GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

[NotKiasu]

ChristinaCha:

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?

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:

Anyone appealing to Nanyang?


I wonder how likely the appeal can go through?

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.

If we appeal and state only one school but was rejected. Will they then post us to another school instead of the school originally posted?

Heard from a teacher friend Corporation Primary got 2 got in.

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

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