Hi sunflower mum, my DS do not have text bk for sec 1&2 sci. Their notes were either fr the teacher or fr the website d teacher posted. This yr I refused to buy any text books for his sec 3 as every yr i gave away totally brand new text bk for math n Chinese :frustrated: ,DS n i have learn d trick only to buy d text bk when d teachers ask for it ,like lit, history . All his senior are doing it this way, cause teachers do not used text but give a lot of worksheets .

FYI. I bought the chem,physic n bio text for o level during the sec 1 bk list , DS has not even use them .

mum42, i share e same thought as u n has not bought any sec 3 textbks for my DS too. We oso bought e 3 O lvl sci text in sec 1 n so far only touched a bit of physics n chem. Hopefully, they will use them in e next 2 yrs. DS seniors told him the teachers hardly use e text except for e maths text. For e english, not sure if its e strand 1 or 2. Guess we will oso wait for sch reopen, c wat is really necessary.

May I know what are strands?

Hi pinky88 (proteX)DS said strand 1 when in sec 2 is for I spark in sec 3 is for CSE n I spark but do not know about SP SMDP, HP, BCS. Correct me if I am wrong . And the bk list given I think only cover the normal IP bks did not list anything about SP bks. Do not know I spark or CSE has different bk list. Ya same here will wait till sch reopen before buying any tx just in case n the txs next yr are quite expensive for A math n lit .

Yes hope the teacher will use the 3 dusty white elephant tx next :xedfingers:

Thks for e update, mum42. I guess SP will b using more notes than bks. Anyway, my boy bought e A maths textbk 2day cos his seniors taking SMTP told him it'll b used. Oso bought e IH core social studies texts.

Hi Chandelier,
You may want to monitor him closely in term of his time management. According to my DS in year 2, 3 of his classmates via DSA sport were transfer to 'O' level class in year 3. God Bless!

Is it true that this year more HCI boys are sent into O level track class at end year 2? How many boys this year? Thanks.

Congrat! must be some kind of achievement I guess... just wonder if this is students options (smtp/cse...) or school allocation base on results? TIA

Dear all, just a quick question … Will secondary school children get another student id card/ezlink card? Do we need to submit any photos on 22nd and/or during school reopen? Appreciate lots!!

Oops, I meant all incoming new Sec 1 pupils…
