Bras basah have quite a few....for literature books, there's one on the 2nd floor (i think - if not 2nd flr, then 3rd floor), but along the long corridor above the posb atm.

thnx for the details

karmeleon:

Can get from second-hand bookstores or not, I wonder.


When school year had just ended in October, I was looking for the To Kill a MockingBird book for my daughter bc she wanted to start reading it since she was quite free after year-end exams. I couldn't find it at any bookshop, but I found at 2nd-hand bookstore. It ended up being exactly the same as the actual one used by the school when I finally ordered from Pacific Bookstores when the online ordering became available a month later.

can you give us the address of the 2nd hand book stores :?:

turquoise:

Yes you can. Just call MOE/GEP Branch with your request.

:thankyou:

Putting back the same question again....When we change house . Is there any way to request for change of school . How does this process works for GEP students . Does any one have experience..... :?: :?: :?:


Chief seeking your advise....

*** Can any parent share how the PSLE scores mostly for GEP kids in the 9 GEP offering school.


*** Expecially in ENG, Maths , these are sub’s that are drilled to depth.

*** How the min t-score for GEP kids calculated when they apply for DSA. I dont see any exact info.

syshi:

That's why a bit loss on why the publisher listed... thought all the story should be the same???

then for school sake we need to buy the publisher they have given but for reading purpose we can check what is the difference ( we need to compare and see the books) and may be get that from lib to read.... :idea:

syshi:

the Charlotte Web need to be from Pearson which indicated in the school book list? Can it be by other publisher? What is the difference?

for HP the publisher is Puffin. :? What is the difference .Different stories is it ? :stupid:

cluelessmama:

I don't know whether I will get scolding but after looking at the number of days my baby needs to stay back, really feel like opting out of GEP.

cluelessmama, All we want is kids not be stressed and at the same time get the best . Parents are the best to know their kids potential and how much stress they can take . Main concern of the GEP is not the pgm itself but the add ons like extra tuitions like what mathsparks says + long journey and more CCA's (Long Hours even mainstream have ).

FYI . What I heard from another parent is if you decide not to o for GEP then the deadline is Dec 4th to inform MOE and school (but not sure where did they get this date) and after that the vacancy in current school will be given to waiting list parents .

syshi:

Anyone know what is the reading list for P4 GEP aside from the Charlotte Web?


And whether the Charlotte Web need to be from Pearson which indicated in the school book list? Can it be by other publisher? What is the difference?

check below links. parents have already listed out....

Hi dskmum, please see my reply in blue[/quote]


Hi yukilei, thnx a lot for the details .... If Lib that is good as my DS always attached to books and can spend the time worthy... I always hear HP have less no of students in a class which is one way very good. not sure this year how as I hear schools like Rosyth and CH more than the 50 students admitted, though exact fig is not known based on what I see in the forum
