[quote=\"Lovemummy\"]Alternatively, u can call up the school gep HOD (if u can't get them then u can try calling the school general office to check) to ask about the transferring of your younger son..He/she should be able to advise u as I believe every year parents like u will raise this question.


Thx for your explanations, really appreciated that..I was thinking to drop by to NHPS and fill up whatever type of forms that required, hopefully the school will help to process the transfer.

Can try your luck...

Was asking Rosyth's GEP HOD on the chances of my DD to go in Rosyth for P2 if my DS choose Rosyth and can get in. The response was something like this: Don't just because of the sibling, you don't choose our school. 'Our school is popular you know'... so something like no guarantee for the sibling / DD to be able to transfer eventhough DS go in the GEP...

Hence the final decision of my DS to choose CHS. Since DD no guarantee, might as well he go in boys school which DD cannot go also...[/quote]Ha..ha..syshi u really had bad experience with Rosyth gep HOD ..during last yr rosyth school tour by the HOD (there are actually 2 gep HODs in rosyth)..one of the parents did ask her abt the same questions...the reply was the same..they could not quarantee as school was popular ...but I think what they meant was ' every class was up to their max size already'...however we were told to fill up the transfer request form and the principal will try to accomodate... thereafter I got to know a gep students' twin brother managed to transferred to p4 mainstream to rosyth...

Ha..ha..syshi u really had bad experience with Rosyth gep HOD ..during last yr rosyth school tour by the HOD (there are actually 2 gep HODs in rosyth)..one of the parents did ask her abt the same questions...the reply was the same..they could not quarantee as school was popular ...but I think what they meant was ' every class was up to their max size already'...however we were told to fill up the transfer request form and the principal will try to accomodate... thereafter I got to know a gep students' twin brother managed to transferred to p4 mainstream to rosyth...
:D[/quote]Was the GEP HOD you mentioned old lady?

The twin brothers case were highlighted during the Question-Answer session by Rosyth Principal as the father (Ang Moh) already write in to them.

Compare to CHS HOD which straightaway gave us her HP no. during the school tour and tell us if any query can contact her (without hesitation)... of course my DS feels more 'friendly'...

Was actually looking at whether can put both my DS & DD into same school beforehand, but was disappointed with the response.

Allocated 2nd choice - Henry Park.


May I ask those parents whose children r already in Henry Park - typically which day do they have to stay back for computer enrichment and higher chinese? (must start to logistic - sorry, I'm quite a \"last minute\" mum :!: )

Something is puzzling me - if they have to stay back for HCL, then what do they do during CL lessons? :?
