19. Eligibility Criteria for incoming Sec 1 students
For Ps' communicatrion with Staff (13 Nov)
13/11/2013
Eligibility Criteria for incoming Sec 1 students
Sec 1 students posted to the N(A) and N(T) courses may be offered EL/Math/Science/MTL at a higher level, based on their PSLE subject grades.
Students can choose to accept or reject the offer.
PSLE Eligibility criteria for offering higher level subjects:
Course
PSLE Standard Grade
PSLE Foundation Grade
Option to offer subject at
N(A)
A*, A -
Express
N(T)
Express/ N(A)
B, C 1

20. Why OFFER Higher Level Subjects?
Every student is unique and possesses different strengths.
Taking subjects at a higher academic level can help students nurture their strengths and give them more opportunities throughout their educational journey, so that they are more engaged in learning.
Previously, students in N(A) and N(T) courses can take higher-level subjects starting from Secondary 3. With SBB, your child can start doing so from the start of Secondary 1, to build a stronger foundation in subjects that they are good at.

21. What are the possible benefits of taking higher-level subjects?
Some students (and parents) have shared that SBB allows the students to challenge themselves, and to have more options for Sec 3 subject combinations and post-secondary courses.
A strong foundation in literacy, numeracy and reasoning, would ensure students are better prepared for various post- secondary progression pathways (e.g. to ITE and Polytechnic).

22. Support for Students
Students are encouraged to continue with the higher level subject(s) until the end of Secondary 2, regardless of grades achieved, since it takes time for students to adjust to the higher level of rigour.
The school will continue to provide the necessary scaffolding for SBB students to cope with the respective higher level subject(s).
The teachers will also conduct bridging classes for students taking higher level subjects after the Sec 1 mid-year or year-end exams.
However, each student should take no more than 3 higher level subjects so as to ensure that he/she can cope with the overall academic demands.
Students are encouraged to continue with the higher level subject(s) until the end of Secondary 2, regardless of grades achieved, since it takes time for students to adjust to the higher level of rigour.
Please note that in consultation with their subject teachers and a review of their examination results, students and their parents can make the final decision to continue or drop the subject, as long as they are aware of the possible impact on post-secondary options.
Schools are encouraged to share with parents on the planned support structures for the students if they are not doing well.

23. BUT …
You have to work much harder to do well in the higher-level subjects
You may find yourself falling behind if you don’t put in the effort
Not a guarantee for lateral transfer to a higher- level stream in Sec 2

24. What does the offer letter look like?
Eligible N(A) and N(T) students would receive letter of offer at the counter
Please complete the form to indicate the subjects your child wishes to take (or not to take) at a higher level. Submit the completed form to the General Office by 27 Dec 2017.
