Out of curiousity, do NYGH girls need to fulfil a certain criteria to take 4H2s at Year 5? HCI sets a criteria of MSG<2.5 for their boys to qualify to read 4H2s. If MSG>3, need to reexam.

Same. MSG3 or below to progress to Year5. For 4H2, MSG below 2.5. MSG calculated using L2R5.

Cool. okay the HCI MSG includes all subjects (can't take out lousiest lol) - the exception is 3rd language and PW - these are included if they help your MSG. At least for this year, I don't think HCI made the exams too demanding or what.

Is NYGH having a graduation event this year?

I am not too sure about this year but last year in the midst of covid, they still have graduation night but it was a very muted event held in sch and in each class only with mass video screening or smthg. The girls still get to dress up but I guess the vibes were very different to pre-covid times. Last year HCI boys still get to hold theirs in hotel but catered japanese bento instead I heard 😅. With increased SMM this year, not sure what are the plans.

I read from school website that "Students who are eligible for Academic Special Programmes are only allowed to take one Special Programme." and the ASP includes SMTP and even 3rd language. Does it mean students who are interested in SMTP will have to give up 3rd language ? any one here takes both SMTP and 3rd lang ? Not sure if I understand this correctly. TIA !

There are specifically 6 special programmes and none of them includes 3rd language. So, yes, should be able to take SMTP and 3rd language.

Special programmes and 3rd language are not mutually exclusive. The real consideration is the workload. It is not advisable to take 10 subjects. So if one is taking 3 Sciences (with 2 at Advanced level), plus 2 humanities, definitely not advisable to take 3rd language as the 10th subject.

And to add on to my previous post, sec 3 students also have to do SIA (Student Initiated Assignment). If you are taking Special Program, the SIA will be a rather academically rigorous and time-consuming one.

Hi

When will we know the subjects that the child enrolled to? I know my child selected some advance and heard there is selection exam

[LeeTaiTai]

Thanks SWC and Timmy, i am also concern about workload as DD is interested in 9-subj 3S and continue 3rd Lang . Now even want to try advance Science and SMTP … i feel plus SIA , just too much… how can students manage…so saw this line tot its a requirement from school she has to give up one. Can they drop any if they cant manage or results slip ?

I think there are MSG requirements to take 10 subjects. To take 9 subj, the requirement is MSG below 2.5, am I right?

According to sch, once selected to special program like advanced subjects or smtp, usually students can cope and no one has dropped before (administratively also difficult as it might entails changing form class?) To take 9 subjects req below 2 msg. To take 10 subjects req special approval.
