2009 GEP Screening And Selection

[karmeleon]

dskmom:

thnx for the details

Ok,...the 2nd-hand bookshop is called \"BookPoint\" on 3rd level. I just went today. I bought \"A Wrinkle in Time\" and some Sherlock Holmes books plus some other books which I thought my boy would be interested in. And there are quite a few copies, including Charlotte's Web, so if you don't need new copies, or your child is not in GEP but would like to read, then yeah, can get from here. Ranges from S$4 to S$8. And now having 20% discount - maybe more if you give the man a sweet big smile. *haha*.

Yay !


Just received delivery of dd's school books ! We placed an order with Pacific Bookstore (Rosyth's book supplier) last week. But the Charlotte's web we got is by Puffin and not Pearson.

Hmm ... according to the booklist on its website, it shd be by Pearson leh. Will hv to call Pacific tomorrow to check why.

Rosyth did not send any GEP package/letter and cld not get hold of its HOD yet (maybe on holiday ?) Main office says GEP matters hv to be referred to her.

Oh well, if nothing is heard out from the school, dd will just report for school on 4 Jan with whatever we deem necessary to bring.

And we have bought dd's uniform too The pinafore is so cute (but rather difficult to iron, what with the many creases and folds)

Will wait for school to start to find out which house she's assigned to before buying her PE top (which is colour coded according to House)

Ordered book but not delivered yet. They get to wear polo collar T-shirt for both PE and on usual days.

HPPS send package to us for a brief intro, which is good.

Teachers are great coz they attended to my queries even during school hols

Is your child excited? For mine, I don't think the whole thing has compeletly sunken in yet - maybe it's the denial syndrome.

Bought the book the first saturday after the announcement. The week after that, received the welcome package and class arrangement from CHS on what to expect or bring on the first day of school. Given 3 weeks period to get the name tag done.

Quite organized and the HOD GEP attended to the SMS I sent by calling me back.

My DS look forward to his new school...

Wonder if parents need attend school for P4 GEP kids on the first day of school just like P1 first day of school ? Any meeting parents sessions from school at NHPS for P4 GEP on first day? So far nothing communicated and no welcome package also leh …

[syshi]

For CHS, in the welcome package, mentioned that on the first day, the parents will be usher to another place for the briefing. So maybe for other GEP school, need to be prepare in case they also have the same kind of arrangement…

For HPPS, I asked and they say the parents could accompany their children up to the hall on the first day. Meet the parents session will be later, I think within the first few weeks.

The children will be given a 2-day orientation. :lol:

Not sure if Blur_daddy is still reading this post…

Blur_daddy, need to check with you. Think you mentioned in the earlier post that CLA will be on Monday & HCL will be on Tuesday. Did someone from HPPS told you this? Cos the package that we receive said the Chinese teacher will inform the children on this when school starts. Need to make some logistic arrangement. Will you be able to confirm on this?
