GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

[Nebbermind]

octoberbaby:

By now, all schools should get the letter. Perhaps the kids never get in, school chose to be silence. That happened in the other schools.

All the GEP 1st round qualifier didn't even know who went in last year. Until early this this at P4, they were told that this boy transferred out for GEP programme. The letters were also distributed early this year at P4.

but those who went for selection but didn't get in should receive a small envelop mah...there should be a closure, ya?

That small envelope was given beginning at this year, when they are in P4 this year. Strange school. Why is there so secretive about announcing GEP qualifiers.

Every child is unique and special. Everyone is smart in his or her own way. GEP is just a ruler to measure one very specific dimension, like whether you are taller or shorter.


To be happy and/or successful, it depends much more on what values and character you build in your child.

You cannot have everything in the world.

Treasure your child for what they are and treasure what you have

Our school received results yesterday, but only released this morning. Very slow hor. Both yellow and white envelopes given out.

My eyes popped when I saw my son holding a yellow one when I picked him up just now.

He told me when it was given to him, he was nonplussed because his FT told them in Mandarin it’s for "gao something". He thought it was for Higher Chinese!!! So he rolled his eyes lah since he’s quite lousy at CL. He just asked if he can drop it at P4, ha!

Gep programme will be very different, GEPer are more prepared for IP and good in doing project works.

Thank you parents for your inputs- I understand where you are coming from...

Since GEP is about exposure and broadening perspectives, then if my gal can get the exposure through intermingling class in NYPS- then there is no need to be in GEP, that is my opinion...

As GEP seems very time consuming, to the extent of limited time to prepare for PSLE, and since PSLE is the key deciding factor to enter sec 1, then I feel I have to pace my gal to strive towards achievable goals, rather than over-stretch her...

Yes, it is ultimately her decision, and we have to support and be there for her throughout the journey...I fully agree too...

Do keep your views coming, I do appreciate it...
