Wow just check that Gan Eng Seng under Phase 2C (Supplementary) would have ballot situation since there was 78 registered against available places of 58.
Blangah Rise Primary still have a lot of vacancies. -

there isnt many choice left thus everyone opted GES. Luckily I didnt consider as their P1 is in the afternoon session. I managed to get a place in Lianhua Primary @ Bukit Batok.Wow just check that Gan Eng Seng under Phase 2C (Supplementary) would have ballot situation since there was 78 registered against available places of 58.

:?: Bukit Batok? That's kind of far from Bukit Merah, isn't it? It's a curious decision that you have made. I suppose you have given it due thought, so I'm glad the exercise is finally over for you. -

Hi Chief,
To me, it doesnt make much different because we live in JB. I work @ Alexandra Rd. I wanted to get her into Kellock but no chance at all. Ended up RGPS, and balloted out. I came in to Sg every morning via Woodlands and dropping my kid @ Bukit Batok is just along the way. Then I will drive to work via AYE. Not far for me.. coz I travelled from JB.. so tell me what is far! haha... Reason for choosing Bukit Batok and not Geylang or Bedok (have better schools there) was because she need to go to Student Care after school and no bus will travel from Geylang/Bedok to Bukit Merah. While station her in Bukit Batok, she can take school bus to Jurong East and I pick her from there before moving ahead to Tuas and go home from there... Long story huh... hahaha...
Its not quite over yet for me.. i m trying to mould her to take up GEP in order for her to get transfer out! She have another 2 lil' sister joining her ... so she need to work hard for her sisters entry.. hahaha -

I really hope you are not serious about this because this is a tall order even for us adults. You can't mould giftedness into children. No child should be subject to such expectations from their parents. -

You are right, gifted programme cant be mould but I will prepare her to do above benchmark in her school. I really hope that she can make it to the top, and haha not because of her sisters... its for her own. For her sisters, I am planning to do PV and get them to a better school. Already start planning.. but still long long way to go.
my kid, is not a prodigy but she can do it if we guide her. She just need direction. -

i had the same thinking as you..ie to transfer the kid out at P3/4 if the result is exception for the benefit of the younger one. but i will take these 2 yrs to see how is the school and teachers. if they tries hard in nurturing my boy and he like the environment, i will let my boy complete til psle.
i don't have any gep grad from my family line, so not expecting my boy to be a prodigy. am just happy if he works hard and smart.
