My s1 ds got into his dream cca. So happy!

Is it easy to switch from o level to IP in SJI

The zec,


are you a student ? You can refer to page 4 of the Lower Secondary Student Guide. The exact criteria and the number of AU (academic units) required are stated. You can decide if those criterias are difficult or easy to achieve.

The IP track is newly introduced this year so I guess no historical experience to share.

Sec 2 parents,


Can you advise, if it is necessary for the Sec1s to supplement their hw with assessment books, particularly for geography and history? My son has stopped all tuition classes since after PSLE, and so far most hw he gets is mostly research work using the computer, with minimal worksheet-based hw, mostly for Maths

If need to, is there any specific assessment books you recommend? I am not sure different schools use different geography/history textbooks so the topics they teach are different across schools, which means only certain assessments are relevant to the pace of SJI's curriculum

Thanks.

JRLam, thanks for asking. My son also has no tuition. I have the same questions too. Hope Sec 2/3/4 parents can share some experience. For Geography, I read the HOD's letter-to-parents that this year is 1st year of new syllabus and 1st year not using textbook. Would appreciate any comments re: Mother Tongue/History/Maths/English ....

I did not buy any assessment books for my son.

He study based on the notes given by the teachers for the various sub.

I think the only assessment that would be relevant would be MT only. They still sit for the same O levels exams.

Hi All Parents of Sec 1 who has sons who joined NCC Land,


Understood that there is a camp this Fri to Sat. Wonder if you were told to buy some of the stuffs (mess tin, tommy stove, etc) on our own or to buy from school NCC or they will provide? Any idea if they were told that they need to wear their No 4 uniform?

If so, need to quickly search for a store selling all of these.

Thanks

Hi Newage,
I don't know whether or not you need to buy those stuff for NCC (Land) camp. For scout's camp, the letter from Scout CCA comes with a form for you to specify whether you want to buy these items or not.
In case NCC land does not have this form and you need to buy it yourself, I think you can get it from the Scout Headquarter at Bishan.

Hi Dazzle
Sorry for the late response and thanks for the advice. Unfortunately the list from NCC is not as detail as that of scout's. Anyway, went down to Beach Road where all the camping stuffs could be found.
Cheers!
