I personally do not believe that there is any ‘bad school’. IMHO, only bad student.


Since you have recognised the need to move UP, put in your effort, do your best, and I believe we will be looking at another top scorer in 4 years from now.

Read / re-read those successful cases from recent N-level. They went thru worse situation but see what they managed to achieve. Read the story of the top scorer…he rocks…

Hi all,

Finally I need to WAKE up for my honeymoon for DS studies and play a supportive role to DS's education.

Beside distance from home as mentioned, what about the past PSLE results? I realised that not all GEP sch post their past PSLE results. Also how many of the GEP sch their students are accepted, it would indirectly affecting our chances to the sch right?
From the earlier posts, these are what was mentioned
NYPS - 34,
SHPS - 10,

Can other parents from the other GEP sch advice?
MTIA.

It should be 12 from SHPS...

[quote=\"Intelligent\"]Does anyone know total number of students were selected in your kids' school for GEP? I know only 2 students were selected in St Anthony's Primary School. Care to share?

Get to know 3 from Poi Ching School

4 from Bt Panjang Pri School[/quote]12 from my DS's class in SHPS went on for selection and none clear the round two.

Congrats to all kids who clear the selection and good luck

Read from a website and thought it might be interesting for some of us:


Subjects Taken
In the Gifted Education Programme, pupils have to take subjects additional to those that the mainstream pupils have to take. All pupils would be required to take English Language, Mother Tongue Language, Mathematics and Science, which the Gifted Education pupils take too.
Social Studies
However, primary school pupils who are in the Gifted Education Programme are required to take an additional subject – Social Studies. Social Studies is a compulsory subject in the Gifted Education curriculum and a pass is required for promotion to secondary Gifted Education. The syllabus of Social Studies includes basic Geography, History and National Education. Climate and weather instruments, map reading, founding of modern Singapore, merger and separation with Malaya, World War 2, industries and energy consumption are all topics that would be covered in Social Studies.
Social Studies is an examinable subject at the Primary School Leaving Examinations. A grade of Distinction, Merit, Pass or Ungraded would be awarded to the pupils and reflected on the pupil’s certificate.
Individualised Study Option (ISO)
Project work is also another compulsory subject in the primary Gifted Education Programme. Used to be known as Individualised Research Study (IRS), it was renamed to Individualised Study Options to better reflect the diversified projects that could be undertaken by the pupils.
In Primary 4, pupils would undergo training in various aspects, including Research Skills, Library Skills, Interview and Survey Skills and Science Experimental Skills. This provides the fundamental framework for pupils to work on in their upper primary years.
In Primary 5 and 6, pupils would have to undertake a Research Project, which could range from the usual Individualised Research Study (IRS) to the Innovation Programme (IvP). The pupils would be assessed based on their final product and it would be reflected in their report cards.

little is heard of St Hilda GEP. how is it like ?

yes, can anyone share if they've the information?

First and foremost, I do not have any kid with the GE classes in SHPS but both my boys are attending/attended SHPS.

My elder DS who is now in Sec 1 graduated from SHPS and during Pri 5 and Pri6 was put into the inter-mingling class with the GE. According to him, teachers are supportive and overall atmosphere for learning and growing is good.

Of course everyone should take note here that SHPS will be moving into a temp school at Bedok for two years starting end of next year (e.g. for the current Pri 3 cohort, it will involve their Pri 5 and Pri 6).

As a school under the big umbrella of Anglican church, they also emphasis on spiritual well-being of the kids....

Looks like tomorrow will be an exciting day for many when the kid return school…
