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.

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.

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? :?

Thanks for your reply.

P.S. Sent a PM to you.

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.

I have faxed in a letter about the transfer last week, hopefully they will look into it this week..Do you think they will entertain me, if I want to meet the principal and discuss about this issue?

Hi ngbrdad,

Could you kindly share the following information for GEP at NHPS?

(1) Which are the designated days for afternoon classess (what timing?)for P4 and for what subjects?

(2) How many projects are required to do at P4 and whether children do them in school or bring home or at team members' home? what is the deadline like for P4?

(3) Are most GEP kids at this school active in their CCA? Are majority school team players?

(4) Is the HCL more difficult than that of mainstream P4? Any different?

Thanks!
