Hi does any kind parent here know if our boys can go ahead to register for their choice third language even though they will be doing another elective (eg MEP/AEP/Galileo etc)? I know the school strongly advises against it but if our boys are really keen and do not want to forego the chance of being offered their choice third language, can they do so?

You may go to moelc to register for third language this Dec. Mep/aep needs test and interview, after you get the offer, the teacher in charge will ask for the withdrawal form from third language. Maybe at this moment you can discuss with teacher. School policy is Only One elective allowed, not just strongly advise against. Galileo is not elective.

So it’s a school policy to be strictly complied with. Thanks much for the clarification.

Those who got A* in psle science can register for the selection test, followed by the interview. The program will start in May.

Yes, cep starts in y2. At the end of y1, there will be selection test and interview. Those gpa>=3.6 and computer A+ can register for the test.
