naggo, I don't think it's a matter of time-tabling anymore. It's clearly stated in the briefing that RA bio and math & RA chem and math are not allowed. Maybe you or your son can raise your concerns during the briefing next year.

Ok. Tks for advice. Actually, I'm fine with this policy. It's just tt when my DS is fed up, I too get a bit affected. It's a v minor setback compared to what many others hv to go through in life.

Any idea when the boys will be informed of their Year-3 subject combinations ? I hope DS1 will get his 1st choice..

firefly, I hope your son gets his first choice too. I'm sure he will.

From what i gather from my DS' n his classmates' experiences, not getting 1st choice is almost unheard of. The school does try its best to meet all choice requests.

btw, in case not able to get the 1st choice, can still 'apeal' or not?
