ICBC is the largest bank in the world in terms of total assets and one of the biggest 4 state owned bank in China. I believe it should be rather reliable.

Hey 3.6 is a pretty decent Gpa at least fr my child's standard. :))) from wat i knw 3.6-4.0 is the above average Gpa.

If ur child can maintain that throughout the years, that means he is really really very smart & disciplined.
I understand when a boy gets abt 2.6, their parents will need to see the Deputy principal.
I bet ur child is doing really well.
It is true wif the cca competition & more sch wrk, it can only gets tougher. But not too worry 3.6 is a very reputable Gpa & its vey rare to see a boy coming off way lower than wat they usually gets.

In one of sec 1 classes this year, a parent shared that GPA 3.6 is the class average for myct. So any score above 3.6 is definitely above average!

Please advise.


If you had come with me to the performance, you (would have) or (would have had) enjoyed the show!

Thanks.

(would have)

That is, 'would have' + 'enjoyed' (past participle).

This is an example of the 3rd Conditional.

Thank you.

Please advise.

Do not recall HCI asking P6 DSA students to sit for 3 subject Tests, last year (2014) nor in the past.[/quote]


I think it used to be a free response written test and interview for the Geppers.
It seems like there are a lot of changes in DSA 2015, especially for the Geppers.[/quote]

My mother told me that HCI seems to be the least \" friendly\" towards Geppers in 2015 DSA with its changes. :nailbite:

Other IP schools' requirements, stated in their latest application forms, such as RI and ACSI are more similar to previous year for Geppers.[/quote]

More details on new requirements for Geppers, if any, should be available when hci dsa online application is opened on 23rd May.

For children who feel the need to be stretched beyond what the mainstream schools can offer, GEP offers an alternative for them to develop and blossom.


Setting aside the DSA Academic advantage for GEP students will hopefully reinforce (or reinstate) GEP as the program for gifted kids and not a perceived shortcut to be taken to bypass PSLE entry requirements. Maybe, there will be fewer GEP training centres.

I suppose there will be more considerations by parents accepting GEP for their kids this year. We have to wait and see if this change is for the better...
