      [quote=phtthp post_id=1933120 time=1567393449 user_id=35251]My above statement is entirely correct, because

      Once exempted from Chinese (Mother tongue),

      student (whether by PSLE Tscore or thru Affliation status) cannot study in SNGS Secondary. Reason being, ours is a SAP school.

      The SAP school apply to ALL students inside the school, regardless of whether they enter by Affliation, or by Tscore


      In a SAP school, during Sec (1 to 4), throughout these 4 years of Sec education, the barest minimum -
      Compulsory for student to take Standard Chinese, even if pupil do not take Higher Chinese

      Other than SNGS JIP students must take HCL, there isn’t a rule that students inside SAP school must take CL or HCL if they are exempted from it.

      [B] [u ] Hence, it’s possible to qualify for SNGS OP even if you have been exempted from CL.
      [/u]
      [/b]

      For OP students exempted from Chinese, they can consider some other Secondary schools instead, unless ...

      exempted students are prepared to take back Standard Chinese (O-level), give up their exemption status in Sec school

      Once enter into St Nick Secondary, it is compulsory, to take up Chinese in our SAP school. This is our school rule[/quote]It’s not compulsory for an exempt student to take back up the language in secondary school, SNGS or otherwise. SNGS doesn’t have the authority to enforce or insist*

      The only exception being for JIP where HCL is offered as a standard. SNGS FAQ made that clear (and no mention of compulsory Chinese because that would not be enforceable).

              Hi

              May I know if SNGS allocates teachers evenly, or do they allocate most of the hods and better teachers to the top classes? From the school website, it appears to be the former. Any idea?

                When my daughter was there, the HODs were assigned to top and mixed classes.

                  It appears that most HODs are evenly distributed to most (if not all) P5 classes this year. I am not too sure of the rest of the levels. However, I must say that some non-HOD teachers are equally good.

                    last year 2019 P6


                    Chinese HOD :
                    assigned to a Top class, as Form Tr ( P6 Purity )


                    English HOD :
                    assigned to another Top class ( P6 Justice )


                    Science HOD:
                    assigned to a Mixed ability class, as Co-Form Tr ( P6 Hope )


                    Maths HOD, assigned to which P6 class
                    ?

                    ==================

                    This year 2020 P5 (born 2009, due to be 1st pioneering batch of AL PSLE system), which are the Top 2 classes ?
                    How many P5 classes, not taking HCL this year ?

                    Last year (2019),
                    only one P6 class not taking HCL.
                    5 classes sat for Psle HCL papers 1 and 2 , out of Total six P6 classes.


                    There is a briefing, next Friday (10 January 2020) evening, to 2020 P5 and P6 students parents. Probably, Principal will be announcing the new Affliation Cut off point, under AL system, since students have already reached P5 Upper primary, this year

                      Hi MerlionInGermany and Kimkar

                      Thank you for your reply. Both of you are right as I noticed the random allocation too. And yes, many non-hods are hood and nice too!

                        This year, 5F, H, J and P got the hods. I hope P will shed some light on the affiliation points under the AL system.
