My understanding is that most schools would have chosen the prefects at P4. GEP students at new sch might have passed the selection timeline. or do anyone knows if there is still possibility to be prefect via GEP? As is competitive,I believe is also harder to aim for top 10% for scholarship as well ? Even for yearly edusave? Is that a consideration whether to choose GEP as well?

Yes, it is part of the consideration as well. Give some, take some..

Curious about the edusave awards as well . Are the GEP kids considered separately from the mainstream for the award ?

Yes they are coz GEP kids take different papers except P6 prelim and psle.[/quote]Thank you for sharing!

Not sure if any parents have the same consideration like me..If the child didnt go for GEP,the current school already have leadership role for the child next year. Most probably higher percentage to receive year end awards..If the child change school for GEP, everything will be back to zero..And no prefectorial position at P4 , less chances for awards and competition. So what is the perks for being in GEP?

In my humble opinion, GEP not really about having perks at all. The idea is to put these gifted kids in an environment that best acknowledges and develops them. This itself is the best gift for the gifted. Had a chat with my kid. She’s very attached to her friends and also very enthusiastic about her prefect role. Honestly don’t think her chances are high, but if selected surely we’ll have another conversation. Edusave awards not even in our consideration till it was brought up 😬 don’t think it should matter much

Let the kids have fun tomorrow. Wishing all a peace of mind and success in whichever path 🙏🏽😊

Thanks Zeal mummy.

Ya same thoughts as AHsDad. I am only interested in the smaller class size that GEP class offers but is very apprehensive about academic expectations.

How are students selected for ivp for p5 ISO? is it based on results for science?

Glad to know of this thread to support clueless parent like me.


TBH, my concern is the ‘aftermath’ on how to deal with my kid after the release of the GEP results. Honestly, I think she doesn’t have much chance to be selected.
How as a parent, be able to support her after that?
Knowing that she has been selected for the second round, I’m actually quite proud of her already.
In view of the current society and constant changes with HBL / Covid, I still believe that mental health is very crucial.

Just reflecting on the RV case and also others, I feel as a parent what can one do to show that afterall GEP / PSLE results / score / marks / status or whatever doesn’t really matter cos I still love her as who she is and not what she has not achieve.

Praying for a smooth journey for all. Be happy n healthy, that’s all one can ask for. Nothing more
