2009 GEP Screening And Selection

Zann:

Is it true that NHPS GEP students only do HCL in P5 & 6 ? Is Chinese considered part of GEP performance?

I understand some NHPS P5 GEP students opted to do CL instead of HCL. Not too sure what you meant by considering Chinese part of GEP performance but CL/HCL scores are included in the computation of overall score for the year which is recorded in the Report Book.

Looks like quite a few parents are still looking for Charlotte's Web and A Wrinkle in Time.


Have you tried Book Kinokuniya in Ngee Ann City? I was there a few times past 2-3 weeks and saw multiple copies of both books on the \"Gifted Readers\" shelves.

Also, Kinokuniya has Book Web service (http://bookweb.kinokuniya.co.jp/indexohb.cgi?AREA=04) that allows you to search and reserve books. I found this service excellent as they would locate the books and keep them aside at the Customer Service for a week. I have been using this service and so far it is free of charge.

Hi for those who cannot find \"A Wrinkle in Time\", you can try to order it from this website http://www.bookdepository.co.uk. It's a very cool site, has free worldwide delivery and the prices are very competitive. :lol:


However, it does not stock \"Charlotte's web\" published by Pearson, cause i also looking for it. :roll:

I've got the 10% coupon for this website. However, you must go via this link each time you wish to use the coupon code (or the redemption box won’t show in the basket).

Then just enter the code HAPPY99X in the basket when you begin to checkout.

Can get from second-hand bookstores or not, I wonder.


When school year had just ended in October, I was looking for the To Kill a MockingBird book for my daughter bc she wanted to start reading it since she was quite free after year-end exams. I couldn’t find it at any bookshop, but I found at 2nd-hand bookstore. It ended up being exactly the same as the actual one used by the school when I finally ordered from Pacific Bookstores when the online ordering became available a month later.

Bras basah have quite a few....for literature books, there's one on the 2nd floor (i think - if not 2nd flr, then 3rd floor), but along the long corridor above the posb atm.

I am referring to GEP promotional criteria whether they include HCL. Are there many who choose to do CL? Who do they attend the CL lesson with? mainstream or just the few of those who opt for CL? For those who take HCL in P5 and P6, am I right that they do not sit for CL CA/SA papers ? Unlike the mainstream pupils sit for both CL and HCL papers just as during PSLE. Understand their twining class pupils, who are essentiallly mainstream also, follow the GEP students to do sit for just HCL exam only if they opt for HCL. Is that right?
