Way2GO:

Aiya, was hoping your kid can get into first choice school so that I get chance to eat your cookies. You can try appealing if you want.

:celebrate: still can try cookies. nice to meet you!

Hi cluelessmama,


Base on what we got from HPPS during school visit, IRS and Computer enrichment programme both are arranged on Fri afternoon, 1.30-4.30pm. CL/HCL will be on Mon/Tue, 1.30-3pm, I think CL-Mon, HCL-Tue... not clearly stated. So already 2 out of 5 weekdays. Depending on which CCA u enroll your kid, u might need to allocate 1 more day... :roll:

Responsed back to your PM.

cluelessmama:

Allocated 2nd choice - Henry Park.

May I ask those parents whose children r already in Henry Park - typically which day do they have to stay back for computer enrichment and higher chinese? (must start to logistic - sorry, I'm quite a \"last minute\" mum :!: )

Something is puzzling me - if they have to stay back for HCL, then what do they do during CL lessons? :?

[quote]so did your ds gave u this reaction :scared: haaaa...Hope GEPers do not have to go thru the stress of PSLE and straight away dsa to sec school. What u think? [/quote]
Vlim, DS2 seemed to have a quite confidence about him or he simply bochap - I couldn't really tell. He just waited for the news, not gan cheong at all.
Not all GEPers get thro' DSA to school of their choice. They have to do well in GEP and also PSLE, though I think many have gotten admitted to sec school thro' DSA on the strength of their GEP P5 & P6 results before PSLE results are known.

Nice meeting u too. I think MOE will try to accomodate as much as they can. Really think u can try to appeal with good reasons if your kid is still keen on NYPS.

Lovemummy:

my ds got in to Nan Hua Primary School..do you think it is easy to transfer my younger son over..

Congrats .
My DS1 is currently in P4GEP in NHPS this year.
You can try talking to the school about transfering your younger son.
But do note that there will a change in the principal next year.
Currently principal Mrs Lee is really nice and helpful so maybe you should approach her before the change of the principal.

Those got into school with different PE uniform color (based on house), did they inform the house accordingly? Else how to buy the PE uniform? wait till first day of school? Or call the office next week?

P.S. Sent a PM to you.[/quote]This is what my DS has planned. He won't be taking HCL, so he said that the CCA that he choose will be on the same day as CLA & end at 5pm that day. In this case, he'll not need to stay back for another day.
