[quote=\"Nebbermind\"]Advanced Children's Day presents for these kids, I guess!!

:congrats:

Hahaa DS don't feel happy at all that he advances to the next stage, asking me why he needs to take another 4 papers(Eng, GA1, Math & GA2). You see, he is not keen to change school as he is very attached to his cca and school friends. Now I hope his friends from other classes qualify too.

Ya. To many kids it's a bitter sweet kinda feeling if they r not already in a gep school.[/quote]Anyway he had agreed to go for the selection test. Told him no point worrying about it now, just do his best. He may not get selected (& we are already very happy that he made it to second round). If he qualifies, we can still choose to go or not after the briefing.

Donch need to prep.
What they really need is emotional support...change school, change pace, change friends etc

...the curriculum is really overhyped n not such a big deal unless u have the need to always stay ahead of your peers which is more challenging now that they will be swimming with all the big fishes!

Hi JAR

Btw, which school is your DS from?

:thankyou:
DS is from Poi Ching.

Guess not all kids are notified yet as it seemed(from DS's desciption) that his principal had just gotten the result slip hot from the mail and rushed to inform the kids before school ended today.

:congrats:

The principal is kiasu one... :evil:
