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.

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?

Curious. Is this like the humanities program? Do you take 9 or 10 subjects including 3 humanities? What’s the likely career path of such combination? Thanks!

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?

History, maths and sci r all start in y3. According to my child...geo selection will be in y3 itself
We chose triple humanities too.....

Oh nice! Our kids may become classmates if both get the combination successfully! :celebrate:[/quote]what subject combi did your child choose?

Congrats! I think laptops makes the most sense. Tablets are still toys at this moment. Really not very suitable for doing actual work.
