HyperKiasu:
any GEPers' parents here care to share what kind of charateristics your child display in early childhood? also other informations like:
were they breastfed? if not, what is the brand of the formul milk did they drink? what kind of food do they eat? (more seafood?)
are they mischievous?

yap u may say so...But for borderline 'gifted' children..maybeeeee it helps......but these children who manage to get in to GEP eventually..emmm hopefully they can cope with the programme.. :idea:[/quote]MOE has a program for borderline gifted kids, so they won't lose out if they are in the right school .......i think MOE website has the infoverykiasu2010:
[quote=\"vlim\"]But anyway, if your kids don't pass their entry test, I suppose u know what it mean....they also don;t want u to waste money
therefore, it means that if the kids pass their entry test, they are also smart enough and hence don't need to join their tuition
it is extremely easy teach the smart and motivated kids -

You mean the twinning prog? My son was in this, but the moment he opt out from taking HCL in p5, he was *out* of the prog. So, the provision is not perfect. He totally enjoyed his p4 year bc of the very interesting approach. Too bad it was short-lived.

nah I am merely a very curious person, esp when it comes to education. Anyway how do they select the students for this high ability learner class anyway?

they have the SA2 results of P1 to P3 and also have details of the GEP round 2 results -

Oh well, my boy was put in this programme based on his GEP screening test. Opt-out HCL bc he is poor in Chinese, lah. Is that very unusual? But there is no high-ability programme available in their school for the Non-HCL classes.phankao:

Realised I am quite out of touch with current education system after pr. school. Can I ask if Chinese High School still exists or it is now called HCI? And for the Raffles family, gals will join RGS for 4 yrs and then move to RI (so RJC doesn't exist too?)? And boys will stay in RI for 6 yrs?HCI's integrated with NYGH. All girls join HCI for the integrated programme unless they want to transfer/do too badly that they took O levles.
Its not HCJC. Its HCI (College)
