Hello, I would like to say that I think that the classes are allocated by subject combination and enrichment. For the 2013 Year 3 batch,


3A: O levels
3B: Bio, Chem + elit/Geog/Hist
3C: Phy, Chem + Geog/Hist
3D: Bio, Chem + elit, Hist (history enriched)
3E: Phy, Chem + elit/clit, Geog/Hist (history enriched)
3F: Triple science + elit/clit/Geog (E. Lit enriched)
3G: Triple science + Hist
3H: triple science + Hist (LA, maths enriched)
3I: Triple science + Geog
3J: Triple science + Geog (science, Geog enriched)
3K: Triple science + Geog (Maths, Geog enriched)
3L: triple science + elit (LA enriched)
3M: triple science + Geog/Hist (maths, science enriched)

*For LA, Geog and Hist enriched: not all the students in the class are enriched. For eg, 3D and 3E have history lessons together, split into the enriched and normal class
Geog enriched: J/K together
Maths enrich: students from 3H join 3M (whole of 3M is maths enriched)

Hope this helps!

Hi, thank you so the detailed information. What would you mean by maths enriched, grog enriched etc. ? How is the student being selected?

At the end of Yr 2, u are allowed to choose a subject u want to enrich in...( think 2 choices, not sure of any changes)...
Allocation will be based on GPA n the Grade for that particular enriched subject chosen...

Enriched classes basically do / learn more for that particular subj...n they do get a \"better\" teacher for that subj....

I am also interested to find out about the extent of enrichment. I thought it was just a class allocation by ranking. The choice of what subject to enrich was given as an option in the streaming, but from my dk’s experience it doesn’t matter. We chose LA enrichment but was allocated the Maths and science enrichment class. Dk was also in the special enrichment class in year 1 and 2 but the curriculum is the same as the rest. I have my doubts on the enrichment because it may not be practical and fair to have a differentiated approach.

Did yr DC appeal for the transfer to LA enriched class ?

According to my gal ... Yup, not much a difference in curriculum...but they had to do slightly MORE for projects / assignments as compared to other classes...
As the expectation from teacher (s) was higher...

We didn't appeal because firstly the curriculum is the same and secondly, Dc is quite happy with the class although at first we were trying to avoid being allocated to that class which is why we chose LA enrichment.

So far I have never heard of geography or history or literature tuition.

Is it necessary? Can't yr child seek consultation from the teacher?
