hi parents can i confirm that you can do standard chinese in st nicks sec?
how are both the o level n ip program there?
any parents with girls in the ip program as well as taking mep? can girls manage or those 2(ip & mep) will be a heavy workload?
does school end late into evenings?

also what are the chances if you enter o level route, can you 'promote' to ip in sec 3?
basically just what does ip do academically that's different from o level?

please share parents as we are clueless!!

hello! I’m not a parent but I’m currently in sn sec3 ip but I hope this helps.
1) you can do standard Chinese in the o level program but you can only do higher Chinese in ip
2)I personally do not take mep but from what I know mep in lower Sec is pretty okay as it’s held during curriculum time but in upper Sec it’s after sch but one shld be able to manage it as it’s counted as a subj itself so your child will still take the same Amt of subjs as everyone else
3) cca typically ends at 6.30
4) if you’re in o level and at the end of sec2 have done very well academically you will be given the offer to transfer to ip that you can accept or reject
5) to generalise it o level has more exams and ip has more graded assignments to “replace” the exams so in ip we only have 2 exams a yr
you can come to our open hse tmr! More details are on the sch website
