Anyone has any idea how many classes do they cater for each combination?

Which year is your DS in ? Thot subject combination submission deadline is over ?Thank you, naggo -nitemare and firefly.
To offer 3rd Lang in year 3, besides the GPA of at least 3.2, is there any other entry criteria like need to have A or A+ grade for Year 2 3rd Lang subject ?
3rd Lang is graded like all other subjects (GPA 4.0, 3.6, 3.2...). Don't think there is any minimum criteria for 3rd Lang in Year-3. However, if the child has not been doing well in 3rd Lang, it is advisable to drop it in Year-3, as it may add to the heavy workload expected in Year-3..
Just my opinion.. -
My son is in year 1. He wishes to better understand the criteria for his preferred subject combination and work hard for it next year.

Your DS is so sensible..
Remind him to relax & enjoy the holidays too.. Year-2 will be busier & more hectic.. -

there will be talks on subject combi, RA offerings and criteria for pupils and parents early next year.
basically, if your son is aiming for any RA, the first semester's performance is most crucial.
whether he is aiming for 10 or 9 subjects, the overall GPA is crucial. So work on the weak subjects tt are compulsory for GPA calculations. Consistency is key.
all the best and happy hols! -

I think there's a std procedure for appeals which should be on the stamford portal.[/quote]hi naggo-nitemare, thank you for responsesnowlotus:
[quote=\"naggo-nitemare\"]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?
-
Year-2 boys will be informed of their subject combinations on-line via GoTo (Stamford too?) tomorrow.. Good Luck to all !!

The school is conducting a parents’ briefing this evening on Malaysia Montage 2014 if we have further queries on the programme.
Just wondering what additional info would be gathered from the briefing since the info in the letter to parents is very comprehensive. Should I give it a miss since it’s my DS’ birthday today… -

Yes.. The letter is very comprehensive, i remember..
Maybe you can let your DS decide, since it is his birthday today ?
