I do not know. I have the impression that the GEP briefing talk is this morning. Or have I made a mistake. Maybe parents whose kids are selected for the program this year can confirm the briefing time and date. Sorry if I have made a mistake.

Hi, I think I am right. The briefing is in this morning. Hope you did not miss the briefing. If u have, u may want to check with the GE branch on what u may have missed out today. Or do you have any friends whose child has been selected for the program? U may want to check with them too.

Glad that we went for the briefing. DS is convinced that GEP curriculum is something he would like to try, he thinks the student briefing is great and he actually enjoyed the session. From not wanting to go to he is definitely going for it.

For the benefit of other who might want to know, this year out of 4000 who cleared first round, 557 made it to GEP, of which 325 are boys and 232 girls.

School posting result out on 26th Nov.

This is usually the case. The kids are more keen to join the program when the parents are still hesitating.
Anyway glad that yr ds has made the choice and like the program.
All the best.

Hi JAR, I went for the briefing this morning and just realise that although I know the posting will be on 26th nov, I don't really recall how they said they would inform us... :oops: did you or any other parent happen to catch that?

From past year, think they send it to your home address.

When I submit the form jus now after the briefing, the staff tell me to check the address on the form if it is correct, they will post the result to us to this address.

You would rather to believe gep kids can't do the difficult questions than the easier questions! :evil:


I kapohed and gathered from some gep kids after the psle la....

ss501:

teddy:

...Please do not think that psle exams is all about the drilling. The fact is many gep kids can't answer those psle questions are those high order thinking questions which mainstreamers obviously find difficult to answer.
So, don't say gep kids are not expected to do well. They have all it takes to do well in psle than mainstreamers :please:

I wonder where you derived that \"fact\" from? How do you know that gep kids can't answer those PSLE questions? No offense, but are you a PSLE marker?
