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.

On the contrary, DS is not happy as he was the first to be called by the principal to receive the test slip and he thought he had done something wrong. He got a bad fright plus he don't want to change school. But I am super thrilled and proud of him. :rahrah:

:congrats: Jar

:thankyou:

[quote=\"HyperKiasu\"]looks like round 1 result not yet released. If not released today or tmr, then it has to be next week as No school on Friday and no lesson on Thurs (Children's Day Celebration).

Result out.
My DS got in and quite a number of his classmates(mixed ability class) also qualify.

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!
