MrBig:

Anyone here in the OBA ?

I'm an OB without the A....keke!

LOLMum:

:congrats: to all.


my neighbour did well in his exams too........... :dancing:

For the first time, the top GEP boy in Singapore for PSLE is from ACSP. Unfortunately he will be going to RI.

jtoh:

Did he try out for RI and didn't get in?

Yup.

ngbrdad:

Oh and what was the outcome for the presidential candidate's grandson ?

The grandson is going to ACSI. Maybe your DS will be in the same class as him....keke.

autolycus:

Or you could take a cab — those are public transport too.

Hi autolycus,

Thanks for the tongue-in-cheek comment
Cab will cost about $15 to $16....unless there are a few other boys who are willing to taxi-pool.

Can any parents or boys tell me which is the easiest and fastest way by public transport to get to MOELC in Bishan from school?

stressedoutmummy:

Hi, i'd like to know if there is any special arrangement for Muslim boys attending ACSI i.e. are they exempted from attending the chapel sessions and going for Friday prayers at the mosque. We are staying in the central, is there any transport providers? How abt 3rd lang, where is the lessons conducted? Pls help...this mummy is tearing her hair out trying to find boys schools with 250 t-score...

Hi stressedoutmummy,
Chapel sessions at ACSI are the default, but you can write in to be excused.

Just curious, any reason why you are only looking at boys' schools?

porcupine4963:

Students who were from the GEP in primary school, along with high performing mainstream students (probably the higher-scorers in the DSA tests, and those who had attained approximately 264 and above) would get into one of the SBGE classes. Such classes would allow students to:
1. Participate in special external and internal programs and courses meant for GEP pupils.
2. Study an advanced curriculum for certain subjects, which may involve learning extra topics. Assessed courseworks may also differ from the mainstream IP depending on the syllabus for the year. Tests and exams usually do not differ.
3. Attend a GEP camp, which allows participants to immerse themselves in various activities (for this year, we attended language and culture courses on various nations around the world.)

Hope this gives you a general idea of how the school functions with regards to admissions

Hi Porcupine,

Thanks for the info. Based on what you have given, do I understand that the IP program is further divided into SBGE classes and IP mainstream classes?

Hi Leanne

This is very scary! :nailbite:

Think the stress will spread to CL and Science next week as these two subjects become some hope to help to cover for math.

It does sound scary, but we parents must look calm and continue to encourage them....sighz...now it's getting to me. :gloomy:
