Thanks for the information.. For 8 subject combination, i see on the slide that it is mandatory to have One more humanities or special program subject other than I&A, so at most 2 sciences possible.

I see the same as you.

Oppss... I guess I got it mixed up with NYGH, where they allow 3Sc + IH (as the only humanities subjects) for their 8-subject combi....

At upper Sec, is LA still one subject or split into English and literature? A bit surprising coz I thought nygh has strong focus on languages and humanities.

I do not think (but I am not certain since I am not privy to every school’s subject combi), other schools have such school-specific subjects, therefore the H will be the usual ones we are familiar with.

OT: Hi... Yes, in my dc2's school too, there are school-specific humanities subjects (which are compulsory in Y3-4), so triple science students do Not have to offer History or Geography (Literature is incorporated into English & called Language Arts). Nonetheless, afaik, they are still allowed to offer History or Geography in Y5-6...

Is that so? So in his school, an 8-subject combi comes in the form of, 3Sc + 1H and the H is that school specific H subject (which is not G and His)? But then E Lit is compulsory and incorporated into EL. So effectively, this student is doing 9 subjects (3Sc and 2H) but have 8 grades on his report book.

By the way, any recommendation for sec sch higher chinese tuition.
