Hi 25hr mama,

I don’t think there are Bio and Hist textbooks for Year 1. I didn’t get them last year. The textbook most referenced would be 1.MT 2.Math/Chem/Phys

Hi to all the seniors and ksp-ers!

May I know if the houses are class-based or by random selection?

[Lynn2]

Its class- based.

Hi all, need advice on taking HCL for IP students. Assuming all things equal, doesn't it make better sense NOT to take HCL and just take CL as it is easier and one would get a better GPA? My DD's mental model is one of \"path of least resistance. Tougher 4 yrs in HCL :snooze: or easier 5 yrs in CL. Quite a dilemma.

Thanks Jakaranda, for the info.

My girl accepted into special art programme (Sap). Does it mean she will be in a class for Sap/Mep as they will not be doing home economics, design & technology?

Yes. SAP/MEP students will be clustered together into a couple of classes.

When the rest are spending the JC years preparing for A-levels, you are still sweating to pass CL. Defeats the purpose of the thru train concept leh. Taking the easy way out not really the spirit of the daughter of a better age leh...
