Presbyterian High

[phtthp]

take note



For "Express" stream O-level track students -

@year-end Sec 2 streaming in PHS,

If students intend to choose Upper Sec 3 Triple Pure Sciences, Presbyterian High school won’t allow students to take it concurrently with subject Economics (2286)


or vice versa
(phrase it, in another way)


If students wish to take up Sec 3 Economics (2286) -

then,
they are allowed to take up at the very most Double Pure Sciences,

either

- (Economics + Pure Physics + Pure Chemistry + Additional Maths + E Maths),

or

- (Economics + Pure Biology + Pure Chemistry + Additional Maths + E Maths),

ie.
you decide & choose between
Sec 3 (Biology vs. Physics).
Is it Pure (Biology or Physics) that you prefer to specialize in, since Chem is compulsory ?


but not allowed
(Economics + Triple Pure Sciences, concurrently).

No,
PHS school forbid this very heavy content subject combination, comprising both
(Econs + Triple Pure Sciences)
PHS school want to ensure that students are able to manage & balance their study work-load demand, & perform well at GCE "O" level

Hi mrsngpk,

I am PHS alumnus who graduated many years ago. I visited PHS Open House 2019 and learnt from the student counselors (prefects) during the walk-around tour that they have compulsory chapel session once a week. There are non-Christians students in PHS too. As far as I know, there is no mandatory religious studies. You can submit queries to PHS at https://form.gov.sg/#!/5f926ceeee09d80011c96f7d to confirm whether what I mentioned are still correct.

How is the student discipline at PHS?

[phtthp]

Any PHS student from 2020 Sec 4 sat for O-level Economics this year


or
2019 Sec 4 student taken Economics last year

or
2018 Sec 4 student taken Economics two years ago

?

Was the Economics (O-level) paper easy or difficult ? How you all find the Econs National exam ?


For past 2 years (2019, 2018), what was the percentage of Quality passes (grade A, comprising both A1 and A2) in PHS, for O level subjects

- Economics ?

- History humanities, both Elective & Core (full) ?

- Geography humanities, both Elective & Core (full) ?

N-S highway major construction cutting into PHS’ compound. Maybe very noisy and dusty over the next few years.

Hi can I check with whoever know the information, does PHS still have forensic science? It seems no DSA domain this year, still available as CCA or any other format? Thanks!

Is that affecting the campus a lot? This is not positive information for this year S1 posting:)

PHS has to give up some land. PHS shd be dusty and noisy and many construction workers walking outside the school.
