[ricvon]

if you are thinking of transferring to SST next year, I think you just missed the dateline for application. Application closed on 2 Oct.


Interesting to know that you actually wanted a transfer from IP to O level.
Why the switch?

dear ricvon,

i have applied already and im waiting for the results. honestly, i don’t really like my school due to the fact that it’s quite toxic and competitive, as well as the fact that the jc im going to does not really suit my interest. im fine with remaining in my current school but would like to explore other routes (sst). thank you!

[ricvon]

I see. All the best because the placement test will be coming up real soon.

thank you! checking my mail every day.

Anyone know if the flying club of SST has any criteria to join. My boy really want to join the CCA for pursuing his aviation dream.

there are a few prerequisites to be eligible to join, subject to changes:[list]

Take note

( in case you are not aware)

For 2020 Sec 1 SST students this year (born 2007),
next year (2021) become your Sec 2 Year-end streaming, an important year.

If you happen to be targeting this hot, popular 2022 Sec 3 subject combination comprising

- Pure Chemistry (compulsory),
- Pure Physics
- Bio-technology (Applied Science)

- plus other 5 remaining subjects, assuming that you are taking Total 8 subject combination in Sec 3,

perhaps,
approach your departmental Science HOD,
confirm with her (him) whether there is any limit to the number of students intake allocated for Sec 3 Applied Science (Bio-technology) subject ?

because

In the event there is a constraint to resources, in terms of the

a) the number of laboratory session allocated available per week, used to conduct Bio-technology lab work, or

b) the number of assigned Teaching staff available per week, dedicated to teaching this \"Bio-technology\" subject with domain expertise,

It is possible that not every student who applied for Bio-technology, will be able to get this subject combination

Next time,
when enter into a Bio-technology laboratory, stay alert, look around you. Count the Total number of seats (students head-count), inside this lab.

say, for Example

Suppose one Bio-tech laboratory inside can accommodate maximum 26 students.
So, if u happen to be the 27th student very keen in taking up Bio-tech this subject, issue become

Where are they going to let you sit inside this Bio-tech Practical lab ? Definitely, you will need a bench stool seat as well as one set of Bio-tech hands-on apparatus to work with, right ? Can't possibly ask you to sit at the sink there inside the lab, to conduct your experiment, isn't it ?

Ideally, there is no constraint to resources, whatsoever.
That means,
every end-of-Sec 2 student who applied for Bio-tech subject, should be able to get it !

Suppose unfortunately,
there is a indeed a constraint on tight resources, then how ?


In the event there is an overwhelimg response to the number of Applicants for Bio-technology,
does it mean that based on your overall 2021 Sec 2 year-end Science academic results, they choose the best Top x number of students , stream them into this subject combination ?
That means end up, not every Sec 2 applicant can study Bio-tech, even if keen.
Best to clarify with your Science HOD, regarding how streaming and resources work.

===========================

Why is this \"Bio-technology\" Applied Science subject, so hot and popular, in demand ?
because

students targeting below category, will be applying for this Applied Science

1) SST students who are aiming for Junior College route, targeting H2 Biology (A-level),

And

who are also taking O-level Pure Physics concurrently, after sitting for their O-level.


2) SST students aiming for following Diploma courses in the Polytechnic, will also be keen in subject Bio-technology :

- Diploma in Bio-technology

- Diploma in Bio-Medical Science

- Diploma in Veterinary Science

- etc
