9. Subject-Based Banding (SBB)

10. Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
Previous System (before 2008)
Students who did not perform well in Primary 4 Examinations
- Streamed into EM3 classes in Primary 5 and 6
- Took all subjects at the foundation level
- Might take Mother Tongue (MT) at
the standard level if they were
strong in MT

11. Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
Why introduce Subject-Based Banding?
To recognise the different abilities of students
- Provide more flexibility in subject combinations for students with strengths and abilities that vary across subjects
Removal of Merged and EM3
streams in Primary 5 and 6

12. Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
What Subject-Based Banding means to your child
Greater flexibility in subject combinations
Your child has the choice to take a combination of standard and foundation subjects, depending on his strengths

13. Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
Rationale and Intent
Providing our weaker pupils a differentiated curriculum that would best maximise their potential.
These pupils may have particular strengths, and we should develop them as much as possible by offering them specific
subjects at a higher (standard)
level of study.

14. Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
Standard vs. Foundation Subject
Foundation subjects put focus on mastery of core content and skills.
These are pitched at a lower level as compared to the corresponding standard subject.

15. Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
What are the choices available?
If your child (for P4 exam)
Your child may be recommended to take
Passes all 4 subjects and performs very well in MTL
4 standard subjects + Higher Mother Tongue Language
Passes 3 or 4 subjects
4 standard subjects
Passes 2 subjects or less
3 standard subjects + 1 other foundation subject; or
2 standard subjects + 2 other foundation subjects; or
1 standard subject + 3 other foundation subjects; or
4 foundation subjects

16. Subject-Based Banding (SBB)
At P4 to P5
School recommends a subject combination based on students’ school-based exam results. Parents fill up an option form to indicate preferred combination.
At P5 to P6
Students take subject combination
chosen by the school.

17. School life

marathon
