Hi, I'm just kaypohing, as often... Would your dc be prioritised for special program selections (Hssrp for instance, is she invited to the upcoming month-end symposium? Moot parliament? Literature seminar?), if she takes up triple humans?

Our schools have similar programs, & afaik it is challenging in that the students have to produce numerous papers, of sufficiently high standards, which often require lots of reading up, writing & rewrites. Besides interest, I'd advise my kid to take it up, Only if there is a well-thought out curriculum; an expert mentor (external/ university?) will be guiding; there is accreditation. All the best!!

Hi sky! Interesting... I hadn't thought of whether there'd be priority for special programmes. I'm not very sure actually but will certainly try to find out if I get the chance. Thanks!

I guess they will be given priority if they r in the talent program[/quote]Realise that the talent programmes for each subject start in different years?

Oh btw, am I right to say that there won't be subjects like FCE, Music, Digital Literacy etc in upper secondary?

Hi!! I'm impressed that RV is, once again (this year too), so well-represented in the symposium 👏[/quote]Hi Sky, could you share a little more about the symposium? Is it only for selected schools or represented by all schools? Thanks!

In upper sec, students are required to take \"Singapore Studies\" as a compulsory Humanities subject. They can choose to take only \"Singapore Studies\" or take up to 2 other Humanities subjects, depending on the rest of their subject combination. A triple Humanities / triple Science combi would be 9 subjects.

For ours, LA, HMT/ MT, 2 MAs, Chemistry, (some form of) SS are compulsory in upper secondary. For one (of my kids'), (what I'd refer to as) 'triple humanities' means the class gets to choose a 2nd humanities (HI), & they study humanities more in depth/ enriched (I'm guessing, cos they don't have literally 3 humanities subjects but are active in external programs). For the other, 'triple humanities' means the class gets to pick a 2nd humanities (HI/ GE) and a 3rd (Advanced Humanities). Triple humanities is challenging

Ic ic... Is it a Humanities Programme that you're referring to then for the class that does external programmes?

Oh, in RV, they cover the content of E. Math and A. Math as one subject.

Ah I see. Interesting.

In other words, you can do Singapore studies with both history and literature. Total 3 humanities. And if you include the 2 languages, 1 math, CID and 2 science then it’s a total of 9 subjects. Correct?
