How does the EESIS/ GEP grant thing work ?

On 3/1/12 must submit cheque or cash for school fees etc right ?
So pay full first then they will give reimbursement ?

My ds school it stated giro will be activated on 3/4 for jan to dec 2013 fees .. So no need to pay when school starts right .. :roll:

Maybe some schools don't deduct GIRO so early? But I assume most would.

Tough Cookie:

There are 2 categories of students amongst the lower scorers: the bright ones and not so bright ones. The bright ones may eventually make it if they work hard. The reason that they failed to excel during PSLE is that they spent too much time on training. The not so bright ones, in my opinion, are quite clueless actually. I observed that during their project discussion in my house.

The problem with those who are heavily invested in their CCAs is that their training schedule will continue to be as busy if not more so in secondary school as in primary school, so this will continue to have an impact on their academic potential.

RI will give the giro deduction schedule for the whole year after the school term starts, and the first deduction won't start so soon

Hi ngbrdad

Have you submit the EESIS form to the school today?

In the ACS(I) starter kit, there is a Yellow form that listed the break down of the school fee for O level for different group(Singaporean, Singapore PR, EESIS/SBSP, Foreigner and SB Scholar/Asean Scholar)

I guess you should be paying $290 for Jan & Feb School fee if your DS has EESIS grant.

Just joking .. I suppose your latter reason is most possible ...

HI, my son registered RI, they will have a camp. A question: will they wash their dirty clothes everyday? Or they will keep the dirty clothes of those days in the bag until coming back home for washing.

Thanks. Missed that column initially.
Only saw the $690 part so not sure how they offset.
So I guess submit the giro form on 3/1 and it will only take effect in March right ?
Btw they collected our EESIS/GE grant form.
That's the norm right ?
