Why there is so much delay in starting JC1 ? what do students having taken O-level exam do between OCT- FEB??

Not long, I'd think. In our time, we had to wait until March for O-level results!

My dd started on a job just after her last O-level exam paper in late Nov. She continued working until the day she received the SMS posting, and went to her JC the next day. It was a good experience for her.

twilight:

Inter. I didn't do inter f exam though, as it was during crucial period.

twilight:

Dance. Not exactly a sport.

I did go for figure skating too, but can't have too many sessions as well as it's costly.

twilight:

Many of my friends do get a job. I've been going for holidays and catching up with training I missed due to preparation for O levels.

Successful implementation of the Victoria-Cedar Alliance Integrated Programme (VCA IP)
The implementation of the VCA IP, offered in partnership with Cedar Girls’ Secondary School and Victoria Junior College, is on track. Victoria School successfully admitted its first intake of Secondary 1 VCA IP students in January 2012. With the first intake of IP students, VS will offer both O-Level and IP tracks to our high-ability learners. The dual-track education structure allows for more porosity to cater to students with different abilities. Good students who are eligible for the IP or those who find themselves better suited for the O-Level track can make lateral transfers, thereby allowing our talented students to be nurtured via more customized learning.

VS remains committed to providing an excellent and holistic education in both O-Level and IP tracks to cater to students with different abilities and interests, thereby nurturing our Victorians to be Gentlemen, Professionals and Sportsmen who make tangible contributions to their family, work, community and nation. The students in VS will continue to experience the ethos and privilege of an all-boys education, and enjoy the full range of co-curricular activities such as sports, performing arts, uniformed groups, and Character & Leadership Education. All students will also have access to the different school programmes and facilities offered by the three VCA schools.
