Hi,


Anybody can update me regarding the RA chemistry at JC1 ? Why the subject combination is economy for compulsory subject for RA chemistry ? Please advise as the paper need submit by 7 Oct. Thanks in advance.

This is NN's DS.

As far as I know, it's not compulsory (it might have changed this year, but I highly doubt it). JC1 RA students have to take either physics, chem, math + 1 contrasting subject or bio, chem, math + 1 contrasting subject (I'm aware that the addition of further math might have added more options). Economics just happens to be the most popular contrasting subject but I'm pretty sure others such as geog or hist will be allowed. I know a person who takes chem RA with geog, but not econs. It's possible that RI could have changed its rules for RA this year, but I don't think so.

Hi, NN's DS,

Thanks for the reply. My girl is from RGS y4. She has the RA chemistry for the past two years. She intends to apply the RA chemistry at JC. She told me that Economics is compulsory subject for RA Chemistry at JC. I felt that it should be the case as Economics is not the preq subject for any university. The end date for application RA chemistry is 7 Oct 2015. As my girl may study English Literature for the contrast subject. I knew that a lot of students choose to learn Economics subject at JC, but they encounter many difficulties during their study. Hopefully my girl can study the other subject, not Economics.

After a while they grow to like and appreciate the subject economics. Very real life

If your daughter wants to take lit, I'm sure they'll make provisions. All the best for her application!

my son and his friends were very blessed to have been taught by Mr Lam Nam Soon in their yr1-2 Euler class. In fact the picture in the wan bao article is of Mr Lam and part of that cohort taken in 2014. I hv spoken to him once before. He left a deep impression on me for he came across as very humble and compassionate.


Everyone who has had the privilege of knowing him is deeply saddened by his demise.

May he rest in peace.

Question: what are the rules for school shoes for Yr 5/6? How much colour, what type of shoes, etc? My daughter needs new shoes soon, and I thought I’d just check as she will be wearing them into next year. Thanks!

Can someone tell me what the rules actually say? Is there a specified min. percentage of white? Thanks!
