              yes he has submitted the subject combi online this week.

              There are
              triple sc (GPA 3.2 or above for Sec 2 overall results, A1 or 2 for Sec 2 Maths & Science)
              triple human (GPA 3.2 or above for Sec 2 overall results, at least B3 for the human subjects u choose)
              Bicult Studies (GPA 3.2 or above for Sec 2 overall results, A1 or A2 for Sec 2 Maths & Science, at least B3 for Eng & HCL)

              I think the result of whether u get in your choice will be in end nov or dec ba
              hope it helps 🙂

                Thank you for the very useful information!

                Oh, I didn't know they still have a choice of Bicultural Studies at Sec 3 entry. I'm surprised they don't require higher grades for languages though for the programme.

                Hope your DC gets his/her first choice of subject combi!

                  unfortunately no DC didn’t get in 1st choice…wasn’t informed that there was only 1 class of computing due to lack of resources as its v new subject at sec 3 in RVHS…and was told they will see by GPA results to get in the only 1 class…I think at times like this how can lack of resources be a reason… anyway maybe its good after all that will be less stressful as I heard there are lots of project work and theory…but I do hope they can make it known during the subject combin briefing…so as parents are aware as well as the kids they need to dash in w GPA good scores

                    Oh sorry to hear that... what was the GPA required to get into the computing class in the end?
                    Hope your DC will thrive in the allocated subject combination regardless!

                      Hello! Sorry to hear that… I’m surprised, cos Computing is Not popular in my dcs’ (IP) schools (~10 per cohort).

                        my DC gpa 3.7 so should be coming GPA 4 and above can get in…wasn’t aware it was only 1 class and now its so popular that they need 3 classes or more to accomodate, then in first place shouldn’t start if they are not equip with enough resources for more classes
