SUBJECT-BASED BANDING (SBB)

• 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.

• Beyond the start of Sec 1, students who do

well in school-based examinations may be

considered to take higher-level subjects if

found suitable to do so by our school.

SUBJECT-BASED BANDING (SBB)

• Eligible N(A) and N(T) students will receive an

application form after the Sec 1 mid-year or

year-end examinations, based on the following

criteria:– 75% or higher in the subject;

– 60% or higher in the overall average; and

– Positive learning attitude to cope with the higher

academic demand

• Our school will provide support through

bridging programmes for these new SBB

students.

SUBJECT-BASED BANDING (SBB)

• Students are encouraged to continue with the

higher-level subjects until the end of Sec 2, as

students do need time to adjust to the higher

academic demands.

Most activities have been planned and letters

would have been issued. However there are

circumstances that may need students’

involvement.

Parents will receive notification letters from

teachers in-charge.
