Can Sec 2, Sec 3 parents please advise regarding using of laptop. How extensive is the usage and do they need to bring it to school every day.

My DS has joined sec 1 and is expected to bring notebook as part of BYOD from 21 jan.

This is the 1st year where SJI implements the BOYD for the entire sec 1 cohort, in the past had only been pilot runs on selected classes. So I think there may not be any benchmark to start off with.

Hi Sec 3 parents,


Can you share what are the main subject combinations in Sec 3 and what are the academic requirements to qualify for each of those subject combinations?

Reason I am asking is - My son is now allowed to take HMTL. We just received a note from teacher stating that the results from HMTL in Sec 2, cannot be used to explain for the poor performance (I suppose most Sec 2 boys didn't do well in the HMTL!) in Sec 2 results and to use it to justify an appeal to desired subject combinations, eg Triple Science combination

Is HMTL or normal CL a compulsory subject to be included in the results to qualify for specific subject combinations in Sec 3?

I know it is kind of early for me to think of this when he is only Sec 1 now, but I will like to prepare him for what's ahead .. I know.. very kiasu right :oops:

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

The selection of sub combination will depend on the student's aggregate for L1R5. One Language and 5 other relevant subject which can include mt.
