Strange that in Nan Hua, SS is conducted with the mainstreamers. I thought the GEPers SS is a much tougher program?

They are not actually known as main streamers, they are actually known as Twinning. The difference is that Twinning students are selected by MOE, these students just missed the passing marks for GEP selections so they are placed in Twinning. My son'a batch (2009 PSLE) is the first graduating batch with Twinning program. Although the twinning students attended the SS but they are non-examination subject for them. Unlike the GEP students, their SS results is in A, B, C, D or Fail ( something like this) . However, the GEP students need to pass SS else considered fail (the rules for GEP, you are very clear right so I will not say too much).

Got it! Edanson. Thanks! Your kiddo excited?


Mine left his games a while ago, without any resistance. His last day of gaming is tomorrow. So, I’m glad to see that he’s mentally prepared/looking forward to Monday.

Son’s asking what’s the camp booklet to bring. Is it that little notepad, stuffed inside the green file received last week?

Hi Vito,

You can start from here and go a couple of pages forward. It was a hot topic last year. But Stomp has already removed the entire topic.

Thanks mathsparks but the article already removed by Stomp. So now I am still in the dark about the \"stories\".

I think 4 sets include the one they're wearing on Tues. But just to be sure, son is packing 4 sets. As for Fri, think they'll get some details in school. Quite laychey to fetch him home, only to return few hours later.


Ermm, chief, I'm trying to merge this with RI networking topic, but Not Authorised leh. :?

Thank you, Mathsparks. I thought I was already quite kiasu stocking up 4 sets of PE attire. Seems like it's still not enough.
