:grphug: my side too, my DS is really upset . Again today is last day and tomorrow the Annual prize giving day. My son has gone distributing his name card to all (including P4,P5 ). I didnt do any sharing gifts because I felt it might make him more emotional..


I think the most emotional day will be the 1st day of school term next year when they see new faces and get to think of the rest.

Me too, because I will miss the parents association gp. but still i promised we will help out as ex student's parents .. :lol:

haaa..leeven then next yr u will be very busy with psg of both new and old schools ..i a bit 'anti-social' so not in the psg..

woohoo! that makes two of us !! :celebrate:

we did not return dd's report book cos her form teacher does not know whether we can get it back at all :shock:

dd came back home with lots of farewell presents ... she say she started to feel sad when everyone became teary and told her to get back the GEP form from MOE. one even 'chided' her for passing GEP, if not she will not hv to leave etc ...

Do we have to submit the current report book to GEP school?My DD has returned it to her current school.

Yes you do. Pick it up from SCGS during the holidays.

hai...after reading all the info I feel kind of sad for those 'real' gifted kids who are not able to squeeze in to the top 1% because of loosing out to those kids that are 'well prepared' for the selection tests..... So after all does this GEP still serve the purpose of catering and nurturing the real gifted kids ????

sad for those real gifted kids that can't get into gep and also sad for those kids that are trained for the selection tests but eventually find themselve struggling in gep....

Don't be confused, not all GEP kids belong to the top 1%. Just look at the yearly PSLE results, the top 1% of the primary sixes is not made up by this so called top 1% GEP kids.

You are right, the more fortunate ones managed to squeeze in whereas some 'real' ones are left behind.

What is this GEP all about when there's so much preparation given....just for fame???

Hi Plane,

I agree totally!

To those who are really good, well done!
To those who are more fortunate, good luck!
To those real good ones who are left behind, show them what you've got!

Thanks for the responses and sharing! At least, we now know that the GEP selection process is still sound enough to fish out candidates without any high end academic enrichments.

Once again, congratulations to you and your child!

Most welcome. Actually, I was a little sad and disturbed by all the \"dark talk\" about GEP. However when I thought more about the topic, and when I look at how I raise my kid and those around me, I begin to believe that the \"dark side\" of GEP could be only a very small percentage out of the whole big pie. Well, at least I feel better with this more positive thoughts.
