Subject-based Banding (secondary)

Why OFFER Higher Level Subjects?

Each student is different and possesses different strengths

To help each student find fulfilment in learning and be motivated to excel in what he/she is good at, allowing greater flexibility in subject offering at Lower Secondary will better cater to the strength of each student in different subjects

Upper Secondary students already have the flexibility to take higher level subjects. Taking higher level subjects at Lower Secondary can help students build a stronger foundation for Upper Secondary, should they want to continue with the higher level subjects.

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.

Post-secondary Educational Progression

(for NA students)

Progression opportunities for Sec 4 N(A)• Sec 4 N(A) students have the following progression opportunities:

• To apply for any of the programmes above, students must satisfy the minimum entry requirements.

• A strong literacy and numeracy foundation would ensure students are better prepared for these progression pathways.

• Therefore, students are encouraged to deepen their knowledge in English, Mathematics and Science.

Polytechnic Foundation

Programme (PFP)

Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic

Programme (DPP)

Nitec Programmes Secondary 5 N(A)

Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP)

The PFP is a one-year foundation programme for polytechnic-bound students offering a practice-oriented curriculum taught by polytechnic lecturers.

PFP students are given provisional places in diploma programmes, subject to them passing all modules in the one-year PFP.

Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme (DPP)

Students accepted into the DPP will enrol into Higher Nitec courses at ITE.

These students are subsequently offered a place in a polytechnic diploma course mapped to their Higher Nitec, subject to them meeting the Grade Point Average (GPA) requirements.

For both programmes, posting is based on merit and subject to vacancies in open competition.

Applicants may combine their GCE ‘O’ and ‘N’ Level results to compute their aggregate score, for merit-based admission into PFP and DPP.
