Hi again
For those who are attending the GEP briefing this Wed, are you all arriving there early to view the GEP booths?
Any one of you whose child did not take Higher Chinese, but intend to enrol him /her in a GEP SAP school?
I am worried about mine. His current school is non-SAP, and his Chinese is quite terok, but I am eyeing on GEP SAP school, so abit worried his chances of getting in would be low. Also even if he gets in, dunno whether he can cope???
Any parents with similar experience to share? thks!!

RE: Mummy almonds: Newbie mum
hi all
thks very much for all the 'Welcome' messages!
thks to qms (Wow.. my first 'supporter'), titank, buds (longest welcome msg which is also kinda funny), jedamum (I also never dreamt of GEP, thats why I put mine in neighbourhood school, but sometimes, God has other plans...) , all.in.one (I ADORE almonds!!), amylqf, hmsg etc
Wow, I am really touched by the friendly posters here, never have I come across so many 'Welcome' banners before in my first postings to a new forum!
Who says \"kiasu-ism\" is not something we should be proud of? Judging from the friendly banter and helpful exchanges I have witnessed in the forum here, I think it's great!
Three cheers for all the kiasu-parents here! :celebrate: -
RE: 2009 GEP Screening And Selection
Thanks for all the congrats msg

It's a relief to be informed by the school of this GEP results, regardless of the outcome, as the suspense is really killing!
Sorry, I didnt know the rules here.. haha, have just left a newbie msg in the other thread.
Anyway, GEP or not, all the kids will have to take PSLE 3 years later, so that is the more important test we should concentrate on, right?
Arrgh, being a Sporean parent is so stressful sometimes

Mummy almonds: Newbie mum
Hi
I'm a newbie mum here who lurked around for two weeks in the GEP thread and enjoyed the humorous conversation threads there for the past two weeks.
Hoping to learn from the helpful posters here and to share our experiences together.

RE: 2009 GEP Screening And Selection
Hi
I'm a newbie here.
We just got news our son got in GEP.
He is from a neighbourhood school, and two of his other friends also received the yellow envelope, both boys.
We are really new to this, so hope to get some advice on how to choose the GEP school / help our child to cope with the GEP program etc in future from the helpful and experienced mummies and daddies here
thks!
