PLD is ipad with pencil.
CCA days — check the school website.
Check the school Facebook for “orientation” to know the school better. -

for incoming Transfer students into St Nick, either at the end of (Sec 1 or Sec 2)
=========================
Lower Secondary -
Total, there are 10 classes.
That is,
( 5 IP + another 5 O-level ) classes
1) IP track
names of the five IP classes,
from Year (1 to 4), are
(Loyalty, Purity, Truth, Unity and Wisdom)
Year 1 IP students who are taking MEP (Music Elective program), will be assigned to join \"Loyalty\" class.
End-of-year 4 IP students :-
a) will take Higher Chinese (O-level) exam.
b) will take year end Term 4 promotional exam, to join Eunoia Junior College (in Year 5).
Note
There is NO \"bridging \" course for A-level H1 or H2 (Biology nor Physics), in Eunoia JC.
Thus, during end of Year 2 streaming exercise,
whether to take up Year 3 (Bio or Physics), besides interests (passion), besides considering future potential career path (university courses), also need to exercise discernment, in knowing (analyze) your own subject academic strength / weakness, based on your past two years' IP results.
Why, bring this up ?
Because
In the past batches,
there were some IP students who took Pure Physics in their \"Double Sciences\" Year 3 subject combination. They did not do well in Physics, at end of their Promotional IP Year 4 exam. They regreted having chosen Physics, wished that they had selected Bio instead, because now they lack confidence with A-level (Physics), intend to switch over to A-level Bio, inside EJC.
2) O-level track (OP)
names of the five O-level classes found in Lower Secondary, are
(Charity, Diligence, Faith, Grace and Justice).
Sec 1 students in the Music Elective (O-level track) , will be assigned to join \"Charity\" class.
When come to Sec 3,
we will open up one more new class, called Sec 3 \"Hope\". Change !
To become Total, six OP classes at Upper Secondary level.
Note
OP students who are taking HCL,
c) will need to sit for Standard Chinese (O-level) in November, at end of their Sec 3.
And also,
d) will sit for Higher Chinese (O-level) in November, at end of their Sec 4.
What happen to OP students, who scored
(B4 or C5 or C6),
in their Sec 3 November O-level (Standard Chinese) ?
No worry !
No discrimination.
OP HCL students can still proceed to take O-level (Higher Chinese), in Sec 4 (November).
==========================
3) parents' chat group
Yes, you may join each individual class's chat group.
4) Cca time table
try to google for Cca time table on website, for that particular Cca that you are interested in. -
For the O level track -
Yes,
some students managed to get transferred in successfully into St Nick, at the end of Sec 1, as long as vacancies arise.
No need to wait until Sec 2. -

We just conducted our most recent 2021 Sec 2 streaming exercise last month (November), to choose new Sec 3 subject combination.
Hi parents, can I check if the science syllabus is the same for IP kids?
With me right in front now are
2021 October EOY (end of year) detailed examination requirements.
For Science :-
let's compare (objective),
is there any difference in the year-end Topics tested, between IP vs. OP curriculum ?
Findings, discovered
=====================
1) The Total number of Science Topics tested,
as well as
2) all the named Science Topics listed out one by one in order, for EOY exam,
for both Sec 2 (IP and OP) curriculum,
are exactly identical (the same) !
Total number of Sec 2 (October) EOY Science Topics tested : 16, all the same, in both (IP and OP) exam, out of which
- 6 topics, fall under Physics
- 5 topics, are Chemistry
- another 5 topics, are Biology
This year,
there are also some Sec 2 OP students who have been offered a Transfer switch successfully in November, to cross over from the O-level into the IP track, starting their brand new 2022 Year 3 IP, since St Nick is a dual track school.
In view of this,
due to internal Transfer taking place, from OP into IP, for core important subjects like Science,
there cannot be too much curriculum deviation in Term 4 year-end exams tested, for Lower Secondary 2 Science, between IP vs. OP
==========================
As far as Sec 2 streaming exercise is concerned,
when end of Sec 1 students move up into Sec 2, a fresh new beginning year, all the past Sec 1 exam results have been reset, become history !
In other words,
even if you did not do well in Sec 1, never mind. It is ok !
Is not that we going to take some of your Sec 1 marks and apportion into Sec 2. No, we don't do this. Instead, we press the reset button, start everything afresh again, in Sec 2 !
Also,
If any end of Sec 1 OP student is keen, or have the intention (interests) to Transfer over to IP track, do inform Mdm Baey (VP Academic) in advance. No need to wait until Sec 2, then come and inform her.
A word of encouragement, to those at PSLE, unfortunately did not qualify for IP. As long as u do well in Lower Secondary (OP), and are still keen in IP, opportunities abound at the end of Sec 2, for internal IP transfer.
Example
What happen, this year (2021, Sec 2) ?
Some of us (OP),
not sure if we going to do well in Social Studies (O-level) paper. So, some have transferred successfully to join IP (Year 3) next year, chosen to secure a seat inside Eunoia Junior College (A-level), bypass O-level. The students are also looking forward, very excited to embark on our IP programme

Thank you so much for sharing the info. I just checked my Parent Gateway and stated 2-G.
If any parents from the class reading this can add me into the class group chat?
:thankyou: -
Hi everyone, a friend told me that in some schools, the students can use their third language grade to ‘replace’ a humanities subject to calculate their final grade and that’s why it may be useful to take up a third language. Does anyone know if this is the situation for St Nicks? Thank you.
