GEP 2012 - Class Starting P4 in 2013

Yes, a lot of files. I have more files than textbooks on the shelf now. Really got to teach DS filing system…he is the kind who is disorganised.


Any parent can advise whether we should be getting pockets for the files for organisation purpose? What is the best organisation method? What should we prepare or take note of for filing?

Thanks.

Hi, I'm not a parent, but a student in Secondary 1 (Sec 2 next year). I was in the GEP programme, and I must agree... Organisation is the key to proper filing.

What I suggest is this: get a ring file of considerable size and dividers (preferably those 12 ones so you can file better) and file according to every subject, with the first and second divider titled \"forms\" and \"homework\".

One bad thing about this is that you would need to bring a hole puncher along everyday. If your son is someone who does not mind filing at school, this is a great method to ensure good filing. Every night, take out the worksheets that need to be filed from the main ring file and file them into respective subject files. Leave those that the teacher needs to go through in the main ring file under the subject.

I find this method particularly useful - this is the only method that stayed with me throughout the years. I tried pockets for filing yet I always seem to do last-minute filing and spend loads of time punching the holes in the worksheets... It's not a very effective method for me.

Anyways, this is my personal preference. Hope you find my method useful

I ordered the 2011 version. My DS said this is correct, someone brought to school today to confirm with teacher. It is also much cheaper.
