Popick:
Does Nanyang has o level class for those who can't pass to next level?
Quoting from one of the FAQ for Sec 1 parents this year : \"School will continue to support an O level class if there is a need.\" -

- To say, currently there is one O level class for weaker students ? Wonder to help them go back to IP or O level preparation, anyone knows ?

It's for O level preparation.
At the end of Sec two, girls who don't meet the promo criteria will be streamed to the O level class and they will be prepped for O level exam at Sec three and four. -
keithleo:
Understand that Yr 1 students can choose betw e-book or hard copy print for Sci (Biology & Chemistry).
* Which is recommended or more widely used in NYGH?
* For those who choose e-books, the girls will bring their own iPads to sch? Is the e-book compatible with iPad2 WIFI?
Anyone can advise on print or ebook option?
Btw, heard that teachers hardly use the math & sci textbks. Is it true? If yes, is it ok not to buy? -

I just checked with dd and she says notes are given to students and these are what they use in school. In general, textbooks are more like your own reading materials.keithleo:

I got for dd the hard copy, so I don't know about the compatibility with ipad2.
Btw, the ipad 1:1 programme only starts from Sec 2 unless you opt for TCC classes in Sec 1. -

If she doesn't clear the FA papers, she will be retained.
Whether the child gets to choose the track when she retains, I am not sure.
If the child does not meet the promo criteria at Sec 3 and wishes to change to O level track, she would have to retain at Sec 3 becos it takes two years to prepare for O levels, and if I am not mistaken, O level Science Practicals are done at Sec 3. The child would have missed out on the Practical exams if she was on the IP track at Sec 3.
O level Chinese exam is also done at Sec 3, but I am not sure if the child would be able to do the Chinese exam even if she retains and repeats at the O level track since registration for the Chinese exam is done at Sec 2.
Do note the tentative tone in my message. Generally, this is what I understand/heard. Hope it helps. -

Unless you are in TCC ( which uses ipads), most people use the hardcover copy. If you want something to refer to, then there's no harm in buying. Otherwise I think it's okay not to buy! -

TCC : How many vacancies are there in yr 1? Does the sch select the girls or anyone can opt in?
