2009 GEP Screening And Selection

[Way2GO]

Aiya, was hoping your kid can get into first choice school so that I get chance to eat your cookies. You can try appealing if you want.

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? :?

what is your first choice? nygs?

If I recalled correctly, her first choice is NYPS. I just got the letter for my DS2 today. Yeah, much later than expected. I joked to him that MOE made a mistake with his GEP selection.

Hi cluelessmama,


Base on what we got from HPPS during school visit, IRS and Computer enrichment programme both are arranged on Fri afternoon, 1.30-4.30pm. CL/HCL will be on Mon/Tue, 1.30-3pm, I think CL-Mon, HCL-Tue... not clearly stated. So already 2 out of 5 weekdays. Depending on which CCA u enroll your kid, u might need to allocate 1 more day... :roll:

Responsed back to your PM.

Vlim, DS2 seemed to have a quite confidence about him or he simply bochap - I couldn't really tell. He just waited for the news, not gan cheong at all.
Not all GEPers get thro' DSA to school of their choice. They have to do well in GEP and also PSLE, though I think many have gotten admitted to sec school thro' DSA on the strength of their GEP P5 & P6 results before PSLE results are known.

Nice meeting u too. I think MOE will try to accomodate as much as they can. Really think u can try to appeal with good reasons if your kid is still keen on NYPS.
