My son is in Sec 3 only, but I'm unclear as to what are H1 and H2 subjects. Could someone help clarify?
\"In 2006, a new A-Level curriculum was introduced in the Junior Colleges and Centralised Institute. Since breadth of learning and flexibility are key elements in the revised syllabus, it is important that the A-Level examination changes in tandem to support that breadth and flexibility. To this end, the Ministry of Education, the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board worked together to redesign the examination so that subjects can be taken at three levels: H1, H2 and H3.
H2 is equivalent to the previous Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level subjects in terms of academic demand and rigour. An H1 subject has about half the content of H2, but the content would be studied to the same depth as it is at H2. An H3 subject, which is an extension of an H2 subject, entails an in-depth study of a particular area that the student has the ability for and a passionate interest in. For instance, an H3 subject could involve the study of more advanced content of an existing area of the H2 curriculum, or it could be a research essay, or even a module offered by a university.
This tiered structure allows students to choose the levels at which they wish to study their various subjects, and thus provides the opportunity for them to achieve their personal peaks of excellence.
In order to achieve an optimum workload, students sitting the A-Level examination offer a mixture of compulsory and optional subjects. Other than the core H1 subjects, Mother Tongue Language, Project Work and General Paper, the typical student also offers three H2 and one H1 content-based subjects, one of which is a subject from a contrasting discipline. This will provide the student with a broad base of learning and is in line with the multi-disciplinary approach to study at university.
The more able students who have the passion for a particular subject and the time to manage workload beyond the normal subject combination can offer an additional H1 or H2 subject or further specialise by offering up to two H3 subjects. A small group of the most able students may offer a new H2 subject, Knowledge and Inquiry, in lieu of General Paper.\" -

Today when I tried to open the door to my son's room I realized it was locked. Then when I unlocked it I saw that he was wearing his school uniform. When I asked him he didn't reply. Anyone knows why?
Is this a quiz :? -

He was getting ready to go to school. Is he in HCI or SJI ? -

In the past, did you open his door while he was changing? So now he locked his door because he wants privacy. -
RaikouAura,
Have you had your answer to your question? -
It was 7 pm… why would he go to school? Seems quite strange but I think he feels embarrassed so I rather not talk to him about it.

Maybe he was trying to take a self-portrait via handphone, digital camera or webcam, to be used in school or post it on FB?
