<![CDATA[GEP 2012 - Screening &amp; Selection]]>Just wanted to check if you all know of any permanent residents that have gotten into GEP, or are your kids’ classmates all Singaporeans. If none at all, I will not need to send my child to take the screening test. Many thanks

Think just the posting letter would suffice. Maybe the teacher thought it's just ordinary transfer to another school...maybe that kind then MOE doesn't do the admin for you?
:thankyou:

[quote=\"monmon31\"]Has any parents receive a transfer letter from their respective posted school? As I understand from DS form teacher, it needs to be sign by the principal of the kids former school before they can collect their 'old' report books.


I thought the new school posting letter said that they would be informing the old sch about the transfer. DD's school returned the report books to whole school over the hols and they only have to return it when sch reopens.

So we just bring this letter to the old school ? I was told by FT should bring transfer letter, that was why i was quite confuse. I wait a few more days then. Leaving for holiday soon, thought better to do all necessary before then.[/quote]Think just the posting letter would suffice.

In the appeal form there are only 2 choices, if none fit they should post back to originally posted school, which is normally your 2nd or 3rd choices in original selection.


Please note:
Deadline for submission: 29 Nov 2012

Is Corporation Primary a SAP school? Is it located at Jurong? Just curious the possible reasons they could get in nyps.


Got in GEP or got in NYPS? Corporation Pri a neighborhood Sch, nearest GEP centre is NHPS.

Corporation primary is Not a SAP school.
the nearest GEP centre is Nan Hua or Henry Park, but not Nanyang.

As puzzled as porcupine12trade. even all Pei Hwa students go to NYPS, including existing NYPS students, still 2 classes or 50 vacancies. Our distance is about 3.5 KM and could not get in. Are they a lot of SAPs school nearby? Really puzzled how is the posting decided?

I think similarity of originating school to the GEP centre should have higher priority over distance from home, else those who stay like Woodlands that are not near to any GEP centre will be at a very disadvantage.

During the GEP briefing, one of the NYPS teacher told me they have only 50 vacancies, not sure if that equate to 50 GEPpers from NYPS :shock: I did not clarify.
Pei Hwa's GEPpers are enough to form 1 class if all go to NYPS :nailbite:
NYPS being the most popular centre, not all who select NYPS will be accepted :sad:

My dd is posted to hpps (2nd choice) but we stay very near to nyps (1st choice), we also thought its by proximity, so a little surprise. Dd is happy to get into hpps.

MOE also look at the originating school your child comes from.

if orginating school is SAP school + stay near to NYPS, they may offer you NYPS. (example: child originate from Pei Hwa)

but if originating school is non SAP and co-ed, they'll give you back similar familiar environment ... Henry Park. So that the change is not so drastic, eg: from non SAP to SAP school. (unless substantiated by very strong reasons)

likewise,
if originating school is \"All Boys\" SAP primary school, he may be posted to Catholic High GEP. eg: original school from Maris Stellar

if originating school is Mission related and ACS still got vacancies left after slotting in those transfered over from ACS Junior, he may be posted to ACS Barker GEP. eg: original school from Geylang Methodist.

after all, the programme in the 9 GEP centre is the same curriculum.

Sounds right 🙂 but there are not many SAP schools around.
