      Funx3, all the best to your DD's GAT at RGS today.

      You mean NYGH so nice to wait 40 min for late comers? I thought if this is something that is important, then both DD and parents should try to be punctual.

      Funx3:
      Format the Same, But Paper No Same ....
      My Gal Say at NYGH 1st session, Waited Very Long, for some 3 or 4 who was not there .... almost 40 minutes (Finally started without those absentees ....)
      this is a 1 hr GAT test ....

      Her RGS GAT test (Last One to be Conducted) will be on Tomorow afternoon, 60Q in 20 min ....
      RGS Staff says .... Not the Same, Cannot skip or share results with other GAT tests ....

        Maybe there was a traffic jam? Or the kid had cold feet and backed out at the last minute?

          Hi realwhiz, so happy for your DD. Don't worry about whether this is normal procedure or not. What is important is that your DD's been given a chance. All the BEST!

          realwhiz:
          I received a call from NYGH on last Friday for my DD to attend violin audition on Wednesday (13 July)... even before the GAT test on Saturday. Is this the normal procedure?

            Looks like my boy is not the only one that the teachers remark about his hand writing, filing etc lol.


            Btw my son is thinking about bringing his P6 SS portfolio/project as presentation. Is that acceptable ?

              Hi hexagon, agree with jtoh that there is no point in \"forgetting\". Even if the school can't get it from your DS, they can always request from the Primary school. Moreover, like what you have pointed out, it actually leaves a bad impression.


              I don't think the interviewers will have time to look through the reports to quiz your DS about the \"negative\" comments. They will probably look at all the various aspects (GAT, results, interview, reports etc) and decide from there.

              Since you can no longer change the outcome for his SA results and reports, ask your DS to put in his best and be very sincere during the interview.

              hexagon:
              Dont think we will actually \"forget to bring\" (doesnt reflect very well on the child)....just wishful thinking.

                maybe yes or maybe no for GEP boys. Is there any increase of classes in Pri GEP classes for GEP boys for \"Year 2000 Dragon\" boys? I guess not. But I know for the \"Year 2000 Dragon gilrs\" there are additional classes. In RGPS, there are 3 classes of GEP classes instead of the normal 2. The rest of the GEP centers, no change from the pervious year.

                Anyone can confirm? I mgiht be wrong.

                RGPS has always had 3 GEP classes. They've had it for years. Nothing to do with Dragon babies.

                Not sure if there's increase in the number of GEP students for Dragon year. I only know that for my Ds year, the number of classes for each sch is as follows :
                1) Nan Hua - 4 classes
                2) Nangyang - 4 classes
                3) RGS - 3 classes
                4) Catholic High - 2 classes
                5) Henry Park - 2 classes
                6) St Hilda - 2 classes
                7) ACI - 3 classes
                😎 Tao Nan - 3 classes?? not sure
                9) Rosyth - 2 classes ??? not sure either.

                  At least to me parents with five kids are really blessed and can dream to place their kids in the following schools:


                  RI - 1
                  HCI - 1
                  NUSH - 1
                  SOTA - 1
                  SSP - 1

                  The above is akin to one who holds degrees from an ivy leagie uni, oxbridge and tsinghua/beida. Almost perfect academic credentials, academically unbeatable.

                    breanne:
                    Called RI, term report = P5/P6 report card. no need to make additional copies if hard copies submitted earlier.

                    :thankyou: breanne for clarifying.

                    It's also comforting to know that DS is not the only one with \"doctor's handwriting\" and self-control of someone half his age. πŸ˜„

                    Good luck to your DS's interview!
