GEP 2012 - Class Starting P4 in 2013

[porcupine12trade]

Some info based on my briefing


1) NYPS - more competitive due to highest number of classes - 4 x 25-28pax/class. only one day staying back, for CCA, most of the work will be done during school hour, but end class at 1.30pm
2) ACS - only 2 classes, already 35 or so from exisiting boys, so only few vacancies left. wide CCA selection, inhouse facilities, principal seems good (his response to one question posted was impressive)
3) HPPS - seems very eager to capture the cream of GEP students
4) NHPS - focus on Chinese?
5) TNPS - small class size , 16-20pax/class, further split interest of Chinese culture into two sets. Bicap and ELLAP? At least 2-3days a week staying back
6) CH - Kids very confident, teachers needs probing, stay back 2days at least
7) SHPS - teachers are helpful during briefing , stay back 3days

Thanks for the info. May I know the purpose of staying back other than for CCA?

Kids stay back mostly for projects, research and extra enrichment sessions or even Field trips. Mostly are due to projects though. I have who told me their kid don't even have time to talk to them, since they are at school till late (3-5pm), come back home, shower, meal, do homework and time to sleep.

Now that the posting is out, will we be informed about the book list,etc?

[adafew]

I understand there will be minimal textbooks used since the class materials are usually tailored. Still there should be the list

There were book lists given in the packages I picked up from the diff sch during the briefing. You prob have yours in there already

[adafew]

Only ACS and i think HPPS gives out the book list, others give out the transport list and school information?

[marcolisa]

NHPS has the book list in the info pack gotten from the booth on the briefing day.

Okie I was checking what I collected during briefing, ACS and NHPS has the book list

RGPS and Rosyth also gave out the booklists in their packages.
