When does it start and frequency?
Is it more like a class or CCA?

Thank you.

For the Grade Point Average (GPA) in Year 1, will they roll over to Year 2 , 3 & 4 ? Or will each Year’s result stand on its own , so each year GPA only the results for that year ?

I think only the current Y4 have their GPA calculated based on Y3 and Y4 results. In a bid to reduce student stress level, the Sch has done away with this practice so that for everyone else, every year will be a new slate.

Is it a norm to take 3rd language?

I think it’s quite common. But from my small sample size, the dropout rate looks quite high For boys. Somehow it seems that the IP gals have lower attrition rate.

I’m not just referring to RI, but overall across the IP.

Do you mean starting next year Y4 GPA will be calculated based on Y4 only? That means only half year? ‘Cos the second half will be gapsem.

Regarding Year 3 Subjects and combination, is the allocation based on merit and your results at the end of year 2 ?

Yah, that’s what I understood in the P’s briefing earlier this year.

If you’re asking whether one is eligible to take 8, 9 or 10 subject combi in Y3, yes it depends on one’s Y2 GPA (< 3.2 means 8 subjects, < 3.6 means 9 subjects, >= 3.6 means 10 subjects). Do note that not everyone who scores >= 3.6 will take 10 subjects though, as it also depends on personal interests.

If you’re asking about specific Sci-humans combi, what I heard was that bcoz the Sch has a large cohort, it’s rare for anyone not to be assigned to his preferred choice.
