top girls' school were trained and were therefore successful in getting in, then we will see (even?) more trained kids going forward.

Wish I had access to the training school's records, just to satisfy my own curiousity :).

River Valley Pri School - 6-7 (according to neighbour's maid, :shock: )

Yeah I too was a little surprised, but does that mean the school is worse off than another that produces 20 GEPers? I am hoping that the school will retain its good teachers and nurture this current batch of students all the way to P6. I've suggested to the school to implement something like 'high ability' classes next year.

FYI, there are 6 from my DS' class (4B, 2G). Most of them going to HPPS, your DS' school.

Saw those kids from Rosyth were still given coaching by teachers when they were taking the second round in Anderson....

I think they are coached for the GEP test...
